if we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

The five colors blend the eye.
The five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavors cloy the palate.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Rare goods tempt men to do wrong.

Therefore the Sage takes care of the belly, not the eye.
He prefers what is within to what is without.

- Lao Tzu <Tao Teh Ching>

There is nothing worse than to walk out along the street
without you. I don't know where I'm going.
You are the road and the knower of roads,
more than the maps, more than love.

We are the night ocean filled
with glints of light. We are the space
between the fish and the moon,
while we sit here together.

This we have now
is not imagination.

This is not
grief or joy.

Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.

Those come
and go.

This is the presence
that doesn't.

What else could human beings want ?

When grapes turn to wine,
they're wanting
this.

When the nightsky pours by,
its really a crowd of beggars,
and they all want some of this!

This
that we are now
created the body, cell by cell,
like bees building a honeycomb.

The human body and the universe
grew from this, not this
from the universe and the human body.

- Rumi

The aesthetic event is something as evident, as immediate, as indefinable as love, the taste of fruit, of water. We feel poetry as we feel the closeness of a woman, or as we feel a mountain or a bay. If we feel it immediately, why dilute it with other words, which no doubt will be weaker than our feelings?

-- Jorge Luis Borges
