Bio

Be a light unto yourself; betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourself.
Buddha

somewhere I have never traveled,
gladly beyond any experience
your eyes have their silence
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me
or which I cannot touch because they are too near.

your slightest look will unclose me
though I have closed myself as fingers
you open always petal by petal myself, as spring opens
touching skillfully, mysteriously her first rose

or if your wish be close to me,
I and my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly
as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending.

nothing which we are able to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility
whose texture compels me with the color of it's countries
rendering death and forever with each breathing

I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens
only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

e.e. cummings... "somewhere I have never traveled"
