black and white and read all over....
a nun tumbling down the stairs,
a chessboard wrapped around a body,
a mime,
a muse,
a fool most of all.....
a perpetual beginner
amazed and puzzled
curious and captured
tormented and calm
trusting expression
trusting carnal knowledge
hopeful about craft
learning to yield
Hopes for the blog: offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters.... enact kindness create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness
When true simplicity is gain'd, To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd, To turn, turn will be our delight, Till by turning, turning we come round right.
aporia-- yes, indeed; i suppose it's why i like this little quote so much. thanks for the insight :) SarahA--T.S.Elliot left lots to ponder .... that's a grand word, ponder, isn't it?? thanks for the visit. Punch--thanks for this lovely response. quite resonant.
again, and anew, i commit myself to remembering how important these words are.
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole lot of wisdom and ambiguity here, eh?
ReplyDeleteI have not read these words before (shame on me) and I am liking such, muchly.In few lines, there is many thoughts to ponder.

Me too. I hunt the wild wisdom and often find the spoor of folly. It is necessary to look ridiculous sometimes, perhaps more often than I care to.
ReplyDeletechristopher-- i have lots of those opportunities too!! for looking ridiculous, i mean. thanks for the lovely sentiment
