We turn around, .......around the sun
and what revolves.....around whatever
sure will become........nice round itself
My head is full, ..........my head is thin
the bed is large..........and we are small
though we are real, ....we quickly pass

We turn around, .........around the sun
the stars revolve.........around each other
a universe...................around the void
that just exists.............a little while
and then once more...is everything
although it's old, ........it still stays young

as we are too, .............throughout our lives
I'm satisfied.................because we're one
I do love you...............we turn around
high in the crown........of planet earth
together on..................the King-size bed
where love creates......and I exist
“Because” (1969, John Lennon)

Celtic symbolism: Fern (the Alder), who does not rot in the water and always holds out; the Alder should be guided by Bran (the blessed god of the spirit world) and the Fox (the symbol of diplomacy)

I am alive: moments
of which I know nothing
and cannot know anything

It's only a split second
after that I realize –
my mind divides it

into myself
into others and objects –
what altogether is not there

when I live, then I am
one with everything
without any

attention and senses
appearing to be involved
It just is and cannot be

any other way, sometimes
with an after-effect –
a Knowing Feeling
Tao (Laozi [604-507])

Monism: there is one being, neutral, no materialism and no idealism
(Baruch Spinoza [1632-1677], Parmenides [born c. 515 vC])

Though both were born of cosmic flame
They fought too much for both were the same
And so they split night from day
So the other may always have their way...

But the cosmic ties that bond their hearts
Could never truly be pulled apart
So once in a blue moon, and every other red sun
The sky becomes dark...and the two become one.

Yóu have a head, with everything:
cheeks, chin, and ears, nose and
eyes that determine your position

That head of yours is full:
there is a tongue in it, with teeth
and a lot of brains, but

I don't have that myself

I am not that myself

When I think of the inside
of my skull, there is nothing:
a void

And when I concentrate on it
I just have no thoughts
as if I am completely at ease

not something, just space
an observing spirit
to whom the world appears
• "Headless" is an insight that Douglas Harding (Lowestoft 1909-2007) received in 1943
    • "On Having No Head. Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious" (1961, Douglas Harding)

it is not words
not even laughter
not a smile
nor a gesture
an expression
or opinion

there could be
silence;
nothing
but silence
and
our stillness

it would still be true.

we are stuck
between Scylla
                           and
        Charybdis
we know the path we must take
but
I fear
we will ignore
the warnings

we are still off course

We are tied together by space and time.
The earth stands still whenever we are together.
You have shockingly good vibes, they mesh
with the intensity of your touch.

The music stops, time is halted, we lay together,
and just be.
When you go back home and leave me behind,
I turn away so you can't see me cry.

I can feel your energy, though we are miles apart.
You are forever embedded in the chambers of my heart.
heart, love, stand still, time, forever, away,
Nonetheless, I hope that you still remain.
The person that you were
And the person that you became.

Not all ending yield tragedy.
Remember that at one point in time,
There was no place we would rather be.
In April,
Our together was cut short,
I couldn't look you in the eyes.
The second our words fleeted,
We were drowning in butterflies.

A story they will never know,
Only for our hearts to see.
The showers of April,
The deaths of you and me.
