no gift grander than
are The Eleven Sayings*
long ago given

for so long cherished
and better – so long followed
faithful guides they are

the path unfolded
adventure joyfully forged
The Sayings held firm

answers were revealed
deeper led ever deeper
giving had no end

indeed what came in
did flow out as it must do
in and out...the same

and the crescendo…
solitude...desolation
a way of living

lived now and always
as presented each moment
given in silence

listed here but five
more there were and more there are
Eleven in all
