With thoughts clear,
sitting silently, wander into the
centre of the circle of wonder. This is
how you must penetrate
and study.

these days
down here beneath the solar sea
the tidal flow of light etching the edges
of the continents we conjugate the colors
and the distances consult the oracles
decipher shadows dream the moment
when this sunken world
will rise
alisa perebyinis, gone from this world at 9
The days
and months go by like
lightning: we should value the time.
We pass from life to death in the time it takes to
breathe in and breathe out: it’s hard to guarantee even
a morning and an evening. Whether walking,
standing, sitting, or lying down,
do not waste even a
minute of
time.
Put
down your myriad
of concerns and wake up.
At the end of the road it’s like an iron wall.
False thoughts are all extinguished, and extinguishing is
wiped away. Body and mind seem to be resting on
the void. In the stillness a light reaches
everywhere with its
brilliance.
God breaks our hearts
open a thousand times so we can
fit the whole universe
inside.
Jalal al-din Rumi
“he learned of the death of his family on twitter”
Whether
we and our politicians
know it or not, Nature is party
to all our deals and decisions, and she
has more votes, a longer memory,
and a sterner sense of justice
than we do.
