Notes About The Poem

The Heart of the Matter

("With Love", 2017, original encaustic)

The Heart of the Matter

What is it that really matters?

Is it finding the answers to the big questions,
- finding our place in the cosmology of it all - 
Or is it something else entirely,
Something more personal and immediate,
Something of the heart and not the head?

I’ll leave it at that.
