still the wave
The deep places in the river are not so obvious as the shallow ones & can only be found by carefully probing it. So perhaps it is with human nature…..Thoreau
we are our most pure, I think, when we are using our imagination to contemplate our deepest places, our most complex issues, & our wish to express our true nature….
Can’t we, too, find our own way to look at our small worlds & perceive the universe- the All manifested by the ordinarily Small? In that way, our lives would take on their proper dimensions, which are measured by time & eternity, place & infinity. One finds meaning in life by living fully & intensely, within the borders of one’s own particular, vernacular, unexceptional existence….Thomas Moore
the need to regress, pull back into our shells, to remember our intention, is elemental in discovering our deeper story….this is not as complex as one might think…it’s living…this is the re-enchantment of the everyday….
I draw water
I carry wood,
This is my magic.
….Joshu
