Poem:

One wonders how do you systematize love with persistence? It is like going to the school of divinity. You can leave your body behind and travel up your spine. The path is counter-intuitive so you have to feel it. The first thing you do is sit still in the present. You could be a vegetarian and eat in the early afternoon. You could be NOT persistant with eating food. This poem was short changed because I meditated instead. DS Poem November 25, 2018 In many and reportless places We feel a Joy — Reportless, also, but sincere as Nature Or Deity — It comes, without a consternation — Dissolves — the same — But leaves a sumptuous Destitution — Without a Name — Profane it by a search — we cannot It has no home — Nor we who having once inhaled it — Thereafter roam. Poem 1382 Emily Dickinson
