The Mystic and the Pragmatist

 I draw a SoulCollage® card pretty much every day as a guide for the day.  Here's one that sparked a poem. What is hard to see is that the woman on the right is holding a model of a factory.



The Mystic and the Pragmatist

In Memory of Angeles Arrien and Seena Frost

 

 

Angeles always advised,

“Walk the mystical path

with practical feet.”

 

It is truly a balancing

act, always juggling

the moon and the machine,

the stars and the darkness.

 

This waterfall world

is liminal. Edge dwelling

is what we have.

 

Neither mystic nor

pragmatist must

reign supreme;

one alone is

half a soul.

 

Ground the body!

Raise your eyes and

your hands!

See how the waterfall

links heaven and earth!
