Creation

           
Imagination is the beginning of creation.
You imagine what you desire,
You will what you imagine,
And at last you create what you will.

George Bernard Shaw

Gourmands

The soul has a taste for goodness, just as the body has an appetite for pleasure.

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

Rendezvous

Beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

Rumi

Galleries

Living is like tearing through a museum.
Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book,
and remembering--
Because you can't take it in all at once.

Audrey Hepburn

Hindu Sadhus

Four Poems

Dancing is the body made poetic.

Ernst Bacon

The Gulf

Masturbation is not only an expression of self-regard: it is also the natural emotional outlet of those who...have already accepted as inevitable the wide gulf between their real futures and the expectations of their fantasies.

Quentin Crisp

                                             

                                                       

Not Now, Voyager

Truth isn't an idea or a concept.

It's not in libraries or in the words of sages.

It doesn't come in a flash of insight or a peak experience.

It's not a feeling of bliss or ecstasy.

It's not a concept to be understood, or a feeling to be experienced.

It's not in your heart or your mind.

It's further.


Jed McKenna

Balance

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over.
 Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Kurt Vonnegut
