At dVerse Lisa is hosting Poetics with an invitation to write about fermentation.
dVerse Poets – Poetics – What’s Bubbling
“A seeker of truth looks beyond the apparent and contemplates the hidden.” Rumi
The Taking Of Time The ancient art of contemplation sits less in the culture of now than ever before since past, to wait without anticipation, holding expectations in check, sifting experiences and feelings, weighing the pros and cons, discerning the path while avoiding the obvious ologies. Always there is epiphany, quickly it seems , comes the revelation, and yet it takes days, months even years to find a place to fit the pieces together for just a season. The sense of direction or even indirection, must be felt in order to arrive at any sense of it all, experience ferments and we must let it distill long enough to become the sweetness of our lives and effervesce our choices.

Paul, you and Reena wrote along similar lines to the prompt. So many exquisite turns of phrase in here beyond your gestalt. Favorites: “discerning the path while
avoiding the obvious ologies.”
“let it distill long enough
to become the sweetness of
our lives and effervesce our
choices.”
Wise words, my friend. This poem is a keeper.

This really speaks to me today. You always have a way od doing that! I am having a terrible time make decision currently. You describe me perfectly but made it sound so beautiful when it feels so ugly and empty… I appreciate that. It reminds me I am human.
