Linda pensive circa 2016

As a few of the poems included here attest, Linda just could not completely figure out how to synchronize her spiritual consciousness and existential realities of the life she lived. It left her hoping, waiting… Meanwhile, she pushed on with her learning, always.

Unconditioned (4/20/16)
Let me see what is unnoticed
Let me touch what is not there
Let me smell what has no fragrance
Let me savor what has no taste
Left me hear into the silence
Let me be… resonance

Hopeless and Hopeful
Empty shell…Life
Full of potential, memories of was
Endless choices, ended avenues
Waiting, patience, impatience, to unfold
