dear members....white wolfe will be retreating into the shadows again

for a while and merely enjoy the dance of words and ideas here from a

distance....from the time i was a boy (about 5) until about the time i

became a man (about 30), i wrote poetry about the relationship between

"nothingness and love and peace and new beginnings"....at that point

in time i stopped writing because i felt i had run out of new things

to say to myself ...about a year ago i found that at mid-life (45) i

had more to say.....now, once again i find i have nothing more to say

about nothing other than that, for me, conceptual non-duality must be

grounded in non-dual love, that is it must be a true marriage between

transient love and higher love....the poem that follows celebrates the

awakening, the enlightenment, the stillness, the silence that such a

marriage and such love is bringing into my life....^^~~~~

 

further up and further in,

 

white wolfe

 

p.s. an epithalamion is poetical form that is long and repetitive....a

song actually....it is literally meant to read out loud as if there is

music and dancing going on....
