All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

The merit of love

I have enjoyed seeing your grandmother sing.
I have later enjoyed seeing your mother sing.
Now I am interested in seeing you sing.
Adaptability is the merit of man’s love for woman.

A society which is mobile, which is full of channels for the distribution of a change occurring anywhere, must see to it that its members are educated to personal initiative and adaptability. Otherwise, they will be overwhelmed by the changes in which they are caught and whose significance or connections they do not perceive.

The virtues eighteen

Serenity, regularity, absence of vanity,
Sincerity, simplicity, veracity,
Equanimity, fixity, adaptability,
Non-irritability, humility, tenacity,
Integrity, nobility, charity,
Magnanimity, generosity, purity-
The eighteen ities will give you
Immortality, as Socrates says.
You have to be in a tension of
Vulnerability to achieve it.

A squirrel squeals...! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

On a hot noon
In mid June,
A squirrel
Races down a black
Iron pipe
Wagging her tail,

Full of energy
Squeaks
In delight,
Her ears alert
Nodding her
Head from side to side.

I watch
From my window
Lying on a soft bed,
In an air conditioned room
Feeling frail,
Just as power fluctuates...

Unfortunately From Experience I Do Know

Unfortunately from experience I do know
that sometimes nothing can be worse
than the sheer pain that love brings
and even if I do not want it so
that at times love is like a curse
that stings and stings

and even where we were in bliss
welded to each other as one
where we had known true happiness
at a time everything of it is gone

and even if we love each other with sincerity
while it feels as if this thrill
far outreaches anything, that it is full of adaptability,
is more intense than any other will

you are not the first
and probably will not be the last
to tenderly love, to quench the thirst

Play Divinely My Tarnished Piano

Your fingers could play these old keyboards
Of this tarnished piano,
Which is our love.

They would crack always the same sound.
Your green nailed sight on this whip crack
Would be a very sweet music,

Strongly keeping
Our reality not to disappear.
You're still my love

Although, sometimes,
I may forget the notion.
You and your very wished piano

Were against my will.
You know I will never be there,
Although once, long time ago,

Choose Any Game Except Reality Responsibility

take time time spend your time
spend your time to achieve what?
time is a precious sacred gift
a gift if used for true worship
for deep thought meditation

time is a dimensional illusion
time is not filled with freedom
time is filled with work necessity
time is filled with responsibility
time learning growing adaptability

time is bending of material form
to our will let water in pipes flow
let electricity power our machines
let electricity illuminate our nights
let wisdom exercise machine mind

dimensional will mind bending space
time thought is vast limitless spacious
