BEHIND THE RING: Some thoughts in honor of Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken Behind the veils of time are dramas with translucent lines: enter them through dreams. Beyond the range of what's seen many realities compete: allow each to fade and spring. Past each pattern that could be called a "self" are bridges connecting us to everything else: sense them as you breathe. Beyond the motion of each breath many things indescribable are at rest: relax and notice when they sing. ===================================================================================== from _Love Poems: Nonsense from the Heart_ SUMMARY: A poem and visual image about individuality, universality, and song.
