Maine- a friend’s photo © 2012 Rolland G. Smith Upon the beach he stands alone, But lonely he cannot abide. There is a space between the two, Where mind decides the distance ‘tween. You cannot see where his stare starts Or where it stops within his thought. The distance is a grain of [...] Continue reading Solitude I’ve posted this poem before and I will again on the occasion of celebrating MLK’s birthday. Martin Luther King © 1995 Rolland G. Smith I had a dream the other night and Martin Luther King was there. He spoke in tones befit the wise and asked me if I’d share, the news of how [...] Continue reading Martin Luther King On such a beautiful morning my thoughts lean toward perceptions.

The wind is pruning the leaves. The splendid colors of the tree spirits now festoon Gaia’s ground with a varigated quilt of color. On such a beautiful morning, my thoughts lean toward perceptions. Concretized perceptions, however, limit the perceived wonder of life and [...] Continue reading The Splendor of Routine |
