when these poems are written, it is as if we are conversing & You are revealing luminous & precious inner treasure. it forges a connection & creates a continuing flow from You to me, cascading out to all the people who see this. thus it is a conduit of blessing that moves through me & out into the world like an outpouring deep into cloistered chambers, opening the closed doors & windows, lighting lamps & making tea, settling into human life with no prejudice or reluctance. it is as if we are conversing when these poems are written, Shiva, & sharing our communion just as the lamp shares its light.
