A Fellow Sage: John O'Hagan

IS THIS WHERE WE MEET?

Much of the water in the universe is

produced as a byproduct of star formation.

The Mediterranean palm,

The child,

The universe;

This then is where we meet,

In these drops of water,

These tears.

John O'Hagan

Footnote:

   This is the first of, I hope, a series of guest posts from the readers of this blog...my fellow sages around the world.  You can send me your photograph along with a reflection, haiku or poem to UpcloseandFaraway@hotmail.com.  I will publish them so others can share in the wisdom you have gathered through your contemplative photography. 

   The meaning of life is

to find your gift.

The purpose of life is

to give it away.

- William Shakespeare
