Imagination
Kris Kringle teaches Suzie
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

Inspiration
Idea glowing in head
for a new discovery

Illumination
Mind transcending time
for enlightened sage


The Letter I:
Imagination, Inspiration, Illumination


Ideal image— imagination,
inspiration, illumination—
Artificial Intelligence is no
match against illumined initiate.

Isis— immortal, invincible,
with Ibis bird, symbol of the soul;
Iris— messenger of the gods,
the Rainbow with water for clouds.

Invited to Innverness Inn
by Ibn Arabi and Iamblichus
sharing ideas & inner insights,
instructing me on intuition.

Immense interest in Illuminati's
initiations of the Freemasons,
impossible indeed to inquire
insider's secrets for inclusion.

Iliad's itinerary— Ithaca.
I'm going to India for inward
instructions— exhale illusions and
inhale our true immeasurable Self.

Impressed by inventions of Ibsen
and Inesco's plays, paintings of
Ingres, George Inness, Charles Ives,
works of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

No iceberg, bring ice cream instead
to eat inside an igloo in Iceland
with ignorant idiot whose immense
information is incredible—

Indigo is a rainbow color,
Icosahedron, a Platonic Solid,
Iron, Iodine, Iridium are elements,
inflamed Icarus fell from the sky.

But the intellect needs to immerse
itself in something irrational—
invisible and ineffable world
of the Spirit that is infinite.
