1973-10-10 Grace

Wednesday, October 10th, 1973
                       Grace
      Perhaps I'm foolish to believe
      I understand grace
      but when she comes to me
      there's no doubt
      and when she leaves
      no mistake
      I can mark her presence by the absense
      and absence by the presence of life's cares
      She comes when my best is realized
      and yet she's not a steady mark
      for she'll run one step ahead of understanding
      and fade with time unfulfilled.
      She enfolds you unasked
      and hides when sought
      I believe she is the reward,
      undefined as it seems,
      to those who seek truth and love
      by creating and living their best dreams.

                             Carla
         Carla, the direct experience girl,
         blew some of my fuses
         when I fell into her eyes...
               It was when...
               looking at her gave way to
               seeing into her which gave way to
               understanding her which became
               loving her which was the direct knowledge
               of experiencing more than
               I could cope with...
         It was then that smoke
         began to coil out of my ears
         that curiosity gave way
         to overload .... Zap!

Saturday, October 13th, 1973
            Peace floats in my soul
            like slow liquid notes.
            Encompassed in a universe
            that gives answers
            to those who seek,
            I am the circle, complete,
            once more.
