Alan Watts , Falling In Love
nice little video.
falling in love is a gate, to stay being in love is a wonder of recognition and
a continuous astonishment with another, to love is a process of giving
and listening and understanding. trying to say 'it'.
on writing: also a discipline with variation in intention
sometimes i write as i do paperwork, see last night's 'poem',
it is like turning prayer wheels or mills, a way of mindful slow motion
for going inside.
not all is written with 'blood' and at the same time it is, even this.
this way of writing will lift nobody out of his/her chair,
but it helps me to find the end of my days
and to leave turmoil and functioning.
and this i see as 'good', for me more than for anybody else.

end of day: blessing of mindful monotony
the cat sleeps
spread-eagle
on the carpet,
near the fireplace
monotony
has crept inside
my life filling
it with papers
and i turned the
pages like prayer mills
with mindful repetition
and the forgetting
of me, this way
i feel pleasure
observing the slow
variation of speed
and time disappears.
now i sit here
not caring who i am.
why should i?
would my cat?
he snores.
i go to bed.
