Reaction

Return to roost

React spontaneously, thoughtfully - define the truth, the self. 

Not-doing

[One who] is going to desire to take the empire and to make it.

I see him not obtain it;

that is all.

The empire [is] a divine vessel.

Not can it be made, indeed.

[Who] makes it, the one, mars it.

[Who] takes hold of it, the one loses it.

Therefore of beings some go on, others follow,

some breathe warmly, others breathe coldly,

some [are] strong, others [are] weak,

some succeed [are filled with a cargo] others succumb [come out vanquished].

Therefore the holy man abandons pleasures abandons extravagance, abandons indulgence.

Keeping at rest the people

"Keeping at rest the people"

Act, manage without trickery, favouritism; take care of basics.

beauty of sense

and we were

one of many

and we were

more, and more

and we were

and we now are

one, and more

 

Know not how to sing

Know not how to sing

Know not how to cry

Learning to learn

new tunes and notes

in time after.

 

Do you see what I see

 

When nature beckons, go!

Alone

Alone
but not alone,
Merely moments,
moments lost in self.

 

Bird tale

Bird tale:
Change
Why change

Change
to a newness,
Let it be beautiful.

 

"How happy is the blameless ...."

“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”

Alexander Pope
