Columbia summer 2025

 Waking up to the overcast skies with grey clouds slowly cascading away

They slowly reveal pockets of sunlight streaming through blue skies behind. 


Ohh and now I wonder…..


Do you think there is a pocket of heaven in Colombia?


Maybe down by the river, under the power lines, And just outside the city's grasp… ???

Could it be below the graffiti stained Concrete bridge with the road smudged in oil?

The one that carries passengers to Center City


Yes I think it could be so


Just follow Three Rivers Greenway to where the sounds of the rolling waters push hard over the river's rocks drowning out the noises beyond the bridge


Cicadas and birds will be singing over the rushing waters


You can close your eyes with arms wide open to the soothing waters breeze whisping through and over your skin 


To become one with yourself ~ 

Tuning in and then eyes widened and open

 to all the others that have found this place

 

To the fisherman pulling his bounty and kayak smiling proudly this nearly sunny day


His two children gliding slowly behind as they pass by friends sharing their morning cup


Strangers smiling and waving with No Fear or sadness in the air


So if you see train 515

hop on and He'll take you there

When he silences his whistle that's your cue to jump off

Find the garden of eight foot shooting sunflowers

Lay a blanket 

then watch the sounds


? A little pocket of heaven?

I think it could be so

If these fragments point anywhere, they point toward wonder. Acknowledgments This work was inspired in part by the writings of Dr. Sam Vaknin, whose poetry and explorations of time asymmetry, consciousness, identity, and psychology challenged me to ask deeper questions. The poem “The New Gods” is a philosophical response to Dr. Vaknin’s “The Old Gods.” The reflections that follow are entirely my own and represent an evolving personal theory of consciousness. They are offered not as conclusions, but as fragments gathered in pursuit of understanding. The New Gods...

Riverwalk revisited

Heaven in Columbia revisited  A little patch from four seasons past  Sitting by the sunflowers along side the rushing waters 🌊  We’ve got a while before the next trains 🚂 pass  The sunflowers 🌻 gave birth to a patch of zinnia  while we were away  Umbrellas at every table for shading hearts  Still bright and blue without any fade  Bumble bees 🐝 hard at tending the flowers 🌺  The hawk on the wire keeps them in line  River walk patrol  ~ protecting all souls  A newly posted map 🗺️ to guide one’s time When I thought nothing could make it better 👌 The clouds began to fade ☁️🌥️🌤️ A taco 🌮 truck pulled in and parked  Then a wobbly toddler smiled and waved 🧒  I
