Dear List members. My apologies. The following poem has nothing to do with PD. I wrote it in response to the sad events at Columbine high school. I am moved to post it after reading the forwarded message "A father speaks " Dennis. Peace Look into the heart of the rose; complexity folds upon complexity; layer after layer the perfect petals hold more layers of perfect petals. Look into the heart of the rose, and know that when complexity unfolds it will reveal the simplicity of the petal. Look into the heart of a man; Complexity folds upon complexity layer after layer of mundane thinking hides the thoughts which lit the lives of Beethoven, Mohammed, da Vinci. Mother Theresa and Einstein shine at the core of human experience. Look again at the heart of the man Complexity folds upon complexity; layer after layer of reasoned thinking hides the thoughts which lit the fires of Hiroshima, Auschwitz and Dresden. Port Arthur and Lockerbie burn at the core of human experience. Look into the heart of "Peace". On every petal colour flows; yellow to white to pink (all that is left of rose); and who can show where yellow ends and pink or white begins. Look into the heart of peace and know; the simplicity of petals is illusion.
