    O My Stars by Stewart StaffordSweet stars of my youthI have aged, but you have notAs a child, you were the wondrous dreams I aspired toIn later life, you were still so bitterly distantYet always mesmeric in your beautyWith awe and gratitude for your companionshipIf there is another side, you shall be the celestial shore I walk uponWith earthly depths beneathWhere others see and dream and reach up for you. © Stewart Stafford, 2020.

Here we have a passage that designates the phenomenological direction I myself pursue. The exterior spectacle helps intimate grandeur unfold.
