Prime

"The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise."

Alden Nowlan, poet, novelist, and playwright (1933-1983)

Still true two hundred years later

"The least pain in our little finger gives us more concern and uneasiness than the destruction of millions of our fellow-beings."

William Hazlitt, essayist (1778-1830)

Taste of the art

"Ah, good taste, what a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness."

Pablo Picasso, painter and sculptor (1881-1973)

Logos Almighty

"No man has a prosperity so high or firm, but that two or three words can dishearten it; and there is no calamity which right words will not begin to redress."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)

The Mime

The Mime

While I was there

While I was there

I had no care

No care in the world

But to remain there

Silent, uncoloured

Warm and content

With no other intent

But to remain there

While I was there

Nothing mattered

Nothing could err

I was centred

Poised, sphered

While dawn appeared

I felt rare

While I was there

While I was there

A minute was a year

There I measured time

In breaths and heartbeats

For even nighttime

Had vanished.

I thought that there I could remain

The hourglass set dormant and low

But well I knew that it was vain

As the hourglass has to flow

Though no other place

In my daily race

Could be as warm

As there, in her arms.

Indirect teaching

"I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers."

Kahlil Gibran, mystic, poet, and artist (1883-1931)

Sense of the meaning

"You may say that people look for meaning in everything, but they don't. They've got life going on around them, but they don't look for meaning there. They look for meaning when they go to a movie. I don't know why people expect art to make sense when they accept the fact that life doesn't make sense."

David Lynch, filmmaker, tv director, musician.
