More Contemplations on odu Ifa Ogunda Irete

Be careful
Not to loose yourself
In an ideological fog of your
Own making
Shake out your rigid mind
Free yourself from the shackles of knowledge
Drink the wine of intuition
Until so drunk you stumble into
Truth

New review of my book "This poem called life"

So excited to have received these beautiful words about my book from a dear friend:

"The deep and endless wisdom of Ifa has shaped and inspired the beautifully thoughtful words of the poet Marcos Sanchez. May they guide us on our life’s journey….ASHE/ACHE/AXE! "
Evjue-Bascom Professor of Art History, University of Wisconsin-Madison

contemplation on the Odu Otura Owonrin (otura alaketu)

When night has fallen
And you have lost your way
Embrace your fears and
You will see that
Once the clouds have parted
Only the darkness of night
Can reveal the wondrous beauty of the
Vast universe that surrounds us
