The right art is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.
— D.T. Suzuki
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by what happened in Paris today which makes it difficult to write. I am both heartened and saddened by the reactions. One friend of mine on social media summed it up best by saying that in the face of the inhumanity that we are seeing from people, we have really reached a point where we need to say “No More”. My heart, prayers and energy go out to those who lost their lives today and their families.

“There’s an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It’s when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.”
—Chuck Palahniuk
I’ve never seen that
look in your eyes
or that colour
Your touch is so new
and so adored
how have I missed that before.
Our bodies explore
each other’s touch
has anything felt so rare?
Your smile, your gasp
music I’ve missed
throughout all my affairs
You are new and different
and to my delight
you seem to feel the same
Each night we meet
for the first time
and for the first time we share
after fifty years of marriage
each other’s premiere.
— G A Rosenberg
“The creator gathered all of creation and said, “I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality”. The Eagle said, “Give it to me, I will take it to the moon”. The creator said, “No, one day they will go there and find it”. The salmon said, “I will bury it at the bottom of the ocean”. The creator said, “ No they will go there too”. The buffalo said, “I will bury it on the great plains”. The creator said, “ No, they will cut the skin of the Earth and find it even there”. Grandmother mole, who lives in the breast of Mother earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes said, “Put it inside of them”. And the creator said, “It is done!”
— A Sioux Story
To say that the truth was within us all the time is something of a cliche. There have been songs about it and it is among the main themes in literature and music. Yet all cliches contain a nugget of truth. That is how they became cliches in the first place. We also each within us contain a nugget of truth. We also contain the ability to create / alter our own reality. Part of doing so involves the realization that it is possible. Tho the work to make it so may be considerable because so much of it involves changing our outlook and changing the story we tell ourselves about what lies within. The story suggests that such things as going to the moon, the bottom of the sea and beneath the plains is trivial in comparison to going within and utilizing what we contain there. Yet still there is hope and will.

Indecision
What will happen if I do?
What will happen if I don’t do anything?
What will those who love me think about it?
What will those who belittle me think about it?
Why do I always freeze when there is a decision to be made?
Fuck IT!!!

“I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.”
— Alexander Pushkin
We believe we share a common language but we are mistaken. Oh we use the same words and they sound the same but we differ in meaning and nuance. Our symbolisms differ sometimes a little and sometimes a great deal. To me it’s not half as surprising that we misunderstand each other so often as that at times we manage to communicate at all. That borders on the miraculous.
Each person has their own key and codex that we can learn each step of the way. We can start out easy by asking someone what they mean when they use a different word. We can learn sense modalities and come to understand the symbolism that underlays their expression. This all takes time and patience. It’s worthwhile tho. I don’t know that there is a greater joy than true communication with another except possibly clear communication with our inner selves and the outer universe.
Blessings, G
