I wonder, as I listen to Bhagwan’s words
if the difference he defines
between knowledge and knowing
doesn’t have something to do
with the difference between holistic
and sequential modes of perception…
sort of like an apparatus we control
the F stop.
Full open is holistic with full parallel processing
the ego dead because nothing can exist
separate from the process?
letting the past, as memory or judgment
come in is analogous to dividing the task
forming alternatives or sequentiality into it
closing the aperture…
attenuating the sensitivity…
biasing the wait….

How much I’ve come about
these last few years
my love for Rose and Danny and Chris
is never at issue
it overflows at the slightest thought
where before were only dreams

So this Irish son of immigrants married
the daughter of Norwegians
and he from a line that ended faltering
and she from the small Minnesota towns
lost in dust.

The years have passed, the wrinkles grown,
the children strong.

What are we…you, my love, and I
but the fabric that has made my life a joy.

I wish I could say my thoughts better
my heart fills with so much
and I turn to try to say
how very much I care.
