In a lifetime of more than 84 years, meeting the Mother at the age of 23 and then Sri Aurobindo two years later in one of my life's most extraordinary moments in the subtle physical, experiences that Mother confirmed as true. This subtle physical realm is His and Mother's natural realm at this time, preparing the Supramental bodies. All these poems are a gift of Their Grace and Power and Love but they are also indications of my challenges and intransigence, yet coming down through His Grace. I am only the scribe or, it may be said, the recipient.

I offer these poems in humility and gratitude to Sri Aurobindo and Mother, knowing that at times my receptivity is lacking, but offer them I must for it is only through Them that I can do anything.

Then too, I offer them also to all who love poetry and ask everyone's forbearance due to my times of inadequate receptivity or the interference of the physical mind.
