J L Carey Jr
Feeling one, one sensing one, one seeing the
Manifestation of higher consciousness,
A vessel aware, afloat, moored in the gray
I calculate, I roll with waves, the current,
The living pulse of Universe below me,
The cosmic ocean open and limitless
-For me. For any sojourner so willing
To heave the ropes, traverse the rocky channel,
To set this one soul, this one vessel a sail,
The anchors away, the sea infinite, pure,
Free, this embryonic one, one spirit free.

    It's a shame the comments don't show the time of the post anymore. It's curious as to what time the newer posts would show being all the earliest post showed 11 in them no matter what time they actually posted.

    Wonder why all of the posts say they took place at 11 minutes on the hour? My clock says it's 4:36pm. Interesting.

    Nice. Great imagery here.

    Profoundly true! What a pleasure to read, J L! It's going to stick in my mind for quite some time...I might even have to return to comment more.

    If my post indeed captures another 11minutes past whatever I will gawk in awe the at least 12 past the hour. What a great read, our body is our vessel and the ocean we sail indeed in many ways never ending.

    Nora raises a good point. All of our posts show 11 minutes.
