         They were looking
         and in looking they caused
         what they thought to be
         and the circle turned
         with the child at the center.

         I've seen it and can't believe
         those who say thought isn't physical.

         True, our grasp (attention) is not normally enough
         to perceive the causal connections
         which link subjective to objective
         imagination to creation
         and will to experience.

         But they exist.

         Interlocked; the seer and seen...
         no longer I and thee alone
         but we who touch
         by thinking's song.
         and by the other's presence feel
         the other's will as warmth or chill
         direct and clear the seeing thus
         is essence to essence
         by mental touch.
         the older reality
         so seen
         seems the thinner vail,
         pehaps the dream.

1973-11-26 Rons week and Rons wedding

Monday, November 26th, 1973

                  Ron's week and Ron's wedding

         There was an identity of the weekend
         which, like identity's twirl,
         left me wondering at the conjunction
         of people and ideas.

         As if the fabric,
         which showing whole for the moment,
         must recede into time and vanish
         as all the parts.
