"Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round
about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood
there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for
I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
An I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops
that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the
center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of
one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy."

- Black Elk Speaks,
The Great Vision, 1932, p. 36

Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're a poetry fan. Have you read Unexpected Light? Here's a link: http://www.cechaffin.com

oooh, you do have good taste in poetry. I am thinking myself of buying some Philip Larkin.

Enjoyed your library.

You have a laudable and wonderful library of poetry, and somehow floated to the top of my "members with the same books" list without my having noticed. I wonder, do you really not read fiction, or is it just not in your library?
Best regards,
Jay
