Slowly I Open My Eyes in the Rain
I can hear you now
walking gingerly
among the nameless
trees of autumn
touching the wet
leaves of memory
drinking the colors
of remembrance &
the longing-in-the-heart
Without the rain
I think I can still (if
I try hard)
smell your small
happiness, not measured
artificially, nor with
your own obvious
acknowledgement
Listening to the rain
my soul takes on a voice
making me believe
everything will be alright
from now on, like this quiet falling
Nothing is lost
Nothing gained
...
this other voice
:
So is life
So is death
So is love
and everything else
we want to name

according to the Greek, "knowledge" means "to hold attention to" or "to woo" :)
that is, what we want to learn must seduce us, and we it....
this metaphor is not new....i read many times in poetry....
[oh, hey, did you also have problems posting?? sometimes i had to try more than once....]

YY: Enjoying joking belongs to Personality, i guess so :)
At the end of every poem, mother smiles
Once a boy, always a boy!
There is no use in stopping him
From fighting for the worthless prize
Maybe her daughter is somewhat
Wiser, slowly turning
Her gaze from the cesspool
With sugar glaze & content
To open her womb for another
Countryless child
-luckily for us,a mountain is a mammal. The plusorminus movie to end moving,the strictly scientific parlourgame of real unreality,the tyranny conceived in misconception and dedicated to the proposition that every man is a woman and any woman is a king,hasn't a wheel to stand on. What their synthetic not to mention transparent majesty, mrsandmr collective foetus,would improbably call a ghost is walking. He isn't a undream of anaesthetized impersons, or a cosmic comfortstation,or a transcedentally sterilized lookiesoundiefeelietastiesmellie. He is a healthily complex,a naturally homogenous,citizen of immorality. The now of his each pitying free imperfect gesture,his any birth of breathing,insults perfected inframortally milleniums of slavishness. He is a little more than everything,he is democracy;he is alive:he is ourselves.
According to the saying in "Da Vinci Code", the original icon for male is
/\ known as "blade" representing aggression; the original icon for female is \/ known as "chalice" representing fertility. "Holy Grail" is a symbol represent sacred vessel that gives birth to the life...;)
Well, distrated from the subject. Only because ZF mentioned hermapharodite it reminded me this connection..:)
ABout "双重个性", I remembered there is some interesting writing in "Da Vinci Code", that Holy Grail... ALso the paint "Mona Lisa" was said to contain "双重性别". I could be have wrong memory..:))

Yesterday, I "saw" Da's visual art creature with my splited eyes. After seeing eyes look at the other eyes, ripples cover the other ripples, reflection reflect the other reflection, my eyes really started to split and my head start to spin! I became dizzy and faint.....:))
I started to wondering what I was doing? I am not only living for today, I am more andanced now! I am trying to learn to live for the every changing living instant! My oh my, can I handle this?? :)
Then I had to close my eyes and say "surrender!". Oopes, I meant to say, "let go of all the moments!" :)))

SD, are you "spliting" your eye balls now??
:))
see with your mind's eye....
知凡 发表评论于
i am also living for today... :)
我也是。。。但是不是要得过且过的那个意思。。。
所以我认为 a personal "happiness" or "pleasure" is IMPORTANT....
it is "good" or "lucky" for some one.... 我想为了所爱的人也要想法快乐，才对得起自己所爱的人，如果我们每个人都能快快乐乐的，这个世界也就太平了...
我的思想很简单，其实真正快乐比痛苦困难多了（我的个人体会）。。。
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,

"so, we keep an eye on the world, another on the inner universe...." until one day, one of us is unable to tell the difference between the external world and the internal universe anymore and both world become ONE, so that he/her won't need to split his/her eye balls.;))

SD: I don't know whether there is sexual identity at the "soul" level. . .
i agree....
when we look at those paintings, we know that is what the artists reveal to us...
you missed the "meeting" ... now it's your turn to speak...:)
LTG 发表评论于
didn't mean to be lofty....
i am also living for today... :)
by水滴 发表评论于
I just returned home. A super long day. Hope didn't miss the "meeting":)
I don't know whether there is sexual identity at the "soul" level. But I bet the sexual differention must started at very high level. From 0 to 1 no difference, but from 1 to 2, I bet 2 ("Ying and Yang") inferred sexual difference. A pure guess.:)

No hurry for 天堂 ... :))
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Above us only sky。。。所以对于凡人来说，智慧或许就是"living for today..."
米勒的智慧也是这样的"living for today..."
in short, a personal "happiness" or "pleasure" is not important....it is "good" or "lucky" for some one....
so, we keep an eye on the world, another on the inner universe....
您这可是真正的艺术家的胸怀！！！

"性别之分" should not keep one from getting 智慧....
Lennon's song is about world peace....that is very very very important!!!
:)

人---灵魂，生命, 无性别之分---（那必定是个天堂！天堂里没有评判和没有辨别没有智慧人人一样何来男女之分别？？）
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
（我一直佩服列侬的领悟力）
人---灵魂，生命, 无性别之分---在慢慢的苏醒...成熟...（！！！！！！！！）
（我是这样理解你这句话的。。。我无法一下子跃入天堂：）

z.z.:
any good artist possesses something different or unique....
we should not confuse the artist as a person and her/his art...
we must admit that our world has been greatly dominated by patriarchical doctrines ... women in the West has very little freedom until not long ago...
i forgot who said that "artists are medias through whom beautiful things come to life," or something like that....
“we should not confuse the artist as a person and her/his art...“
"artists are medias through whom beautiful things come to life,"
完全同意！！！
“Art, it has been said, is beauty, and a thing of beauty is a joy for ever”.

水滴，我和你有一些同感，我首先觉得Adi Da 是个人，我没有看很多关于他的资料，但是我能体会一些东西，他是个很独特的人，其实神与魔没有分别。。。我相信他是个很非同寻常的人，受过很多精神痛苦。。。有一些“天才”，我们平凡的人是很难对他们做评价的。。。所以别人对他的评价也不一定是对的，没有对错。。。"nothing proving or sick or partial. Nothing false,nothing difficult or easy or small or colossal. Nothing ordinary or extraordinary,nothing emptied or filled,real or unreal;nothing feeble and known or clumsy and guessed."
李敖说佛教的精髓是男人来生想变佛，女人来生想变成男人。。。Adi Da 读书时很感兴趣Gertrude Stein，而Gertrude Stein在她的有生之年是以男人的感觉生活的，所以Adi Da神乎其神没什么好奇怪的。。。任何一种宗教我以为其实都是对世界的认识。。。所以每个人或多或少都有宗教情怀。。。如果一个人信的是他自己对世界的认识，进入上乘，离“神”也就不远了。。。
Listening to the rain
my soul takes on a voice
making me believe
everything will be alright
from now on, like this quiet falling
Nothing is lost
Nothing gained
...
this other voice
:
So is life
So is death
So is love
and everything else
we want to name
很有同感！！！
也喜欢Adi Da的这幅作品，天蝎座不少艺术家的内在视觉很独特，比如毕加索。。。

I am wondering whether you "spy" at me and my mind when I walk among the woods. :)

As you can sense, I love Alex's art very much! In fact, I bought one of his post today. Yesterday the price was marked $40 (withoun signiture), today it reduced to $25. What a coincidence! Did they know that I can't afford $40, but can afford $25? :))
I also checked out Adi Da's teaching. I love his teaching. But after reading "Ken Wilber"'s assay, I got a more realistic view of Da as a person.:)
