THE ART OF LIVING

the gigantic wave
of the mountain
hurling itself upon

the impossible blue
of the land
of the sky

the moment
set in stone
happening

again &
again
in my mind

*

First time ever in Greece and I step out the door that first morning and the whole landscape is doing that OREAD thing and the moment claimed me for its own.

Epicurus   - The Art of Happiness

Oread
BY H. D.

Whirl up, sea
—whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines
on our rocks,
hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.
