This is the eighth of the series of reflections arising from a month in silence and solitude; the musings invite the reader to explore the Truth for himself or herself. May the writer's reflections be windows to look in, or out, onto the vista of our one Beloved, our deepest, truest Self. Peace! Brian

Here is the second in a short poems sub-series (see June 1 for first, The Door Opens), to Confuse to Clarity. The following is an excerpt from the introduction to this sub-series.
These poems, some would say, mystical, some would observe paradox. My poetry is usually paradoxical, often more like a koan, offering reflection, a door that may open to clarity, so the confusion inhering in the poem is intended to be confusing. We come to clarity, spiritually, not through the mind, but within and through the one Heart, so the mind must be confused and disabled, then a door opens. You see what you did not anticipate seeing, could not think yourself into seeing ~ thankfully! And, remember, the message you may think one of these poems shares, well, some shallow wells may be bottomless, when you really give time to see. Thank You!
One who can bear Silence can bear all things~ does
