"I've known rivers...my soul has grown deep like the rivers."* Langston Hughes
selah river is a writing website
of Daniel Eugene Wilcox, a poet,
writer, and general kickabout traveler of the world and the mind.
In this wide, deep stream of Living, in our inner lives,
powerful poetic lines--
ones of discernment, justice, empathy, and mercy--
seek to counter the sorrow, harshness, and angst
that claim our present time,
and so many yesterdays,
and uncertain tomorrows to come.
We live into becoming briefly, then river away.
Journey through the wide swim
of human consciousness and its many tributaries.
Yes, travel rivers of the world
and rivers of the soul
and rivers of the mind.
Selah.

growing up fundamentalist Baptist, all that rollicking rock crazy Oz of the 60's, and Life itself.
