  • Celebration Day — twelve

    I am passionate about the drama, music, and dynamics in the world of Opera. As a French pastry, Opera is a milder delight.

  • Would it help humans one day to understand who visits us first?

    Is it arrogance or knowledge? And does knowledge destroy arrogance? Does arrogance destroy knowledge?

  • Love is higher than opinion

    Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled — thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development…

  • Celebration Day — ten

    Taste is not as richly endowed as hearing, which can listen to and compare several sounds at the same time: taste is simple in its action, which is to say that it cannot receive impressions from two flavors at once. But taste can be double, and even multiple, in succession, so that in a single…

  • Love, Tears

    Love flowsFree of direction, free of tempo, free of shapeIn invisible perpetuity of dynamicsNot towards the pictured beauty but in radiation and attraction And the soul settles, grows, vibratesCarried, lifted cloud-like off the groundBeing wherever one has beenLanding where one has never beenAgain, and again, tears are an inner smileBalancing want into peacefully yearning joyWanting…

  • Cha An Teahouse — Japan in New York City

    Today I walked to one of the most wonderful cities in the world. After taking the #6 train to ‘Little Tokyo’, I walked east out of the Astor Place station, up to 9th Street, and within minutes found myself in front of Cha An. This teahouse is in an area where Japanese restaurants, shops, tea…

  • To Beat or to Grind — that is not a question

    The Turks excel us in this. They employ no mill to torture the coffee, but beat it with wooden pestles in mortars. When the pestles have been long used, they become precious and are sold at great prices. I had to examine and determine whether in the result one or the other of the two…

  • Celebration Day — nine

    In the same graceful manner, and similar genuine spiritual essence with which believers ought to be thankful when things go against their wishes, hard work ought to be seen as celebration. The usual number of circles turned when cranking any of my hand grinders,is commonly around four hundred and seventy, after which a single shot…

  • The Wonder of Being is manageable

    Delight in the sun. Delight in the dark. Eat carefully. Avoid fatigue and worry. Be lively rather than hopeful. Breathe with intent. Celebrate.

  • Apples are evidently not all directly from nature

    Fact is, once an apple falls from a tree, its seeds are naturally to give way to a genetically different tree variety. Only the human hand aims to guarantee “consistency”.
