Fool Turtle

Apologies to Ikkyu Sojun…

I killed my dog this morning and buried her
just as gently as I would my own son

I found my dog dead this evening and buried him

I’m being visited by a dog! He pushed my front door open; ha!

Thought I’d give the Desert Dwellers a chance… Have been listening to a youtube playlist for a while… It’s nice. I like.

Thanks, Russell

Get anatomy books and ask the doctor to point out where you have injuries, and imagine those parts are healing. Imagine the energy going around the blocks in your body.”…[Read more]

I don’t always find his humor amusing, but I have an underworld of my own, too:

Today I used a pencil, graphite pencil, big eraser, and ballpoint pen to draw a pair of egrets standing in a mist. I would apologize for the number of posts exploring… It has been good for me, though, and may boil down to coherant questions soon. I am fascinated …

Here’s an example of yin-yang?

The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet

Western philosophy, having little connection with everyday living, is (to this observer, at least) comparatively egocentric and impractical, with much Arguing and Theorizing, and much bounding back and forth across the…[Read more]

After all, why do we suppose there is a large “self-help” section in bookstores and libraries? Is it that we maybe have some problems built into what we are all doing?

What is it that all of us have been involved in building, in this “society”, and for whom?

Q: How would you answer those questions?

At present, billions of American…[Read more]

“The sun is round. I ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when I can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. I understand all this, not in my mind, but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when I read it all again, another…[Read more]

fruktansvärd skönhet –

fruktansvärt jag, du.

Jag älskar dig mer, vetskap värdet

Brief note: Scrolling through Youtube videos, in a sort of deep unfocused concentration, following an impulse, looking/listening/feeling for the harmonic resonance… My hand began shaking uncontrollably and “accidentally” selected a song that I have never heard, by a group I’m familiar with. That turned into this post. Howdy, do you know what…[Read more]
