A reading is a kind of communion. The poet articulates the semi-known for the tribe.

There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.

Nature is orderly. That which appears to be chaotic in nature is only a more complex kind of order.

The lessons we learn from the wild become the etiquette of freedom.

I hold the most archaic values on earth ... the fertility of the soul, the magic of the animals, the power-vision in solitude.... the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe.

O, ah! The awareness of emptiness brings forth a heart of compassion!
