Stripes With Plaid

“Once you can accept
the universe as matter
expanding into nothing
that is something,
wearing stripes
with plaid comes easy.”

― Albert Einstein

One Blue Sky Above Us

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more
-Pete Seeger

In The Stream

In the stream,
Rushing past
To the dusty world,
My fleeting form
Casts no reflection.

-Eihei Dogen

Waltz Of The Flowers

Tchaikovsky: Waltz of the Flowers

I am sitting
with a philosopher
in the garden.
He says again and again
I know that that’s a tree,
pointing to a tree
that is near us.
Someone else arrives
and hears this,
and I tell him:
This fellow isn’t insane.
We are only doing philosophy.
--Ludwig Wittgenstein

There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who returns again and again to say "It is yet more difficult than you thought." This is the muse of form. It may be then that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.
--Wendell Berry
