In Be Here Now, Ram Dass relates a journey of spiritual discovery. Here he captures the essence of my relationship with writing poetry:
Going through it you have touched a place inside yourself that has an intuitive validity — an experience which was so powerful and valid but it was so discontinuous with normal consciousness that you scream.
I channel those screams – recognizing that the world as I perceive it is fleeting and conditional – into poems that give my fragile epiphanies a chance at permanence.
