[I saw myself]

I saw myself
a ring of bone
in the clear stream
of all of it

and vowed
always to be open to it
that all of it
might flow through

and then heard
"ring of bone" where
ring is what a

bell does

-Lew Welch

Reading "Whole Earth Discipline" right now, and pulled this poem from there. I'll also point you toward this link. The book is interesting--I have mixed feelings, but it offers a lot of food for thought.
