Late I Am, Blame it on Fate

Starting with Esther’s fun run.
https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/09/07/laughing-along-with-a-limerickHere’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is CHEW

Today, a poem. Good Timber, by Douglas Malloch.
-
precipitate
from the roil,
#daily #DailyPoem #dailyPoetry #dailyWriting #Poem #poems #poetry #read #reading #Writing
from the boil,
the slush of forgetfulness
frothing; the casting
vapor wafting off;
a hard and shining dust
in the bottom of the pan –
for now, not now, too hot to touch,
but when it cools –
when it cools –
we’ll learn what exactly
was drifting around in there. -
Poem: Stay Away Stay Away
Stay away stay away
Stay away, darkness around him
Darkness around you all, stay away
There's nothing fruitful in it
There's nothing wholesome in it
There's nothing shaking in it,
Waiting to come out
It's all a “white tomb” inside
And broods “of vipers”
It's all dust and death soStay away stay away

My Final Hurrah!
Just published on Amazon my 20th book (I hope this will be my last book) “Summa Iru: My Formal Renunciation and Farewell to the World“. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H87DDNRM)
Just a few hours back I published on Amazon another book “Advaita Vedanta through Name-and-Form Analysis”, which was written largely with the help of Claude. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H84F82HS)
About the Book: “Summa Iru: My Formal Renunciation and Farewell to the World“
“It is time I ended the ignorance in myself.”
With these words, a writer, poet, and lifelong student of Advaita Vedanta announces his formal withdrawal from the world — effective July 16, 2026, his 62nd birthday. Not a retreat from failure, nor a flight from grief, but the logical terminus of a life spent reading, thinking, debating, and writing about one thing: the ending of ignorance, which is the ending of the seeker himself.
Summa Iru is the author’s twentieth and, by its own declaration, final book — a parting document composed in the months before silence. It gathers the last poems (“Without Her By My Side,” “The Me Time,” “I The Stranger,” “The Last Act”), the last aphorisms (“Even God disappears when you are silent”), and the last philosophical exchanges of a man tying up loose ends before going incommunicado.
Between the poems runs a sustained meditation in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi and the Ashtavakra Gita: Why does psychoanalysis fail where self-enquiry succeeds? Why is renouncing desires mere symptom-treatment while the disease of ignorance festers? What did Ramana mean when he said the future is already fixed — and that the best course is to remain silent? How does summa iru — “just be still” — dissolve the questioner along with the question?
The book also records something rarer: the texture of leave-taking itself. Letters declined. Friendships gently closed. A reply to a friend asking for a small favour: “Sorry dear, I have retired from all work and all relationships.” The ache of unrequited love examined without flinching and traced back to its root — the unworthiness we feel sitting alone with ourselves, forever seeking the other who will transport us away from our own insignificance.
Drawing on Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, the Ashtavakra Gita, J. Krishnamurti, Buber, Kant, Camus, and the ghazal tradition, this is comparative philosophy written not from the armchair but from the departure gate.
For readers of Advaita Vedanta, spiritual memoir, and contemplative poetry — and for anyone who has wondered what it would actually take to stop.
The author will not be available for comment. That is rather the point.

@Remittancegirl Have you read the poem "Monólogo de la chacaloca"?
A friend (and sometimes Spanish teacher), just pointed me at it. Said she thought I'd like it (which I do). Powerful.
Un poema de Elvis Guerra – Circulo de Poesía https://circulodepoesia.com/2023/07/un-poema-de-elvis-guerra-2/
-
Not looking for love, I am love
looking for a way to express
My deepest self to my beloved.I feel good in caring
And sharing,
Perpetually encouraging
Our love to multiply
So together we may heal
Each other and all generations
Forwards and back
Until the world is clean and clear.Aloha no wau ia oe (I truly love you)

Poem time!
Six-Year-Old Theologian by Robert H. Deluty, from his collection The Matter of Families.
Six-Year-Old Theologian
Uncommonly solemn
He sadly concludes
There’s one thing
God simply can’t do –
