"I believed I wanted to be a poet, but deep down, I just wanted to be a poem." 

                                                           -Jaime Gil de Biedma​







​Recently, Francis was invited to present a talk at the C.G. Jung Institute in San Francisco. It was a rich exploration on "An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life."

Is my soul asleep?
Have those beehives that labor
at night stopped? And the water-
wheel of thought,
is it dry, the cups empty,
wheeling, carrying only shadows?


No, my soul is not asleep,
It is awake, wide awake.
It neither sleeps nor dreams, but watches,
its clear eyes open,
far-off things, and listens
at the shores of the great silence.


                                  -Antonio Machado
