Greetings Wayfarers and Fellow Travelers.
Welcome to The Luminous Procession, a poetic focus launched in earnest on the Lunar New Year 2026 (Year of the Fire Horse in East Asian tradition).
What is The Luminous Procession?
As with many things in my creative and spiritual life, the initial vision and eventual manifestation of anything I create is often inspired by a dream. The Luminous Procession is no exception.
For brevity’s sake, I will simply say that The Luminous Procession is an online “honden” (sanctuary) for poetry, reflection, perhaps even — at times — just a place to sit, to bask in the vibrations that pour forth from this humble corner of the Cosmos; a way to “wash off” a bit of the “red dust” of the world; a moment of solace in these times through which we are all living and navigating. / Frank Inzan Owen
