Let my voice be the song of the bird in the garden Let my voice be the rush of the waves from the sea Let it be all of the senses, all flowing Let it be whole, let it be free #poetry

“The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao. In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In daily life, be competent.
In action, be aware of the time and the season. No fight: No blame.” ~ Lao Tzu

Perhaps nostr’s ‘killer app’ is simply that it is an empty space, where humans can communicate without just blasting one another with opinions and beliefs. David Bohm speaking about the importance of free and open dialogue to heal society: “We may have all sorts of groups for solving particular problems, but we need to have a group that has no particular problem; an empty space. The word ‘leisure’ in Greek originally meant ‘empty space’. A group with a kind of empty space where anything can go, where all this can happen.”

I feel the same. You can only ‘know’ a dead thing. A living thing is always changing. View quoted note →

“After a bitter quarrel, some resentment must remain.
What can one do about it?
Therefore the sage keeps his half of the bargain
But does not exact his due.
A man of Virtue performs his part,
But a man without Virtue requires others to fulfill their obligations.
The Tao of heaven is impartial.
It stays with good men all the time.” ~ Lao Tzu

“By and by, there will be a great awakening; then we will know that this is all a great dream. All the while, the fools think they are awake, appearing to understand things, calling this man ruler and that man herdsman. How stupid! You are dreaming. When I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming too. These words may sound like double-talk. Yet after ten thousand generations, we will meet a great sage who can explain all this. Or it may happen any time now.” ~ Chuang Tzu

Thought can never be free. Your thoughts are not ‘yours’. They come from the past. They are as old as the hills.

Awesome take. If you know you know #nostr

Lone wolf?

I Am All by J. Krishnamurti I am the blue firmament and the black cloud,
I am the waterfall and the sound thereof,
I am the graven image and the stone by the wayside,
I am the rose and the falling petals thereof,
I am the flower of the field and the sacred lotus,
I am the sanctified waters and the still pool,
I am the tree that towereth among the mountains
And the blade of grass in the peaceful lane,
I am the tender spring leaf and the evergreen foliage.

I am the barbarian and the sage,
I am the impious and the pious,
I am the ungodly and the godly,
I am the harlot and the virgin,
I am the liberated and the man of time,
I am the the indestructible and the destructible,
I am the renunciation and the proud possessor.
I am all
few know me.

I am neither This nor That,
I am neither detached nor attached,
I am neither heaven nor hell — few know me —
I am neither philosophies nor creeds,
I am neither the Guru nor the disciple.
O friend,
I contain all.

I am clear as the mountain stream,
Simple as the new spring leaf.

Happy are they
That meet with me.
