Cavern: 'To the Queen's Chamber' Poem, Green Tortoise, Harbin "Walk In" Pass
I found a poem which a French friend and I wrote at Carlsbad Caverns on a Green Tortoise trip in around 1995.
To the Queen's Chamber
We walked down, down into the earth.
The hole invited us, the dark surrounded us.
Hush.
C'est alors que le monde obscur que l'on croit endormi
s'est éveillé peu à peu sous nos pas.
{Then this dark world, seemingly asleep,
little by little woke up under our steps}.
Vast ceilings, moist world,
haunted, enchanted,
stalactite invite, stalagmite unite,
top and bottom merge
in the space underground.
Le silence n'est pas silence
son cristallin des gouttes d'eau
la roche millénaire respire ou pleure doucement.
{Silence is not silence
The crystallized sound of dripping water,
which stokes ancient breath,
or perhaps they cry softly}.
This cave, a sponge, collapsing from the inside
to create space, and silence, which sings internally,
absorbs water, makes shapes, lives, breathes.
We walked down into the living, breathing earth
and saw beauty.
We drank it in.

And I also found today a Harbin Hot Springs holistic retreat pass, from 1995, which I've scanned and posted here:

Found a pretty poem I had written with Guillemette Renault, a French friend with whom I took a Green Tortoise trip together in around 1995, in visiting Carlsbad Caverns in southern New Mexico, - and then went to Paris to spend Xmas with her for about 5 weeks - after some pictures of caverns popped up in Google Photos (maybe from this 1994 or 1995 trip actually, but dated 2004 ... so am not sure of date of pics) ... WHICH INSPIRED ME TO FIND THIS POEM IN ONE OF MY 4 BOOKS OF POETRY, on PAPER, ... but couldn't find it ... so it will eventually come out in my "Scott GK MacLeod's Collected Poems 2008 - " book ... This poem "To the Queen's Chamber" has some French language in it, and, finding the poem in a blog post from 2008, I created some Twitter posts about this poem and the Green Tortoise, and the Harbin Walk-In pass in the blog post (but first guessing that it was in my "Winding Road Rainbow" poetry book) so am creating some new Tweets about this re Collected Poems ... so glad I wrote these 4 books of poetry and with many poems about Harbin, about the Rainbow Gathering, about loving bliss elicitation, about traveling ... and here's one of the erroneous Tweets - "Cavern: 'To the Queen's Chamber' Poem, Green Tortoise, Harbin "Walk In" Pass~I found a poem which a French friend & I wrote @ Carlsbad Caverns on Green Tortoise trip in 1995

Bagpiping and music-making into the millennia ahead with aging reversal and longevity genetic drug therapies emerging, and even regarding the value of continuing to bagpipe possibly into the centuries ahead, also regarding playing a musical instrument, as one of the best things there is to do ...
Bruce,
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
One of the most beloved lines from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy is this bit of wisdom, imparted from the wizard Gandalf to the young hobbit Frodo. In the first book, 1954’s “The Fellowship of the Ring,” Frodo inherits a cursed ring and realizes he must take a frightening journey to destroy it. After confiding to Gandalf that he wishes the task had fallen to someone else, the wizard reminds Frodo that no one gets to dictate what challenges they face. Rather than lamenting unavoidable hardships, time is better spent focusing on the choices within our control, and making our time on Earth (or Middle-Earth) meaningful.
