When ripples dream

Destiny. A high-sounding word for what happens.

Vision

Projection is perception. Thus, everyone I see represents an aspect of myself. Do I judge you? I judge myself. Do I harm you? I harm myself. We create the world we live in.

Oceanic

We are in the stillness, pared of extraneity, of fuss and elaboration, anticipation and regret, and a single tear, extravagantly weighted, rolls down our cheek. There we go.

The true man

He knows how brief his span is. He doesn’t mind what happens.

Words on words

Knowing about is not knowing. I can be an expert on honey without having tasted it.  Thus: “Those who know do not speak.” “What do you read, my lord,” asked Polonius. “Words, words, words,” replied Hamlet, meaning nothing of value. Warhol dug into this with his famous rendering of a can of Campbell’s tomato soup. Krishnamurti: “The day you teach the child the name of the bird, the child will never see that bird again.” Overheard: “The guy’s a jerk.”
