Purpose

I can experience nothing
But my own karma, it is true —
Unless I have taken some karma
On for every one of you

Unless I exist as a symbol
Of something we’ve nearly forgot
Which may be lent, but not borrowed
Given away — never bought,

Unless upon the perimeter
Our evolving vision of
I stand for genuinely
Unconditional truth and love

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S, or choose to send a personal check to the poet’s ABLE account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
