The Conversation

How many ways to connect with something greater than self
William James tried to count them, Joseph Campbell too
Norway has discovered over 400 varieties of snow 
Hawaii more than 200 for rain 
Awa kuaw lillinoe sny sludd fonn 
Down at the Transcendental Club
They’re up to 500 for light
To join, you don’t need any special connections, just one
You can’t find it on a map
There are no walls or roofs
Just figures in a Magritte painting
Floating in space
Calling you.
