Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

You are not a fully fledged sailor unless you have sailed under full sail, and you have not built a wall unless you have rounded a corner.
Child Of The Road
Once on a rock beside a road
I sat watching the passers by
When one among them showed
To look back with a questing eye
He was a child, not more than three
Tagging along a dog behind
But once they rounded out a tree
The two, I no longer could find
That child, I thought, could once be me
Of many roads way back in time
Hopping along a preset way
As would a scripted playful mime
Life then was Spring, without the cares
The wilds with birds we hunted down
Me and my father put up snares
All conservation was our own
But Time has rounded out a tree
The child we no longer could find
Neither were wilds, even the spree
Except what were left in my mind.

It's also helpful to realize that this very body that we have, that's sitting right here right now... with its aches and it pleasures... is exactly what we need to be fully human, fully awake, fully alive.

I only really started to go to plays and to be interested in drama 20 years ago when as an artist I was already well-rounded. I think I'm more disciplined today.

Like Centaurs
The fluid works for years and years and more,
This concentrates my time with you this time,
I carefully see twice, my right and crime,
They work together like ambassador.
Arms fully die, like what is there before,
Legs march once those who march can come and climb
Like those before, as fast as any longtime,
We search tonight, then wonder anymore.
Like centaurs many ride the plains for food,
These creatures time their tracks once they fetch it,
They warn and read the dangers so distinct.
My fluid works in ways that continued,
The creature cries just like one hypocrite,
This means my living just is all extinct!

My Love, My Darling, My Lady, My Wife
i count the years with you
ten fingers and two toes
i have become well rounded:
not just a mathematician
not just a philosopher
i have become a poet as well:
feeling short of the numbers
explaining the reason for my being
and writing the saddest poems ever.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

Where Is The Poem Of The Evening?
Where is the poem of the evening?
Has it been lost to my happiness?
A happiness that does not really know why it is
But just is
Here now -
As if I in my old age have learned to love
Whatever time I have
And so defy the thought of all the unending time
In which I will not be on earth-
Who knows how much is left?
Some years? Some days? the next moment?
Whatever it is
I am at ease with my life now
Though I did not become all I dreamed-
And do not know the future –
There may not be much time left
But whatever time is left
I must do the best I can
To live in it as fully as happily as possible-
In my old age
I am surprised
At how happy I am
I do not know for how long it will continue
But it is here now and it is good-

No one is fit to judge a book until he has rounded Cape Horn in a sailing vessel, until he has bumped into two or three icebergs, until he has been lost in the sands of the desert, until he has spent a few years in the House of the Dead.

A Debtor To Mercy Alone
When time's no more and the eternal future has begun
When I stand before the throne of God, The Almighty One
When this mortal body has put on immortality
Then shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
When earth is no more and a new creation's taken place
When I enter heavens glory by His wonderful grace
When the glorious face of my Lord Jesus Christ I see
Then shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
When I stand there clothed in a righteousness not my own
When I sing with all the angels gathered around His throne
When I join with unnumbered saints in wondrous harmony
Then shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
Day (part two)
This moment
This time
These sweet grapes upon
This very vine,
This world just as
It now is
Shall never repeat itself.
The soul and the sun
The spirit in the wind
Shall never sing this
Exact same song together
Ever again.
No day
Will ever repeat
Nor replay,
This day alone -in itself-
Is fully good, fully complete.

From My Last Years
FROM my last years, last thoughts I here bequeath,
Scatter'd and dropt, in seeds, and wafted to the West,
Through moisture of Ohio, prairie soil of Illinois--through Colorado,
California air,
For Time to germinate fully.

Four colours
It is Brhmin
Who cracks his head
To seek knowledge
And sits supreme.
Fully secure.
It is Kshatrya
Who whips his ego
To seek power
And sits on the throne.
Fully in pride.
It is Vysya
Who stirs his desire
To seek wealth
And sits on the cushion.
Fully in comfort.
It is Sudhra
Who toils his limbs
To seek perfection
And wait for recognition.
Fully in satisfaction.
We lost many strains
In the process of revolt.

Bully’s Waterloo
Some day you will meet your Waterloo
Who's someone sick just like you,
Another with an inferior complex
Preying on the weak satisfying your vex,
Coercing your will with fear
Planning your ploy on someone’s son so dear,
The centre of your gang with babbling brains
Just to satisfy your twisted complex gains,
You start young always at any school
In life’s hindsight you are the cunning fool.
Just for all too fully understand you fully
You are the dumb cluck school bully,
What you don’t understand some time in life
In years ahead you may be in a life threatening strife,
Laid on an operating table under the surgeons skill
Who is the very schoolboy you made unhappy and ill,
We all need someone’s help in our life and expect
Thru our life servility freedom and respect,
The bully’s days are numbered now
U tube has shown us how.

Life Itself
"It is that life itself, fully awake, fully active,
fully aware that it is alive. It is spiritual wonder."
Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation
Dark rain penetrates
tender leaves, swell spirits, sparks
dormant roots to life.
Like a god, Your star
ascends; with wonder and grace
shines Your mighty face!

When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.

I Now Live 'Innocently
I now live innocently at your back door,
I now await the wonder that is us, to fully restore;
I now know fully, the forces which led me to this place-
Now, all my dreams are missing, is: the smile upon your face,
The melodious sound of your voice,
And the rest of your Angelic presence, near;
Neither one of us has been given a choice
In all the prescient circumstances which led here;
But, here we are anyway-closer to our dreams fulfilled;
It has never been in our hands, but by God, willed;
Never, in a lifetime of years, could I fathom what was done-
But, now I know a single Truth, and that is OUR love!
Deny, deny-all you like, but you only deceive yourself-
Once honest with me, and others-THEN only, may you believe yourself!

My Next Thirty Years
(track 12 - time 3:37)
(phil vassar)
I think Ill take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now its time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years
Hey my next thirty years Im gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things Ive done
Maybe now Ive conquered all my adolescent fears
And Ill do it better in my next thirty years
My next thirty years Im gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what Im doing here
In my next thirty years
Oh my next thirty years, Im gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe Ill remember my next thirty years
My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years
In my next thirty years
