maya

2010-08-28T15:25:00.000-07:00

Maya:

A term of Vedanta philosophy denoting ignorance obscuring the vision of Reality; the cosmic illusion on account of which the One appears as the many, the Absolute as the relative.

re-birth

Phoenix

are you willing to sponged out, erased, cancelled.
made nothing?

are you willing to be made nothing
dipped into oblivion?

if not you will never really change

the phoenix renews her youth
only when she is burnt, burnt alive, burnt down
to hot and flocculent ash

then the small stirring of a new small bub in the nest
with strands like floating ash

shows that she is renewing her youth like the eagle.
Immortal bird.

2010-06-19T15:47:00.000-07:00

below what we think we are
we are something else,
we are almost anything

....

pivotal core of the soul, heavier than iron
so ponderously central;
heavier and hotter than anything known:

and also alone
and yet
reeling with connection
spinning with the heaviness of balance
and flowing invisibly, gasping
towards the breathing stars and the central of all sunniness

....

out of the soul's middle to the middle-most sun, way-off or in every atom...

suspension of disbelief

2010-04-13T00:04:00.000-07:00

"Suspension of disbelief or "willing suspension of disbelief" is a formula named as such in English by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge to justify the use of fantastic or non-realistic elements in literature. Coleridge suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative"

March 08, 2010|By Kim Murphy|LA times

The Aurora Bridge is one of the most jumped-off bridges in the U.S. Half of it runs over land -- creating a particularly horrifying danger for pedestrians.

Reporting from Seattle — The lonely heights of bridges have often been magnets for suicide -- San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, the Coronado Bridge in San Diego. The lure of a spectacular plunge to a speedy demise in a womb of water has proven irresistible for generations.... See More

In few of these places, though, are despairing jumpers in danger of becoming deadly missiles, threatening pedestrians below. That dubious honor is reserved for Seattle, where the 78-year-old Aurora Bridge runs 167 feet above the west end of Lake Union -- half of it over land.

This is for everyone who has visited this park..with or without me..but i do have some very fond memories of visits with my current and past friends..and of course my daughters...thank-you...

This was a very time consuming effort...easily spent 30+hours (filming+editing+mixing)into making this and i am very proud of this final cut...yay me...i can finally put this beast (growls) to bed...

let it...

2009-12-30T20:42:00.000-08:00

Let it flow.
Let it come from the deepest being you can feel.
Let it fester, and fester.
Let it get hot like a burning volcano.
Let it explode.
Let it run from your burning heart to the burning keys.
Let it be said.
Let it be told.
Let it make you feel.
Let it make you cold.

-Dan S. Whitener

For ****

2009-12-25T02:47:00.000-08:00

No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kissed
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Imprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty -Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veiled Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine:
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

-Ode on Melancholy
John Keats

notes from the underground

"My debauchery I undertook solitarily, by night, covertly, fearfully, filthily, with a shame that would not abandon me... I was then already bearing the underground in my soul"

-Fyodor Dostoevsky
