hi- fi blasting “Somebody to Love”

- Peter Balakian

We know that time isn’t a circular abstraction we move

along with the hope of eternal return. We know that motion

and emotion are embedded in each other

It takes years to remember all the things that always mattered

Now I'm lost in my own lies

entrei 

e não sei 

se saio

não estou aqui para dar aula

já fiz isso

mas não 

eu sendo a matéria 

minha linguagem não é padrão

eu sei 

não sou ninguém

e ninguém

é a matéria

Se joga! Mas se joga de verdade, não apenas no discurso.

Dharmakaya

Philip Whalen

The real thing is always an imitation

Consider new plum blossoms behind the zendō

For each of us there is a place

Wherein we will tolerate no disorder.

We habitually clean and reorder it,

But we allow many other surfaces and regions

To grow dusty, rank and wild.

I love you very much

But sometimes I love you even more from a distance

Never to the vanishing point

- Philip Whalen

What do I want

What am I really after

Sometimes a tree answers.

All the constituents of being are

Transitory: Work out your salvation with diligence.

- Buddha

Now I am old and infirm. I fear I shall no more be

able to roam among the beautiful mountains. Clarifying my mind, I meditate

on the mountain trails and wander about only in dreams.

- Tsung Ping

I always say I won’t go back to the mountains

I am too old and fat there are bugs mean mules

And pancakes every morning of the world

- Philip Whalen
