> Dearest "B": A provender of sponges? Or tasty juices? You
do have epicurian taste for life, I commend you! As I read
the intrepretive essay, then the poems I am amazed at how
you accumulate material for your refined poem. If this in
fact what you are doing?
There is much detail at first and then condensed
abstraction or fusion(?)of the work.
Yes, there is some real intelligence here in your many
specific insights on life as "A Sponge". If you conpared
yourself to a summer day, or a rose, but you chose a
sponge. Much analyses of this choice in an analytic "object
d'art" means you are deeply aware of your station in life
and how you fit into the "big picture". You do like to
"suck it up" and "take it all in". This is good, and this
should not be thwarted, go with the good "flow"; take it
in.
You should not feel guilty or feel that you are greedy
because you "zest" for life.
that this is your compartment, "sponge-life" is not so bad.
It seems to me that you have the ability to adaptogen.
There is this need and then there is obsession. The scent
of greed is this "oink oink" intuitive feeling you get when
"it really is as good as it gets" and you want more. Why is
that? What is wrong with Everest? Not high enough? Need a
big, better high? Isn't that the nature of man? You have
learned to hone in that beast, and create a vanishing point
to all that is, that that is it, but there is more, if you
look from another perspective, or as you say, see through
another's eyes.
Sometimes a necessary line must be drawn. I am not sure if
sponges know when to stop sponging or being a sponge.
Personally, I think you are aware of this need within to
"take it all in" to "experience the most life has to
offer". I think we all struggle with this fine, nail tooth,
comb aspect and we must seive or "weed out" the need from
the greed, or the want from the need. Essential self can be
arrived at through "no-ing oneself" as in the Zen buddist
tradition. Or like the Feng Shui lifestyle of less is best.
By the way, I happened upon this URL when looking up
"provender" (love that word). Here it is;

my first love of my life(I have a thing for Drummers)
because of you. I think he is also from your neck of the
woods. ps Do you have a lot of success with publishing your
poetry and how? Thanks for this enlightenment sponge. ps
you dont go by "Bob" (aka "Sponge" Bob)...(another joke for
the morale)...love your poems Bruce! Keep on keeping on
(and trucking too!):)I am one of your sponges as I sponge
up your work...very addictive...(am I getting greedy?):)
7:35 pm and the sun has such an usual slant I feel I am
living on another planet...it's cool! The sun has
definitely moved around a lot! wow! hump day was always my
lucky day!cause i get lucky (sick joke, sorry)!:)
the heart of darkness means we are hollow as well as
whole...we must come to terms that negative exists, and the
change is in living through it, like pain we llive through
it, experience all the pain as in Primal Therapy, Arthur
Janov and then we can say to that wall; "is that all you
got?" we are not always floating on marshmallow clouds now
are we? As Wayne Dyer would say "Get Real"! Spiritual
warriors cannot sugarcoat reality and make it all better.

Howard Breen observes big-business, pro-development
Campbell Liberals are entering the campaign as friends of
farm salmon and champions of unregulated deforestation,
excessive port expansion combustion of fossil fuels and oil
and gas development CO2 emissions – the latter have all
been linked to runaway climate change and the end of life

However Campbell slurs it, he hasn't and won't shatter any
progressive stereotypes. His undeniably significant
corporate donors will always keep him in a political
straitjacket. And the truth will always stand in stark
contrast to his campaign pr fictions.
