Cosmic

When you used the word Cosmic my memory went running backwards.  Have you ever read "Cosmic Consciousness" by William Bucke. Not really sure of his name, but he writes about how men came to search holier ground  in their 30's and 40's.  He also tells of his first meeting with Cosmic Consciousness  It is a wonderful book.

Wadsworth

I never went to high school, I went on to Business School and when I turned 16, graduated and went to work, therefore, I know nothing of the two writings you have set down, but I do feel them somewhat irrestible and they calmed my manic mind.

I quite agree with what you have posted! I feel that is how my poetry finds its way on paper! Wonderful post! I learn so much from your blog! And, we are down to hours and my son will be out of war! I can't wait! Shelly
