“The mystical is not how the world is, but that it is.” Ludwig Wittgenstein
The Sea Shell The spiral, always the movement, beautiful premonition, the sum of before itself, the string that is this long, a labyrinth of mystical rhythm better than a minotaur's maze, a way through the demise of certainty, healing for disconnection, the disavowal of accumulation, a slowing down, contemplating the beauty in the sounds of nature, the smell of soil, ash of my ancestors, the sounds of love's tympani on my heart of hearts, O fragile sea shell, speak more.

Lovely poem, Paul. ❤ My home is decorated with pine cones and seashells…meaningful to me. " A world in a grain of sand…"
