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.

This is an interesting concept. I actually had to think about it for a moment. Nicely done!

Three lines revolving around humanity's endless one... superbly written - as always, Rick.

and more eggs will come, and more children will be...and all the way to infinity, we will mirror ourselves over and over again.

nicely done.
