Quote of the Day – March 12 2010
“Plato imagines a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners.”

Prem
It’s a bubble really
something of beauty that can’t be touched
only felt
it can’t be described only explored
this sense of love
of unity
that lies within without
spirals up and outward
cosmic crazy glue
that permeates all
Does there exist a divine name
that excludes us?
Does a home exist that we can’t claim?
Locks and keys we have
and hide within
and distract ourselves with
what we call real life
tho nothing can be more real
than that which we contain
that which contains us
