"Your friend will argue with you."
Solzhenitsyn



"There are no rules of architecture
for a castle in the clouds."
G. K. Chesterton




Scry me to the moon



"The real object of education
is to have one in the condition
of continually asking questions."
Bishop Creighton


"Crystal sincerity hath found no shelter but in a fool's cap."
Gerard Manley Hopkins

I am the scryer of surf breaks
who reads the entrails of this land,
this`aina.
Lines of hieroglyphic clouds,
and the sounds of Chinatown's
close city streets,
human languages, and trade winds,
all speak to me
in shadings and gradations
of truth.

An "enemy" dead
is revealed a friend
and co-creator;
thus I gratefully battle
my interlocutors with chivalry.
For, after all,
they serve their vision of the good
too.

And if they've taken
the hypocrisy oath
for power, security, or money only
they'll face a harsher Critic
than myself,
empowered to punish
and purify.

I read the entrails of this life:
"All Good."



ALOHA, Friend! cloudia
