The source of words
is the very source
of human thought.
If we are to under-
stand one another,
we must find the source
of our words.
The sources of
our streams of consciousness
are as varied as nature;
from the highest pinnacles
to the bowels of the earth.
The nature of the sources
matters little.
The highest may be polluted;
the purest flow may come
from the deepest spring.
Recognizing our own source
is essential
when our streams merge.
Our thoughts commingle,
and still remain our own.
In the foaming tumble
over the boulders
of daily living,
it is well to remember
our innermost selves,
like the river,
need the aeration
of an outlet and a
few
deep
breaths.
Once we have come
to our under-
standing,
we need not remain
below those we now
stand under.
(the beauty of words
is the very beauty
of human thought)

The source of words
