Permalink to Zen Cognition, comments about the Poetry Foundation's magazine

http://zencognition.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-poetry-foundations-mailing-list.html

I concluded today that I can do more polishing and editing of all the compositions I have been collecting in digital format and eventually make a submission to a real poetry magazine.  It is my great leap forward you might say.  If you follow the above link you will find additional comments concerning enrolling in the Poetry Foundation's mailing lists.  You are welcome to join me there.

You will find that I will post items to this blog in the future, but I have concluded that my more creative talents are better placed in a different channel.  Basically, I don't think I am getting enough feedback on this blog, so I am searching for gratification elsewhere.  Now don't worry, you're not fired and I'm not quitting.  I am simply re-directing some of my energy.

I hope you continue to find my comments here as interesting as you all have in the past.  I will keep plugging away.  I think I am hooked on writing creatively at this point and after all, the great USA is still a free country.....

Cheers.  There is plenty more writing from me where all this has come from, so look for me in the slick magazine editions of Poetry in the future.  I might actually make it someday.

Quanta: A temporary lull in the painfulness of living (excerpt)

 sometimes I feel like I am on the edge of dissolving
Into the quanta constituents that make me up.
 A bunch of racing elementary particles and energy
Like ripples on the ocean all independent and interconnected
At the same time.  Only this time there is no time, just the spaces between
Moments like falling rain drops
Each capturing something unique about the nothingness
Of which it is made.

Other times not so much.

Anyway, I think this will hold together for me
I just have to keep reminding myself
That prosperity is the glue that makes all this stick together
But then again it is not that.
Money is a sign of the quality that makes this reality all stick together
It is not the quality of the "stickiness of reality" itself
So see I am not so crazy.
I simply seek the glue itself when money should suffice.
But then the glue is the source of the quanta which is prosperity also.

Believe in the harmony of Nature,
Congruity between the scales of existence.
Why do they call it Chaos Theory
Except for the fact the it will drive you to distraction
To contemplate the infinite coastline of the mind.
