Taste Again
("The Cave of Unknowing", original oil on canvas, 2012)
Taste Again
In the cave of unknowing
all my accumulations are gathered
accoutrements and sign posts
along the way I have chosen.
The path though never leaves the cave.
What awaits outside is pathless
immediate and direct.
In the cave of unknowing I sit
and see all my troubles
have always been the ripple I send out
from being me.
No matter how they go out and come back
eventually they settle
and I taste again
what it means to be free.
