· I Am Still Thinking of That Raven
I am
still thinking of that raven
in the valleys of Yush:
with the double rustle of its pair of black scissors
it cut a slanting curve
from the paper sky
and through the dry croaking of its throat
is said something
to the nearby peak
which the weary mountains
bewildered
under the full sun
repeated for long
in their rocky skulls.
Sometimes I ask myself
what a raven
with its decisive final presence
and its mournful persistent color
may have to say to the aged mountains
when at high noon
it glides over the baked ocher of a wheat-field
to soar atop a few aspens
which these tired sleepy hermits
repeat for long
together
at summer noontides.
-Ahmed Shamlou
Life makes each person develop strange and varying outer shells. We are but figments
of the imaginations of ourselves.
We are mutations of our inner beings served to the fluorescent lights around.
As ego subsides, we can see with clearness and softness : embryos many stages more
complete. Idiosynchrasies are taught, though the heart is not.
We pick at scabs and stretch holes to test our personas, while the naive child in between
suffers muffled screams.
This is no crisis, this is merely our new state of being.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can
go.
T.S. Elliot
Namaste
I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides.
I honour the place in you of love, of light, of peace.
I honour the place within you where, if you are in that place in you & I am in that place
in me, there is only one of us.
"Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of
darkness on the confines of two everlasting hostile empires - Necessity and Free
Will."
-Thomas Carlyle, poet, essayist - 1795-1881
Each of us is merely one human being, merely an experiment, a way
station. But each of us should be on the way towards perfection, should be striving to
reach the centre, not the periphery.
The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.
-Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game
Confucius says, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling; but in rising
every time we fall."
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And
if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves
on a rainy Sunday
afternoon.
-D. P. Barron
