You know when your hair is on fire: The questions that keep you up
all night, the failures and mistakes that make of your life a fiery
swampland that you never seem to get beyond, and that whatever you
think, do, and create only further engulfs you in flames with no
end in sight. Desperate for the light, you cannot see what is in
front of you. The desperation of your wounds alert you that you
must work your way through the healing that is in the wound. But
what if you are one of those people who do not realize or refuse to
see that your hair is on fire. You are born with your hair of fire.
You fear to look for you are terrified that no one has ever or can
ever ameliorate the suffering, grief, and agony that continuously
throws fuel on the fire. This is so, even when you believe you are
throwing water on the fire in the form of denial, spiritual
shopping, or wrestling with an unappeasable soul whose voice will
not leave you alone and whose relentlessness is, you think, part of
the problem. You do not understand its language nor what it is
trying to tell you because it is telling you that what you are
doing is not working and that the truths you have lived are lies.
You must listen to the voices for they originate in fire, and they
are trying to tell you that your hair is on fire. You must
acknowledge them and it in order to change your living. Change into
the worth and value of what they and you are that you discover in
your conversation with them. You must make live what is truly alive
in you and give it life as the world. This is background to the
poems in "Hair on Fire." Each poem burns in these long inflammatory
issues. Many of them use the light of the fire to see what is
blocking insight and what is beyond into ways of work with the
fires of desires to lessen the suffering, wound, grief, and agony
of each and every one of us. The poems immerse you in fire to make
you aware of our condition and state. They experiment and
investigate the state of our predicament. Many of the themes may
appear to deal on matters of life and death, but these matters
bring to light of white heat through coldest of light controversies
and conflicts of the nature of the self, war, chaos, impermanence,
and consciousness as well as the ineffable feeling and presence
that we are all living the same living being as everyone and
everything in the cosmos. "Hair on Fire" throws light on what one
poet has garnered from the treasure of thousands of years of human
experience and suffering, filtering his gleaning through his unique
and common experience of desire, fire, and how begin to live not
consumed by them but with a reciprocal love and discrimination that
encompasses the world we live in every moment of our lives that
enlarges everyone we meet, seeing our reflection in others eyes
because they it is their reflection of our eyes, no different from
one another yet enormously not the same.
