David, Washington D.C.

(Poem as Portal journeys) crack the mundane, open the nut in which we live into something more…. (The gathering) enables minds looking for transcendence to receive the offerings of others’ thoughts… without judgment… freely. Quiet reflection… allows silence to speak. After gatherings I feel refreshed… and open to my unleashed thoughts. (I experience) a fanning of tamped down embers that warms the soul.
