Roundelay: Shadorma

ROUNDELAY

It is in
The darkest hour
That the worst
Is over
And things can only improve
With this fresh cycle

Justitia’s Secret

JUSTITIA’S SECRET

A black and white world
Would be so much easier
But it just ain’t so.

 

Nonetheless Taoists
After pondering the Whole
Manage a balance.

3-2-1 Quote Me Challenge : Expression

“Tao is obscured by our inadequate understanding, and words are obscured by flowery expressions.”

– Chuang Tzu. (Trans. Lin Yutang)

“The purest expression of fiction is the attempt to create a world, not represent it; thus the creation ought to be more significant than the representation.”

– John Hawkes.

This post is a response to today’s 3-2-1 Quote Me Challenge,  a challenge which was initially set up by A Guy Named Bloke And K9 Doodlepip

I was tagged by willowdot21 to take part in today’s challenge.

So here’s how it works:-

1. Thank the selector: “Thank you, willowdot. 🙂

2. Post two quotes for the challenge of the day, which today is “expression”. See above.

3. Select three fellow posters to take part in this challenge.

The three lucky folk are listed below. There is no obligation though; only those who would like to play need do so. 🙂

CONSUMED

Dangly Bits And Traps

DANGLY BITS AND TRAPS

Then again
From a Zen
Or Dzogchen
Viewpoint – or Tao
Relax back into Now
Return – Release
Thought destroys Peace
Breeds Illusion
Confusion
All is One
With no one
Real to worry
To fret or hurry
From here to there
Be more than Aware
Ending up being less
And breathless
Breathe in – Breathe out
No mind what it’s all about

One Paradoxical View

ONE PARADOXICAL VIEW

Use me, use me better I pray
Than I know how to use my self

Inside outside of one One
Yes, always yin yang yet
Acknowledging oneness
Still upsize the upside
Downsize the downside
Or at times the other
Always yin yang yet still
Upside downside of one One
Sitting, standing, walking
Differentiating this from that
Am I not still not One? Or not?

Use me, use me better I pray
Than I know how to use my self

MANIFEST II

Forever changing
Forever CHI forever
Forever changing

The Personal Revolution

THE PERSONAL REVOLUTION

From just I just I
To We then back again to
An unmanaged “I”

There’s Left Wing and there’s Right Wing
Then there’s the bird free of wings

Alien Dreamers All

ALIEN DREAMERS ALL

Even? … Odd?
Even odd balance
This and that
Here and there
Kaleidoscopic jigsaw
You know how It is

Nothing To Sneeze At

NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT

My wife complained one day
At my sneezing with such gusto
I explained to her that it sprang
From my realisation that a sneeze
Is the respiratory system equivalent
Of an orgasm and therefore it is best
To simply just let go and fully enjoy it
She said I must be the only person who
Could manage to complicate a sneeze

Learning Impaired (28b)

LEARNING IMPAIRED

Sunny beach
Childhood holiday
Spent the day
More than once
Damming a stream using sand
No wiser today
