Dear Rick,

Your poem truly is a powerful parcel of Zen wisdom, in a wonderful representation of the Haiku form. Mixing Zen with Haiku is the perfect marriage of philosophy and poetic form. I especially liked your line "Children of Infinity." You have really crafted a moving depiction of the creation of life with this poem. Beautifully written, my friend.

A short story for you: I remember my mother hard boiling and peeling an egg like this after we were finished using it for an Easter Egg Hunt. I also remember her quartering peppers one Sunday, and finding a perfectly formed miniature within the larger pepper.
