Do You Hear Eric Hoffer’s Heartsong?


Do You Hear Eric Hoffer’s Heartsong?


            1.   If you’re not familiar with Eric Hoffer, one of our national
                  treasures, Google, check him out on Wikipedia.

            2.   What he does for us here, without any formal education,
                  is translate, interpret, paint, and sing from his large
                  heart.

            3.   Have you seen a field of summer wheat at a red sundown as a
                  sea of fire that enlarges and fills your being.
           
            4.   Have you scooped your hand under the Statue of Liberty
                  and lifted it arm’s length as she lifts the torch?

            5.   Have you shrunk yourself and ridden the wings of the
                  hummingbird, dipping with her to the marigold just
                  before noon?.

            6.   What beckons you when you wake to the mourning
                  dove? When you hear the call, where do you go?

            7.   Tell me, how do the flute and player become one?






Frame

A
longshoreman
on the
San Francisco
docks
says
the frame
of the
glassless
window
in his
tool shed
presents
a portrait
each day
that rivals
the finest
galleries
of the
world.
