I have been writing this book all my life but am only aware now that this is so.In the 1990s all that I had valued had fallen away, forcing me to increasingly seekinner truth. My first rersponse was to be open, apparently, structuring forms, statements,questings to secure the mind. Such refuge was temporal, further searching inevitable. There is a shift in the seeings sequence. Beyond the blood is the fulcrum for this.This particular poem took about ten days to write, a period of burning, sweating intensity.After this was finally completed, the rest of this sequence followed, at the pace of aboutone a day. Quite often I did not know where they were coming from.I would begin with an idea or image, and a poem would enfold from that source, sometimeswith a clarity I found quite wonderful, as in the Peopling places and Knowledge items. Hogan-San looked through the manuscript before designing the cover. He said the poem One was all that the book needed! All of this is an experience of life energies flowing through, and I am still blessedwith an energy beyond my conscious mind.Long may this be! www.jkstuart.com
