“No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.” D.H. Lawrence
Philosopher's Lament Perhaps, but the path is not conquered by having a why, certainty is so easily undone and knowing is not in the mind, to touch another in soul moments is to unfetter the universe and recast the lights of heaven as dandelion seeds on the breath of desire, a love thermal to carry the world to heights yet unknown beyond the very smallness of reason, perhaps, yes, life is far more organic. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Loved it…”knowing is not in the mind,
to touch another in soul moments
is to unfetter the universe and
recast the lights of heaven as
dandelion seeds on the breath
of desire,”

As much as I long for life to be ruled by right reason and good sense, in the end, the organic approach is what allows us to grow and reach new heights.
I had to chuckle when I saw the title of your poem come across my email . I was working on a story yesterday titled “A Philosopher Is Bitten by the Imp of the Perverse.”
