EVERY POEM IS AN ATTEMPT TO FIND SUPREME FREEDOM Every poem that I write Is an attempt to rise up Through the clouds of Painful confusion which comes From a mind seeking to Know itself and break through Into the clear light of consciousness. Every word is striking a match In the darkness to see Who I really am and to Make a way forward through Writing, meditation and prayer Into the supreme freedom of Having used all of my life experiences To become a Self realized Soul while still living in the Dusty world of daily life. April 2001 Still Mountain Retreat
