A Prayer to the Wild at Heart, Kept in Cages

Going Somewhere"

My science-friend, my noblest woman-friend,
(Now buried in an English grave--and this a memory-leaf for her dear sake,)
Ended our talk--"The sum, concluding all we know of old or modern
learning, intuitions deep,
"Of all Geologies--Histories--of all Astronomy--of Evolution,
Metaphysics all,
"Is, that we all are onward, onward, speeding slowly, surely bettering,
"Life, life an endless march, an endless army, (no halt, but it is
duly over,)
"The world, the race, the soul--in space and time the universes,
"All bound as is befitting each--all surely going somewhere."


Walt Whitman

Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do
There are hundreds of ways to kneel
And kiss the earth.

Rumi

what is making me cry

I got one of those email questionaires and my daft answers made the sender recommend I resume therapy, including:

what is currently making you laugh: the last audition notice I got - to "improv a turkey" for a national commercial -- can you hear them pounding the nails in my career's coffin

what is currently making you think: the resounding question, rattling around in my head, of; "WTF am I doing?!!!"

what is under your bed: my dog and her short boyfriend, doing heavens knows

what is currently making you sigh: my brother's successful morphene withdrawal (with relief)

what is currently making you cry: Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, Nimrod Opus (but in a good way)

We have to learn how to stay in a good yet unruly mood as we overthrow the cockeyed mass hallucination that is mistakenly referred to as reality.
