Thank you for another thoughtful poem, Steve!

“We can be inspired but not transformed. Amass information but not wisdom.”

“Called to deep currents…”

More and more I need solitude and silence, the contemplative path, to enter the deep currents that are transformative and where wisdom emerges!

I read this at Sunrise when the sun looked like fire peeking through the trees in our backyard...so the words "broken world now on fire" took on special meaning. so broken and beautiful sat together in my heart in a healing way inspired by your poem and the morning sun..

Great poem! Powerful commentary on this age where so many’s moral compasses have been broken or removed, seduced by the false promises of fame, riches, idols.
