David Lester Young, aka Ben Franklin is known as a “heartmospheric” poet, a poet from and for the heart in words and life. Speaking and being in the presence of David could be described as a sort of Zen, and truly, I was tempted to title this episode “Zen for the aspiring writer.” A true observer and poet of nature and humankind, David’s art is something to be experienced. I can promise you a couple of a few things in this episode—my reflection on David’s inspiring spirit and words but unfortunately, not David himself. Ah, the woes of technology got me this time. The original recording was never captured, for reasons too trivial to explain. I do promise, though, the poetry is worth the listen.

A word about David: Orchestrate Earthen, bare harmonics, amongst heaven’s divine melodies. Bearhug in-between a chorus of souls, amidst – Universal Understanding Peace – Whisper ring “Peace Be With You.”

Each day poetry takes stepping stone steps to ponder amid rhyme.
