Arrrrrggghh! I see I’ve already posted this. Don’t know what to do about it but try harder next time to pay attention to what I’m doing…
On my bookshelf you can see
my inner self revealed to thee.
Maybe Hen’s Teeth and Horse’s Toes
won’t go far to show you me,
but Frames of Mind should give a hint
of where my time is largely spent.
Crack in the Cosmic Egg is from
an elderly college alum
who still values Games People Play
and Alan Watts any old day.a
User Illusion blew my mind
also Denial of Death in its kind,
and I include for brilliance
the author of Concilience.
Sheldon Kopp told me what to do
if Buddha I should run into,
while The Dream and the Underworld
gave me frights, sanity a whirl.
And here’s an old one we all knew
none other than Miss Nancy Drew.
So now you know me stem to stern.
What can I expect from you in turn?
I remember the book, “Crack in the Cosmic Egg”, as an undergraduate long ago. I think I even tried to read some of it, but I was young and I lost the book over the years. We share at least one book in common.

This is not my original copy, but I felt a yearning for it when I came across it, second hand recently. I think of books I like as good friends. And I quote from them at times, so I tend to hang onto them. Some people’s “transitional objects” were blankets. I think mine were books, although my daughter now has Heidi, Wizard of Oz, Chatterbox, Alice in Wonderland and Freddy the [pig] Detective–which I think was only a library book.Thanks for sharing that part of you.
