we come from so far away
each of us
seeking the sacred mountains
and the Other
stumbling tongues essaying
the lingua franca
behind words
still love to do with becoming
more not less
oneself
this trying to live wide open
the saying yes
the trust
while the head holds tight
but the heart like a
March hare
day after day leaps forward
into darkness
every step
the first
- Roselle Angwin (in Looking For Icarus, bluechrome 2005)
Walking the Old Ways : nature, the bardic & druidic arts, holism, Zen, the ecological imagination
from BARDO
The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way
Is it a consolation
is star-stuff too?
– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –
Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.
