dr_con Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes! ( Observing Martin Luther King's 85th Birthday ) Not understanding is a sextant of navigation the unbridled Yes! responds to I Have a Dream oration Akashic unbroken echoing echoing disembodied Never the same twice in a row Truth held deeply Hear it now: Yes! Yes! A chorus God within invoked To be Host hungry hungry ghosts is human To see Unknowingly divine The Center everywhere All mountain sides Not just Stone Mountain Georgia where gnostic Freedom Reigns Rains Rings To cry Yes! alone in the wilderness to map it is to remember to Be to Become Free at last Free at last Free at last Yes!

dcmarti1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 To see Unknowingly divine Ah, yes, shades of the distant, Aristotelian Creator. Or the medieval, mystical text The Cloud of Unknowing. All mixed with the non-nonsense of prophets like Amos & MLK. Also enjoyed this: to map it is to remember to Be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_con Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm glad you enjoyed Tony! I hard the last 10 of the speech @ the UU church: http://youtu.be/HRIF4_WzU1w?t=16m43s, I think the tepid response is because we haven't heard this in awhile (I haven't). Interestingly the tape that was played @ church really made you feel like you were there- Maybe recorded from the podium (?) and the crowd sounds were muted @ a distance except for the divine Yes! that was the inspiration of this piece. Many Thanks Tony- I enjoyed writing this and have had some fantastic responses in other places, as always I deeply appreciate the read...;-) Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdelano Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Have spent countless hours observing heavenly bodies through a sextant's lens. For me, your words celebrate the celestial level of our cultural heroes. Sad that we don't seem able to hold onto their philosophies for more than a generation. Thank you.

Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Dr. Con... I too like what Marti high-lighted for both quotes speak volumes of what you are suggesting here. This really resonates with me well and this line says it all... "to map it is to remember to Be" above remark is one of the better original lines I have read in awhile and come across on the amateur poetry boards. Excellent stuff and this really does emphasize MLK speech this line below.... "To see Unknowingly divine" That line really reminded me of MLK's 'I have a Dream' speech as the way you ending you brilliant work using a quote from MLK using this oracle device in speech that right now offhand I can't recall oddly... Really Really enjoyed.... Thank-You for sharing... victor Quote Larsen M. Callirhoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
