When I open the blinds early in the
morning
the light starting to brighten nearby trees; brush
and grass is just somehow not quite the same
as sunlight, nor even the light holding constant
of a midnight sun nor that of an All Hallows Eve
moon’s glow. Yes, instead, it is like, to me, quite
similar to those occasions when I open my bible
to reread a favorite passage and my realizing this
is like opening out my thought waves, a chance
opportunity to explore ideas whether fresh or
retouched. Indeed, it then feels like a reaching in
and/or bringing back something fermenting and
growing. Ah, these times are more infrequent, much
less often than I wish but still very real and welcome.
I wonder did Dante or Aquinas have frequent break-
throughs such as I, or perhaps only the likes of Pasteur
and de Vinci engaged in such forthright activity results?
Oh, to be a quiet bug on a studio easel or chapel pew.
