Success in circuit lies
hard work, honesty beget success
Demonstrated, deeply ingrained in
my nubile mind’s receptive circuit
-Woke consciousness junks the lies
The Truth’s superb surprise
they worship sleeping gods, but the
priest chooses silence in Truth’s
deepest interest; life’s gift is superb
the end will reveal a deserved surprise
Lines chosen for the Golden Shovel are from Emily Dickinson’s poem, shared by Jodi
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —

hi, Reena❣️

David

We don’t really know how much is incubating inside us. Awareness takes things to a different level.
