May we turn inwards and stumble upon our true roots
in the intertwining biology of this exquisite planet.
May nourishment and power pulse through these roots,
and fierce determination to continue the billion-year dance.
John Seed
A BUDDHIST PIECE ~ Poets Corner
THIS PIECE SPEAKS FOR US TO TAKE TIME TO MARVEL AT ALL THAT WE HAVE.
If I am holding a cup of water and I ask you,
"Is this cup empty?" you will say, "No, it is full of water."
But if I pour out the water and ask you again, you may say,
"Yes, it is empty."
But, empty of what?
Empty means empty of something. The cup cannot be empty of nothing.
"Empty" doesn't mean anything unless you know "empty of what?"
My cup is empty of water, but it's not empty of air.
To be empty is to be empty of something.
This is quite a discovery.
Unknown.

IMAGINATIONS OF ELY
A FEW WORDS OF MY BELIEF WRITTEN ON A PAINTING "IMAGINATIONS OF ELY" AS A PRESENT TO A FRIEND
"What feet of insects, animals, birds and man
have walked these wild places,
leaving their dim discovered song lines
that are our make up ?"
