the Cave

"God knows there's a heaven
God knows its out of sight
God knows we can get there even if we got to crawl a million miles by candlelight..."

Bob Dylan

it was out under a cliff one day
that I learned a lesson.

From out of no where arose a thunder storm from hell that threatened my very existence.

Grandpa sought and found shelter under the highest, but briefest cliff you ever saw.

The thunder and rain swelled up from the very ground, the lightening crashed loud on every side.

Only minutes and it was gone. I didn't even feel foolish, not one little bit, even if the calm clear blue sky now mocked my fears. I knew what I'd seen and what I'd felt, and it was all right by me, man. Grandpa could ask me to tell that story time and again, and I'd just do it. Sometimes your pride is swallowed up by your gratitude.

That night, I dreamed a big cave opened up for me. Or rather, a small opening opened up into a surprisingly big cave. At the far end, I thought I found a treasure, no, when I touched it, or thought I would, it opened up into another, darker cave. But at the far end, a brighter treasure, a precious archaeological, anthropological mother lode. I can see it still...

the cave of damascus, purple velvet and all, and it jangled in my mind, like indian artifacts of an old chieftain washed smooth in the river bed

Some times candles look brighter in the dark...

"On the rising curve
You can test the strength of every nerve
You don't get anything you don't deserve
Where we were born in time"

Bob Dylan, both lyric fragments from the "Under the Red Sky" album. Worth listening to. A little out of date, OK, but have you heard the news????
