"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
