Dear person I met during harinam on the plaza,
In the occurrence of which I realized
every detail of the circumstances of our encounter
was absolutely unique,
and yet simultaneously eternal -

To you I wish the greatest happiness,
be you an illusion or real.

    This is probably my favorite piece of yours, Nik.
    I love it.
    It is so simple, but perfect.

    Very nice Nik. I bet she was real.

    Ah Virgil, you misunderstood a little bit. Actually it was someone who seemed okay at first, but by the end seemed strange and slightly intense. It is supposed to be about... I don't know... being indifferent to such a person.

    And Becca... thanks! :)

    And Mtpspur... yes, it is definitely like that... the divine is always there, even if we don't recognize it... one of my favourite poems of Emily Dickinson is very short...

    The infinite a sudden guest
    has been assumed to be,
    but how can that stupendous come
    which never went away?

    Excellent poem Nikolai--thnak oyu for sharing that very much. I have always found you a deep thinker and observer of the beauty in everything.

    I guess I didn't see it. I still don't but so be it.

    That is understandable, Virgil. :) It wasn't part of the poem, per se, but it was what the poem was actually about.

    Thank you Mtpspur, that is kind of you - I am a neophyte observer of the beauty of life. :)
