I came upon a feast of lights 
spread speckle 'cross hill and vale, 
and reveled 
in their evening softnesses. 
And from Harbin's redwood, 
sleeping deck, below, 
I saw Gazebo's 
octagonal lights, 
on Mainside, - 
a tasty, illuminated pie, -  
ready to spin-off 
in a wee-wee :) 
psychedelic-whirligig, 
through starry cosmos, 
but, instead, 
centers this 
Harbin-light, 
beauty gaze, 
in winter, 
at night, 
from here. 
I walked in on that dark, 
empty, village path, at night. 
No one was around ... 
It would have been easy 
to stumble upon 
some jutting rock, 
but I didn't, 
and so came to this 
way-place 
of glimmering, 
night-light beauty, -
this redwood deck, 
which, so full in the day 
with resting, 
naked bodyminds, 
in solace-ease 
from stresses of modernities, 
gives forth these 
welcoming visions 
of la lumière. 
Heading now 
into the pool area, 
I bring this light 
show with, and in, 
my bodymind, 
to venture deeper 
into mysteries 
of aliveness, - 
naked, warm and free - 
in Harbin's watery warmth. 
Where are you now, 
my love, 
with whom this all to share, 
and rock out in with, 
all together? 
And, oh, what beautiful orchards 
of ripe, fruit, human living! ... 
Pools now, 
in warm-oneness-ease ... 
Heading on in now .... 
What delight this night, 
in this very warm pool! 
Why this particular, 
bodymind joy, 
this eve? 
Nothing special ... don't know ... 
Was it because I talked, 
and connected, 
with a smart, receptive friend, 
in words, about loving bliss, 
on the phone coming up? 
We thought outloud about 
this bliss-love: 
Ecstasy is MDMA, 
methylene dioxy meth amphetamine, - 
theoretically,  
a love-everything-in-the-world-intensely, 
for 5-8 hours, 
biochemical, bodymind, 
reference experience 
for 75% of we ingesters, - 
for affective euphoria, - 
and one, 
of so, so many, 
replicatable qualities of bliss, 
for we who are biological beings, - 
symbolizing, human primates, 
shaped by evolution 
by natural selection. 
And we talked further about 
Scottish Country Dancing, 
which we've done together, 
quite long ago, 
with bliss, 
via its ebullient 
series of tones, 
its music, movement, 
and sociable interactiveness. 
It's a related, also replicable - 
like technology, - example. 
Was it, too, the Ginseng tea, 
earlier today, of which 
I hadn't drunk in a while? 
Still, the weather of my bodymind 
hasn't yet found its 
cello bow strokes 
of loving bliss agency, 
of this music-making, 
here and now, 
when desired. 
And as I write, 
and while in concert hall, 
of this Harbin warm pool, - 
my bodymind, yes, 
is conducive to such bliss, 
yet, I haven't caused 
these joys. 
What can cause bodymind, 
loving bliss, whenever, but, 
especially, here now? 
I do, though, 
like this weather, 
here tonight, 
in winter, 
at Harbin.
