Many years ago I told my Friend Ed the Ex librarian a riddle I had heard-A man walks for fifteen minutes to the East and then fifteen North plants a flag goes back to his starting place Changes his direction and travels West fifteen Minutes then turn North and in few minutes he is Back at the flag. Where is he ? I asked Ed, a true Scholar. He pondered.looked puzzled and said I Don't Know-Where? I told him the flag was at the North pole. He pondered too deep for me and said: "There must be Another Place!" I knew he meant Another reality. The wonder The Wonder that it Might be so and maybe so much better than this Veil of tears it seems we know. Last night I was There. I woke up in my dream it was a somewhat Desolate place, a tract near a city that once had been Flat but ****** terrain over grown with old brush Dumped and growing. A breeze was blowing when First I saw it a she floating in the air-gamboling to And fro- I watched amazed and deciphered that I Was watching an old worn garment carried about By the wind. It came to earth and I examined it and So it was a thin bi of cloth. I threw it is a pile of brush Where it disappeared to my immediate regret because I knew I had seen something quite marvelous and too Odd to be ignored . I put a stick into the pile and poked For the cloth. It immediately rose up but now it was two pieces; a lamb that turned colors and frolicked delightfully At my very feet. I turned to my anonymous friend and Said even if we are only seeing dance of rags. It surely Has taken a goodly time for them to become such wind Nymphs. And is it not an augury that this is the time that Childish dreams will soon be realized=maybe Peace is About to come. Is even now Immanent. I think now of Dickens: It was the best of times; the worst time.... A time Like all times"- Magic is so interwove into the ordinary That one ner does see it until one wakes up in his dreams A mysterious stranger at his side where another place. is A place in the heart where the little king and i always reside It is always about to be. It is Now and nothing more...
