Parting Rain
each essential
to be a partial whole-
ness & dismiss
the seasonal
allegory
the universe
is so-smally wed
in you / with you
and it is nothing
but a delayed
n-e-w-s
we know that
don’t we?
and
parting rain
whets
my desire
to be
& to be
wet
with you
in this dry
season
and
why not
step out
the leaky shed
& be rained
upon & sing
your own

I am confused why "love takes more than one heart/mind...."?
LTG 发表评论于
"......I do see a lot of people are burned and lost their mind when "in Love"...
that means they are not loving, but "laboring/slaving/making a full time job out of it"....pity on them!!!!
one cannot "make" love happen....one can make "success" or "war" happen ...
love takes more than one heart/mind....
love is an art more than a "work"....
when there's too much expectation, there will be less love...
love should burn like the fire in the fireplace in winter, not the fire caused by earth quake :))
talking about Love is too easy.....but it helps us take it seriously....

Good point! "why do we have to be "burnt" when in love??"
The matter of fact is that I do see a lot of people are burned and lost their mind when "in Love". what are the factors that determined that some are burned and some are not? I really need to ponder about it more.
Thanks for your response and patient.:)

:)) Hi, LTG: As I told you before, sometimes I could be very "bad" and say something to "piss off" the others. I actualy didn't mean that you really thinks so..:)) For two years we have been knowing each other, at least I know something about you that will not make me to draw this conclusion. If, I do, I won't even mention about it! :))

"btw. Oh, forget to ask LTG, How to prevent being burned into ashes when one loves with all his/her heart and soul? Can one be madly in love while still stay rational?"
why do we have to be "burnt" when in love??
why can't we become more healthier, happier, sexier, more attractive when in love???
:))
if, and only if, one is truly in love [with another person, a place, a career, an art, Life, etc...], one's life should be enriched and enhanced and enlightened.....that is true Love as far as i see it....
"rational" is another problem....
according to what standard we measure something/behavior as "rational/irrational??"
a tip for shui-di:
sit quietly with your favorite poem/poems, and read it and read it and read it and read it until tears drop....
:))
the reason?
that happens to me many many times...:)

水滴,
what you said is also true... but i am not suggesting that "i" can love my "enemy"....i try....that is all....
like writing and reading poetry, i never expect magic will happen....no.... but i write and write and write....that's all there is to it
:)
i have never meant to suggest that you have less artistic quality or capacity to love....no.....sorry if i made any unclear comments...:)
everyone who participated these discussions have shown incredible concern and talent regarding Life/Love?Meaning, etc....

AAAB: You are right, loss is something we need to deal with through out our life. So try LTG's way, LOVE with all your heart when you have chance. I guess, you will feel more fulfilled than you never loved and never tasted the pain of lose...
btw. Oh, forget to ask LTG, How to prevent being burned into ashes when one loves with all his/her heart and soul? Can one be madly in love while still stay rational?
hehe, hope you don't mind that recently I am quite noisy...:))

"...想着世事的难测，和虚拟世界的不稳定性，怕这里会突然消失，无影无踪，什么也不留....."
everything, i mean EVERYthing, will "突然消失，无影无踪，什么也不留....."
that is fact....
knowing the "facts" and understand them make us strong/peaceful so that we can enjoy this short but beautiful life....
another method:
if we fear something will disappear, we should do something to keep it grow and healthy, right? :)

:)) LTG: you guessed that a person like me who is not artistic will be dissappointed by your anwser,right? Maybe I have less capacity to love than a poet.:))))
Unconditional love is very hard to achieve. Congratulation to you if you can truelly love your enemy! You know, only very few parents can unconditionally love their children. I don't know how many can unconditionally love their enemy. But there was and is and will be people who can achieve this! Solute from RC!
In stead of self-soothing, people can self-stimilating. Imaginary cake is used to comfort us, fear is used to make us uneased (Huang Huang Bu Ke Zhong ri).
According to LTG: people can choose not to fear. My question is how one can be empowered to chose not to fear? What is the best way to help ourselve to overcome the real fear?
LTG 发表评论于
yes, AAAB,
feelings of "insecure" has a lot to do with the outside world, which puts pressure on people (so that our "civilization would move forward" :)
by saying "having individual choices," i mean that we can create fears as well as love/beauty/gratefulness, etc...
why waste time creating fears while there is potential in every and each one of us the ability to create Love/beauty/gratefulness, etc...??
hope i could fortunately meet a pretty woman walking in the rain and singing the nameless songs
parting rain
whets
my desire
to be
& to be
wet
with you

I can't interpret much of the abstract meaning here. But I can share a concrete experience..:)
One of my favorate pleasure is walking along a hiking trail in my neighborhood under a raining sky, alone, singing along the way and let myself soaked in the rain. I love rain for whatever the reason.
Next time whenyou see a silly woman walking in the rain and singing the nameless songs, that could be me..:))

Like the paint, this piece is too abstract for me. Try to understand and my thoughts start to jump..:))
