Bill Kelly (Omak ‘69 -71)
Yeah, I was there ’69 – ’71.
I went to teach but was taught:
how to play
when to be silent
innocent curiosity
radical simplicity
unflinching fairness
true fatigue
what to watch for
excitement of exploration
ridiculous optimism.
I was reunited with what had been
educated out of me by degrees:
my original spirit.
My passion released
burned away insulation
ruined me for sure, and
reunioned me with Life.
