The Literate Collector

(For the awakening.)

I do not doubt that you are there and that I am also, in some future past time; and that together we are enjoying it all. And so I thank you, Great Awareness in which I also live, for Calla Lillies and Birds and Hollyhocks and Bougainvillea and the aroma of a good posole and the fit of a new dress. There are then the stars that I love and the rivers I adore and the single leaves of trees in which I can lose my temporary this moment self in. The sheer wonder of it all. And women marching everywhere! And being the most wondrous of the human lot with their amazing capacity to recreate the human universe. Oh, Great and Everlasting Awareness I have been with you while looking for you all my long life! And here you turn up today as you do everyday as myself, all the awakened women, children, and men, in the world, and Everything else.
