"I just read The 1932 3AF Claret. What a fine and beautiful book. The work develops very nicely poem to poem, "Band-i-Amir", "in the backyard," where I spaced out on the sunlight on the squirrel's fur, before you got to Heraclitus, and I'm thinking, Krech has always been an attorney, working with the facts, even if they are the colors in a hallucination, and then "Omar's Guest," with the snazzy, "an Actuary would consider his risk / unacceptable." wonderful. And "In Chambers" itself, a fine rendition of a central fact of our culture, the inhabitant of the robe changing as we go." ~ Charles Potts

IN REFERENCE TO TIME, SPACE, & MATTER "All is aflame" the awakened one said referring to the dance of electrons neutrons & quarks in the 6 paradises of the physical sphere beyond your eye beyond your ear beyond your nose beyond your tongue beyond your body beyond your mind. It is all Tantric layering perfectly still & empty. Solid space. One thousand years later Vasabhandu the Younger realized that past, present & future all occur at once. Later still, Einstein declared space curved like a hot bubble expanding with concentric force all burning furiously perfectly still & frozen solid. We rush over the surface or build towers of Babel to the sky worrying about what time it is or how much grain we have put away for the winter. Right mindfulness is already here. You have only to realize it. Relax. (pause) then action.   09.21.01
