The Words of Christ


Looking outward to things, like philosophy, religion, politics with a hunger for meaning and truth, sometimes helped me sometimes not. Though sometimes in parables and in words that have to be spiritually discerned to understand, Jesus spoke plainly. His teachings were not esoteric or swept up in philosophical abstraction If ye have ears he says listen. But it must be discerned and understood through The Spirit. The eyes of The Spirit that sees not in shades and veils I still feel that I can read what I want, but many books if they don't point in the direction of Christ, have their hopes too much in the world, which after all is only temporary. A train station a waiting room of tired souls

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
