The Day Barque is a review of poetry, prose and works of art exploring the age-old quest for the divinity within. It focuses on the moment-to-moment struggle to connect with that which is timeless and eternal while being bound by time in an earthly body.
To be published bi-annually by the Apollo Poetry Society in the foothills of Northern California, The Day Barque contains poems, stories, paintings, drawings, and other works of arts from contributors worldwide, all of whom are actively involved in the effort of being present, also known as self-remembering, mindfulness, self-inquiry, prayer of the heart, and know thyself, among many other names.
Our central theme--the journey of the seeker to awaken from sleep--is that at the heart of all the world's great traditions, including Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Sufi, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Stoic, Platonic, Non-Dualist, the Fourth Way, as well as the principal subject of the world's epics, myths and fairy tales. In this first issue (Volume 1, Number 1), we feature contributions from poets, writers, and artists from Rome, Athens, Moscow, Istanbul, London, Prague, Ahmedabad, Cairo, and Apollo, California.
Here is a poem by John Craig from this issue:
ONCE ONE KNOWS WHY
Once one knows why one is here in an earthsuit respiring;
once one has loosened the husk of identity and moves
around in it without fear of death or loss or failure;
once one has gotten out of one's own way, stopped impeding
all in one that desires nothing but to return to God;
then one's moments left on earth, whether one or many more,
are a sweet suffering, a stone's welcome to the bright stream
wearing it smooth, smoother, featureless, dissolved, gone to God.
