“Resolve to carry on the quest of your own reality.” — Sathya Sai Baba, 7 April 1968, from Sathya Sai Baba Speaks. Vol. VI.

A call, then obligatory response.
We rationalized into excuses—
a burial and flourish.

I peel to the flesh of an orange.
I didn’t find what I was looking for—
whatever that what was supposed to be.
The sky is fog; the fog is sky.
Venus still hums her vibrations.
