Third and last stanza of a poem I wrote called AWARENESS IS LIFE'S ART
Our consciousness ascends a stair
illuminating truths that tear
apart the lairs of id that vend
illusion that our mind's our friend.
This light, the darkness cannot bear—
Awareness is life's art...
Second stanza of the poem AWARENESS IS LIFE'S ART
A bud must burst for blossoms fair
to blend their beauty with the air;
soul's fragrance sends forth ego's end.
Awareness is life's art...
AWARENESS IS LIFE'S ART
First stanza of a poem (next ones in next posts)
Awareness is life's art that dares
to stride with rare and mystic flair
along light-paths that tend to rend
perception so our concepts bend,
attuning thought to spirit's air.

"To sit alone in the lamplight with a book
spread out before you and
hold intimate converse
with men of unseen generations ―
such is pleasure beyond compare."

UPDATE - great news! FEMA leased us a brand new furnished apartment. I'm raising money for Recovering from Hurricane Ian. Click to Donate: https://t.co/m8tZDdmCe6 #GoFundMe
@GailPeckRauner Thanks a ton, sweet dear friend. A few days ago, FEMA transitioned us to a 1-year-paid-for lease in a new, furnished apartment in Cape Coral (a bit far but better than a hotel or trailer!). We are so relieved. But we still need help for rebuilding the house. Bless you! Thanks!
Thanks for your donations, friends, on my birthday yesterday. This fundraiser is ongoing, because the recovery process from Hurricane Ian is ongoing and extensive. Please click to Donate: https://t.co/m8tZDdmCe6 #GoFundMe
