in the predawn fog
a faint outline of fences
could be observed

We're born, we live, we die.
That's called life. What is life
about? For so many, it's just
about survival. For a tiny number,
it is about acquisition of things.
For the blessed, it is about love--
love of self, love of another,
love of all. I wrote once that
the greatest thing you can ever
be is your real self. To be true to
your real self is to be true to all
others, true to the Cosmos.
Fame is a social cosmetic.
Wealth is unconscious com-
pensation for lack of self-love
and thus for lack of love for
others;  political power much
the same. Leadership is an
amalgam of real power, self-
love and love of others, and
the courage to do the right
thing. It is uncommon and
precious. To live your life
fully, you must be fully
your real self.

we all could meet in the dark
-the night

but there are other 'darks'
far darker

do not be afraid (Jung)(Jesus)
of your dark side

today is the longest day
for a whole year

many darks can play across your soul
but in the end;

in the end we will wake
and be astonished.
