When poet Donald Hall met with sculptor Henry Moore, he dared to ask if Moore believed that there was a secret to life. The response astonishes: "The secret of life," Moore answered without flinching, "is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is - it must be something you cannot possibly do."


Soror mystica

Conceiving of a form
That’s greater than the self
Extended tangent to the metaphor of life
The dance
For in the image left to self but holds the motionless

The force of spiral dynamics creates
Kether to Malkuth
Malkuth to Kether
Lovers in the round
And all the paths that lead
To fruition
The frail stem
Blue apples on a single tree
Fruit of the vine
