         Knowledge isn’t worth much
           unless its lived
         and one of the first things to know
           is that living, really living
         cannot be divided
           like church and state.

         Ego echos begin to run
           like thieves of your spirit and quest
         until you recognize them
           and CHOP!…
         Silence again …
           only on blank paper
         can experience give birth
           to knowing
         Chop until
           silence goes on
              forever.

         I hear the muse at my heart
           whispering of more stories
         than I can ever hope to complete
           or comprehend.
         Lives of service to the children who starve,
           of decent into the decadence of Amsterdam,
         of abandoning the things that tie me
           to aging without raw adventure and risk.
         When he pulls, I ache for things
           I’ve never had – and yet have somehow lost,
         of going with my spiritual side
           of stepping into the wind and clamor of life, raw.
