Disclaimer:This is longish, generaly written to please myself, and no reason not to, as I suppose no one will bother reading a longish piece
unless they want to.

For years I've spent a large daily amount of time writing, and other than some poetry, gone far out of my way to insure no one can read more than two or three pages at a time of any one piece. So maybe the rock hunters quest is for self navigating, concordence, seeing self clearly enough to understand when and how not to sabotage aims. (writer's search is a Marley dog chasin his own tail)

G u e s s, may be I'm ready to add a few touches to this one. - Fractal
de about a Rock Hunter. She travels, hikes, swims, journeys,
searches, travels, improvises- for discovery which she assumes is attainment- doesn't question much about obtainment, as to distinct from discovery or attainment. She is a rock HOUND, body and soul quester~

Digression:
As I once "caught, or came to, realised" few yrs ago I'd climed a small mountain or large hill, carefully because
(-as a mother it is imperative my child retain her major asset,lol- oh by the way my cputer is adding hundreds of random dashes tonight, humph)- carefully I small mtn climbed in search of strange birds and lovely rocks, or as I only expected: interesting vistas.
Went up on hands and knees, caught myself descending sharply hands filled, about 30 lbs. with large, medium, small rocks. It was a moment I laughed in complete one meant wondermeant at myself. (Oh also, I saw an indigo bunting, eagle, vultures, woodpecker. fini digress.)

Return To Poem Fractal: when writing this, I'd just finished the equivilent 1st time read of Fractal Geometry.
I say 1st time because I want, need to read it - more- to better understand, and because I read, especially when not literature, or unfamiliar middle browse, back to front , and all around 'till I've got the hang of it and then one or more times. I understood generaly fractal, and have always thought principles apply in muti dimensions. But at half price books I was excited to add to my loved series
"Introducing.." bytotem or Icon press- (Newton was my first "Introducing" hiliarious! my Physics prof pop loved, laughed when I at last got one to him) Introducing- sz dvd casr roughly, and yellow header, is cartoon illustrated and narrated. One must know their subject intimately to make exquistely polished humour of it , as tthese publishers do.
sooo, I was saying..Fractal Geometry! YAHOOH, YEHAW, YE- wll anyway whoopie euphoria! as my lack of knowlege of imperical matters,of sciences, of math, so eager but hard to build - but bigsmiles at last, bit by bits. I learn how to find my way, unlimited, in areas I didn't know enough of to ask the questions that chocked me. So fractal in poem is- see a small bit- is to see a big bit.
I had mensa friends all my adult yrs but never tested and applied, because I kept loosing application. But 14- 15 yrs ago when my daughter was - about three- I took the official so as to repair my self assurence after mean divorce, and passed by a tiny margin- but this was the hoot-
not even one math problem was answered and right! lol.
Fractal, security, insecurity
a great mind, for what? hunger to learn , a passion to give effectively some few ideas I've spent my life growing- a possible probable fool, no matter pretty and great cook losses some assurece with years yet gains more , possible
confidence etc.Patterns.
Certain of one thing- I am very enthusiastic about ideas and have endless newones popopop with importance of significance and wry, rye humour and delights- my brain and heart, life, is an ocean of parenthesis within parenthesis
(I have too many personal anecdotes concerning #'s)
Funny that next book was Gertrude Stein's " Making of Americans"- simply astounding, took 2 days to understand her language then couple days to grasp her idea- her point, and at last believe I would vomit if I had to be locked into another solid hour with her, but would never risk forgeting or aving a cpy nearby, avaible to remind.
Her point, in "Making of Americans" I see as we are all of us doing and doing again our own unique thing we do- epeats etc.
Very fractal, and possibly useful for me to find a way to quit making bead necklaces to give away or vacuming behind bookcases too often and anything but put togather the pages of stories already written so I could sayhere- I wrote this. done. I am not a helpless self deluded fool who says she writes but hasn't let anyone read anthing long since Lennon departed, with exceptions. Thats my pattern..
with exceptions, and to that. The goal of showing alternate travel routes to readers whilst they laugh and also sigh with comfortableness of Socratic memory lullabies.

Fractal

weary journeys repeat
rock quester
hunter turns her focus
return to island
tiny island in ancestral loch


the hill of it flirts hints
have long been buliding
a rock blue marble maybe
better than lake shore

she tumbles blue lace agates
bubbly quartz milky foam permenat
Gods gift scluptures scattered speculate
theoretical concrete states

Stone love combines small childs

full and simple glee unbound freely all
with the tools of knowledge and fuel of passions
the daylight of actual
the starlight of posssible
to find in hand a shape
or texture
a coour or pattern
hear what says
interesting
adds thoughts or feels or new walkways to you
additional features to your soul home

rocks teachers babies lobers friend neighbors choir
cohoorts oracle companions on the way- wonders
wonders left laying unseen so often

everything - many things- hide in plainest sight

and we can't adjust to knowing
if theirs a guide to get us where
we are going- it must be up to us..

quandry jumps with hammer
into the lake swims there now
barefoot island, small pine jungle
climbs atop the center hill rise
observes the split of granite's glint

persistance with aim hammers, sweats
cracks, gleams a great jewele of beauty's worth
clarity and shadowed twinks interplay
fine crystal geod vast-
larger than a hundred pumkin heads


the whole top of the hill it is, exposed
rock chips, flint, arroweeed daggers for her feet
she sees the trap she has carved, barefoot alone
to scale down steep sharp edge cuts of stone
and achieved happily her aimed target quest

can't own too big to carry home
her bloodied feet find the lake and to home
image of her work geods beauty uncovered gleams
face to face communes with bright grin sun

the hunter wonders at the quest
do becomes at best done
swims tries new words be, reneed respect for
the tides and natures turns
prhaps have told what she needs to know

the rock song calls still
part and part
with part and part
rock feel still with her
hunt done hunter goes on
crystal form revealed beneath pine
sun laughs new was there all the time
part of her with everything
part of stone now part in her
why arms streatch to cross the lake

why feet paddle cramp or smooth
purpose clear learn ever
purpose share to see where
spirits rocks forms see touch
each all one
beauty heared beneath
lakes silent shell
and brake through somehow to the surface
after all just for this, to watch
endless glints of spleandours in the beauty of meanings gleams
the quest of rock
.

I'm too tired to edit it now and since I don't want too losse it , I'll post as is and then edit be knee thhh.

I smoke outside and haha- wtf is etymology of eth beneath eath- hummmmmm

does get tooo having only self for refer ence
