[Critique Group 2] Leonard's comments on Brad's piece

[leonard tuchyner]

Brad sub for August 23



I believe this poem is about near death experiences or

other forms of experiencing

what lies beyond this life, or

what underlies it.

In any case these episodes are cherished.

Whether they are real or  illusion is opened for  debate.

We can’t be sure.

Nevertheless, these experiences seem real to us.

Yu ask what causes them.

Maybe it is a confluence of all the possibilities.

I totally agree.

Well written.





Is there a door in the

texture of the ordinary day?



May we osmos

through the rainbow membrane

into what lies beyond?



Many have tried and

many fewer have fully returned.

Is it a perilous or

reckless undertaking?



Or is it our raison d’etre?

Perhaps it is a question of timing?

Is it preparation that aligns

the singular molecular passage through?



Sometimes we catch a glimpse,

a window is thrown wide

and as we marvel

it vanishes in an instant.

Leaving us, in a state of

wonder and bewilderment.



Are such epiphany,

or dazzling illusion?

Whichever,

for many of us

they are invaluable treasures.



Drafts of the map, the lantern,

a yearning, a target.

A definitive purpose!



NOTE: “Raison D’etre” is an Anglicized form of the French term that
means “reason for being.” In French the first: [e] is modified by a
circumflex.
