How we are different

You can't fly.  You still want to flee.  We may have different playgrounds but the Earth is for both of us.  Why do you continue to seek, to create when the origin is everywhere?

 

I've walked this way

I've walked this way

I've seen much

Yet I will see more

for I choose

not to walk by.

Together yet not

Together yet not
yet of the same
Marking space
It's superficial.

A bond, a link

 A bond, a link,
There's no ugliness,
Oneness is also separateness.

I stand on beauty

I stand on beauty
ageing beauty,
Of wisdom only
honesty understands.

Hush, for

Bird tale:
Hush, for 
this song, this tune
this melody,
that I grasp not
but is forever imprinted.

Vibrancy of love

The many stances of love

"Do anything ...."

Do anything, but let it produce joy.

Walt Whitman

"My God, a moment of bliss ...."

“My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a whole lifetime?”

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “White Nights”

"The sky is clear ...."

The sky is clear, the air is pure …. We raise our heads in admiration: how immense the universe is!  We look down and notice: how abundant all things are!

Wang Xizhi

"We ought to view ourselves ...."

We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe.

“...for whether we want to or not, we belong to our time and we share in its opinions, its feelings, even its delusions.”

Henri Matisse
