TIME

Time Flies
Time Creeps
Time Never Sleeps

PLAINLY AS SIMBA COULD SEE IT

( January 16, 1996)


Motto Perpetuo
A never-ending story
A musical piece by Paganini
A poem by Whitman
With a million dots at the end

A long unpunctuated sentence
With short creative pauses
In between words
Or group of words
By whoever it is who wills
This to be like this

An eternal journey
Towards its beginning
Never ceasing
Forever moving
Flowing

One at a time
Not farther
But closer where
It all began

LIFE !

...

Bungled and botched
Alkie drugie hippie
Quicksilver lazybone
Vagabond good for nothing
sonnamagun

Great one
Yuppie proffie businessman
Straight doctor g-man
Priest lawyer
Respectable man

Does it matter how
One lives
Or if one sags
Or explodes?

LIFE!?

... ...

A place where
The lion sleeps
With the lamb without
Worrying who will
Kill or eat who

Where everyone owns everything
Where everyone owns nothing
All for one
One for all

Hakuna matata
No worries
No responsibilities

Eternal
Ethereal

LIFE!?!

... ... ...
etc...!?! !

Feeling's not Mutual ( or is it?)

You lay
yourself down
in sweet abandon
thinking I would
relish this gesture
of surrender.

But I know
deep inside
you're thinking
of something else.

Not someone,
mind you.
Something!

I know your minds
preoccupation with words.
Words. Words. Words.

You are making
a poem out of this.

Gottcha!
Frigid woman.
Let's stop this.
Bye.

Aldous Huxley

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.

Aldous Huxley, Vedanta for the Western World, 1945

GANDHI

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

Mahatma Gandhi

“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.”

Ayn Rand quote

Jacques Maritain

Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
Jacques Maritain

Adrian Van Kaam

Many people of good will strive wholeheartedly for peace, mutual understanding, human encounter, world unity, and living harmony. Yet human vulnerability in face of the divisiveness that followed the Fall can never be totally overcome by excellent intentions, marvelous slogans, peace marches and conferences, disarmaments, sensitivity training courses and group dynamics alone. All of these efforts can be helpful. They can provide some relief, but not a cure; they should be put into practice insofar as possible, but they will never be sufficient in themselves to overcome our basic disunity. - Adrian Van Kaam, The Tender Farewell of Jesus pg. 124.

Adrian Van Kaam

Our life may be imprisoned in functional dispositions. They dim the vision of the spirit. Most harmful in this regard are those of ascendancy over others. To prove our functional potency, we may strive vigorously to outshine other people. This competitive attitude engenders inordinate strife and self-exertion. As a result our bloodstream may be polluted with overdoses of glandular chemicals. Arteries, brain, heart, and other organs may suffer from such surfeit. Disorder results. Problems like these multiply in functionalistic cultures because they are dominated by social form traditions that neglect the unfolding transcendent dispositions. - Adrian Van Kaam (From Formative Spirituality Volume 2: Human Formation pg. 99)

alan watts

There are certain truths which have to be stood on their heads before they can be noticed at all; in the ordinary way they are so simple that we fail to perceive them, and they have to be complicated in order to be presented for thought and discussion.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.
Leo Buscaglia

THE GESTALT PRAYER

I do my thing, and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you and I am I,
And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.

(F. Perls)

QUOTE

There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make- up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success." ( George M. Adams, american author)
