   Holmes  homey

                    Yup Metaphysical Club – pg61

In the dedication to the task at hand, human beings make, by their deeds, tracks in the wilderness. The wilderness itself is trackless.

                                Louis Menand 

Holmes on the other hand

                             a sonnet  in memory of his ardent friend Henry Abbot  killed 6May 1864

He steered unquestioning nor turning back

Into the darkness and unknown sea;

He vanished in the starless night, and we

Saw but the shining of his luminous wake.

Thou sawest light, but ah, our sky seemed black,

All too hard the inscrutable decree,

Yet, noble heart, full soon we follow thee

Lit by the deeds that flamed along thy track.

   the wilderness maybe trackless

                                     his arms werent ambidextrous

didnt hide them under sleeves

                                 wouldnt

anymore than he hid his scars  plenty

anymore than someone would hide their tattoos

there for some purpose

                         ask him

he asked people about their tattoos

                                      some coherent  thematic

others mishmash  random

                              those seemed to speak outwardly of what occurred inwardly

stigmata

   his tracks

                accesses  entryways  portals he chuckled

doors of perception

“Education is very important. Education is a power for women. And that’s why the terrorists (Taliban – felons administration – https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p7Bnl_j11l8) are afraid of education, they do not want women to get education because women will become more powerful.”

   Holmes a variety of intellectual pursuits that helped broadened his mind unlike those who parceled honed perfected their pursuits to become experts

                                                      their “genius”

had no place in his life for geniuses

                                        theyre not compelled look either left or right up down turn in circles  they Know

   that was worth the risks he took

fortunately

               he returned from every trip
