The first step to gaining knowledge is to recognize one's own ignorance
To take a stance against stupidity even if it means standing alone
The second step to gaining knowledge is to inhale a whirlwind of knowledge and exhale understanding
To fly on the winds of wisdom

Written by Keith Edward Baucum

They say you're a figment of man's imagination
A way to explain the unknown
They say science is the one true God
That there's an explanation for everything
That they can solve any problem with a mathematical equation
Is it true what they say?
That you're just a figment of man's imagination and that science is the one true God
No of course not.

He pulls away, precariously balanced
above the raucous creek slicing through
the campground’s city-like togetherness

she protectively hovers, hands cupped
inches from his slender back, prepared to grab
honoring his need for independence

the crooked lodge pole leans
toward what little sun is bestowed
upon it by its larger brethren

a mother, a child
a tree, a stream
soft light.
