Heinrich Kleist said that man, caught between the innocence of animals and the perfect knowledge of angels; desiring to reach one of these perfect states. This painting tries to convey this condition.

My new book of poems in progress; here is the Title poem!

TEMPORALITY

In this forest
I begin to comprehend time,
Caught between present and eternity
And ancient memory.
The murmur of the stream
Framing eternity
In moment
The whisper of breeze
Vibrating leaves
Giving form to light
To the delight of birds.

Temporal and timeless,
The presence of centuries
And seconds
Now beckon
Across memories
Beyond the dreams of men
A context of eternity,
Passage and renewal

You and I

I, this being here and now with these perceptions, need to express this condition of being human. This relationship of one, small microscopic part observing the whole, from my microsecond of eternal time.

You, reading this, do you find an echo in my world? Where are you in the flow of time: are you young or old? Which value systems were you born to: American, Chinese? Egalitarian, hierarchical? Individualistic, social? (link: Schwarz Value Theory). How are you situated in the structure of power and control that dictates our lives? Is this book for the bedside or the bin?

The world is dynamic process

pp — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:02:16 +0000

The world is dynamic process of which we are one small infinitesimal part. It cannot be fixed and all description is subjective in time and in its point of view.

The Buddha taught that beyond this world created by our own senses and limitations, the phenomenal world dissolves into a dynamic process. The true nature of reality lies beyond the realm of language and linear analysis.

Dynamic Process

‘Dynamic Process’ is the name of my book in progress. Its subject is no less than the nature of human perception of reality; what we can, and cannot, know and the nature of “Truth”.

See the book page on the site

As an experiment, the ongoing development will take place through this blog:

Born into the separation of existence we forget the eternity from which we come; seeing the world from here we become fixed in our perspective, in our egocentric divide. Man kills, destroys and dominates in the name of truth and in the blindness of selfishness. My reality against yours; my success against yours. All is sacrificed before, blindness, fear, desire for power and control: “der Wille zur Macht”.

It is as if the endless rich variety of difference cannot be tolerated and we globalize everything into standardization and sameness with primitive force or finance.

What can make a difference? The humble are destroyed by the arrogant. Power is seized by those least suited to wield it. The individual is swallowed by the global company.

Only education can enlarge the vision and we replace education with training.

Why write what has been written a thousand times? To bear witness to a simple truth that is eternal and must be kept alive.
