Let Us Go

Let us go
Billions of
Habitable earths
Are there.
Let us go
The milky ways
Are with us
On our galactic
Doorsteps
And we are in
habitable zone.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

Look around the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.

A house cannot be made habitable in a day; and, after all, how few days go to make up a century.

Iceland, though it lies so far to the north that it is partly within the Arctic Circle, is, like Norway, Scotland, and Ireland, affected by the Gulf Stream, so that considerable portions of it are quite habitable.

Why Did He Lie To You?

because you cannot accept the
ugliness of his form

because you are unable to swim
to the beauty of his thought

because he is deeper than
the ocean where the blue whale lives

because he loves you much more
than the night loving the moon

because what you do not know
may hurt you at the end

you must understand now
that on this situation he must make lies

to make love survive
to make his world a habitable place to move on

A new world in a bar of chocolate

it is just the size of
a bar of chocolate
but it can spawn
another earth
release a chain
reaction on soil,
Mars or wherever
producing life
sustaining substances
water, oxygen, hydrogen
helium, magnesium
plants so that is habitable
as earth within weeks

and if the sun is too far
away for life to sprout
the bar can also shoots
out a potential star that
grows from a tiny grain
to a sun which then hangs

Habitation

In this mysterious cycle of birth & death
He is a habitual vagabond who crawls for a habitable place where he can breathe leisurely?
But his lethargy they point out as a weakness and the hard boiled plump superiors they query about his applicable papers and let down him easily.
Straight away he answered like a man; 'Honoured Sir/Madam, all my relevant documents are with my half brother & sister Adam & Eve.
And it takes me a long time to bring those rubbish back from the garden of Eden for your kind perusal.'

To Music

Music: breathing of statues. Perhaps:
silence of paintings. You language where all language
ends. You time
standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts.

Feelings for whom? O you the transformation
of feelings into what?--: into audible landscape.
You stranger: music. You heart-space
grown out of us. The deepest space in us,
which, rising above us, forces its way out,--
holy departure:
when the innermost point in us stands
outside, as the most practiced distance, as the other
side of the air:
pure,
boundless,
no longer habitable.

Translated by Stephen Mitchell

World’s Clarion Call: Stop All Wars; Love Your Brethren!

Wars spread terror;
Wars cause horror;
Wars kill persons;
Wars maim people;
Wars pollute air;
Wars contaminate soil;
Wars destroy buildings;
Wars ravage cities;
Wars ruin countries;
Wars cause hatred;
Wars are expensive;
Wars escalate prices;
Wars create enemies;
Wars generate ill-will;
Wars instill mistrust;
Wars make the poor, poorer;
Wars make the world,
A difficult place to live in;
Don’t waste money on futile wars.
