 Near your breastbone there is
 an open flower.
 Drink the honey that is all
 around that flower.
 Waves are coming in:
 There is so much
 magnificence near the ocean!
 Listen: Sound of big
 seashells! Sound of bells!
 Kabir says: Friend, listen this
 is what I have to say:
 The Guest I love is inside me!
Kabir

  Ah!  Up then from the ground sprang I
 And hailed the earth with such a cry
 As is not heard save from a man
 Who has been dead, and lives again.
 About the trees my arms I wound;
 Like one gone mad I hugged the ground;
 I raised my quivering arms on high;
 I laughed and laughed into the sky,

The Confessions of Saint Augustine
Leo Tolstoy - War and Peace
 --------------------------------------------------------
But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, still, alone, more fragile, but with more vitality, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, ready to remind us, waiting and hoping for their moment, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unfaltering, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.

Marcel Proust - Remembrance of Things Past
4
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
 mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
 che' la diritta via era smarrita.
 
 Ahi quanto a dir qual era e' cosa dura
 esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
 che nel pensier rinova la paura!
 
 Tant'e' amara che poco e' piu' morte;

Dante - The Divine Comedy

In dreams begin responsibilities, so wrote the poet. So it is perhaps. Could it be we take our dreams too lightly, those images from places unknown? Could they in fact be angels in flight, our souls aloft? You know, recent experiences have made yours truly take another pass through the metaphysical thickets. As unlikely as it may sound in this rational age, I emerged on the side of those that cannot help but put their faith in that which cannot be easily explained. Be open to your dreams people. Embrace that distant shore. Cause our mortal journey is over all too soon. Chris Stevens Cicely Alaska 97 AM KBHR
