some ruminations of the day ----

   


              The " Enquirer " and the  "artist " are upon two very similar paths.They can both be " influenced " and also learn from others, but they can only  " follow " at great risk because they are both searching for something that is unique to themselves, and actually something that is very close to themselves!  There are no steps from top to bottom that will take them there ( and this is their great solace and freedom ) So perhaps true enquiry, is enquiry without the enquirer and true work the work without the doer.

Gedachte van de dag










                                           De schoonheid van deze dagen-
               
                     Nu de winterzon onder zijn grijze 

                     Deken te voorschijn komt,

                     Verlicht onze wereld, 

                     Belofte van zomerse vruchtbaarheid.

                     De aarde draait haar hoofd 

                     Langzaam en buigt met eerbied

                     Voor de sacrale vlam.

Rumination of the day.( See translation above Helped by a dear nameless friend ) M.





                 Beautiful these days -

                  When the Winter sun

                 Emerges from its grey shroud,

                 Illuminates our world

                 With promises of Summers

                           Fecundity -

                 As the earths turning head, slowly

                 And reverently bows 

                            Towards the divinity.
