Ruminations of the day - for all time travellers ( not for beginners ! Not for those that know everything .But for those who walk un-knowingly between the darkness and the light !

                 We are all consigned to the forgotten history of time when we die! The important thing is to wake up from that unconscious dream whilst we are ALIVE!
                                   Art

     Illumination of the day-Sometimes I just wish, that it wasn't quite that easy -Chipping away at marble, flickering light upon the canvas, time capsules of novels and sonorous sonnets. I just wish that it wasn't so damned easy -That it wasn't just here now in everyday life!

The Brown mug

                          
                                   The Brown Mug


              As I contemplate

              The brown mug,
,,
               That I made some

                Sixty years ago,

               I feel vertigo -

               Stare dizzily

               Over life's panorama -




               How times' topography

               Has deceived us -

               By its slow increments,

              Time has made 

              A seamless passage,

             Towards today.

             Places people, family-

              Rainbow bubbles

             That hold us, then break -




              And yet I remember

              As a young man,

              Centering the clay

              On the spinning wheel -

              Feel my fingers forming

              The sides of the brown mug.

Beermat meditations -

Because I now have Nederlands citizenship I thought that I should make the effort to translate (with the help - lot of help from Maaike ) And anyway its great to see something translated ,it seems different ,often in a good way MAYBE I HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED !.

                                  Rivier


             De rivier stroomt 

             Door mijn aderen,

             Op het ritme van

             Mijn ademhaling -

             Soms zingend in

             Het zonnenlicht,
  
             Dan weer verdwijnend

             In donkere grotten -


            De verborgen kracht

            Die alles in leven houdt

            In zijn goedheid ,

            Drijvend -

            Een concerto grosso -

            Naar de oceaan

            Van oneindigheid -
