Glad to hear you are feeling more optimistic. I have been feeling better after surrendering. To what I am not sure but I can’t live or help others in the persistent sad state. Thank you for the music. I have found lots of comfort in one of your earlier ones, by Patrick Lenk, which I purchased and listen to often, even playing in my head as I drift off to sleep.

If I hadn't seen your comment, I'd have missed the lovely, inspiring music. Makes me imagine Celia's news has a religious aspect.

It sounds like you've found Russian Orthodoxy. It won me over as well!

I hope you enjoy Pascha!

Would feeling lost be like life in the big city? Like if I go to buy a pack of smokes, and suspect I might get into an argument with the guy behind the counter, who gave me a lighter the last time I showed up, for wanting matches? Or like you've said, I think, from missing people, and the old crowd, who used to hang out at a place called 'the lane' in my old park? A counselor at a Catholic summer camp I was at once told me to 'get lost' with a sincere intent after I made fun of his name, once too many times, back during Vietnam, and he could just have easily have passed for Jesus for the concern he showed for us campers. Or what if lost means something that follows from the certainty hinted at in the movie Final Destination 2, where a guy in a morgue says something cryptic you're supposed to know or admit to, but you don't want to, just yet, for meanwhile just wanting to get free from under the impression of impending fate, like Simon Zealot and the gang in Jesus Christ Superstar? Anyway, check out Kimberly and Claire in Final Destination 2-- https://archive.org/details/310toyuma_202307

Cognizance

He did not, skinning limbs,

disembarking the apple, exactly fear

the gravel truck he could not then

hear or see. Only a theorized gravitas

massed in him. The grazing mare with colt

raised up her face, inhaled the unfenced

hay field's muggy air. A thunderhead

of knowing clapped. He was ten, told

keep an eye on the pair while the others

did whatever others do. A limb

he knew grew fat enough for him to inch out

onto his mother's asphalt roof and from there

watch the two. Her lovely neck curved

roadward. Near and now blurred,

a whorl of branches. Bark flew. Off the wall

and down through the goldenrod he ran,

prepared to do what he did not know.

Knees punched him backwards in the chest

when he cleared the ditch. They were

drinking at the culvert, a hundred yards

south, two lives away. The belly dump

rose from a dip in the road, battleship gray

with purpose. Stay. Stay. Tires snapped

in soft tar. It’s air horn split the air

like oak. His own air hissed, a burst hose.

The mare was dead before she hit the grass.

He never learned what happened with the foal.

Could be. The heart is a lonely hunter.

Four large turkeys farther down our driveway, all with their wings so stretched they look like condors. We are all at some time or another turkeys for love.

Humans disappoint but creation is forever. Paradoxically it is the wonder of the grand design that especially this time of year humans join the birds and bees in the ode to creation.

May the call of your projections be answered.
