1. Slow down your thoughts. 2. Breathe deeply. 3. Shake molecules of tension from your bones. 4. Melt into the beautiful colors all around you. (Unless, of course, you are operating heavy machinery.) #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #Relax #sunsets

"And if the world has ceased to hear you..."

Alison Birch @irishali13.bsky.social · 4d

~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower
from Sonnets to Orpheus II, 29.
Translation by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows

— Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell.

Quiet friend who has come so far,

feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,

what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.

In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.

And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent earth: I flow.
To the rushing water, speak: I am.

Sonnets to Orpheus II, 29

Happy bday poet W.S. Merwin, b.1927, NYC.

“On the last day of the world
I would want to plant a tree”

“We are asleep with compasses in our hands. ”

“come back
believer in shade
believer in silence and elegance
believer in ferns
believer in patience
believer in the rain”

Thank you for your kind words. My best guess is that the painting was based on imagination not on memory, but I can't be certain. My brother also wrote poetry. I plan to post one or two poems soon. Peace and blessings!

Write into the honey.

...

Write into the rain.

—Rick Barot

Write into the smudge in the painting where the pink lays into the green. Write into the plush of his lower lip. Write into the light pouring from the oculus above the baroque courtyard. Write into the whippoorwill that sings each morning, bringing in the morning. The two old balloons caught in the branch outside the fourth-floor window. The sky and its gray flannel suit. Write into the person practicing scales but practicing them out of order. Write into the honey. The story he told about the hierarchies of honeybees. The story he told about the man mummified in honey. Write into his white hands. Write into the smell of pomade. Write into the smell of August, a thug of a smell. Write into each trivial but astonishing trick, like roller-skating backwards or snipping thread with your teeth. Write into the rain. Write into its fall, knowing that the only god you can know is gravity.

John Gardner died in a motorcycle accident OTD in 1982. His 1971 novel Grendel--Beowulf told from the monster's point of view--was a ground-breaker in what is now a common-place genre. However, his excellent books on the craft of writing should be considered essentials.

Black and white photo of the writer John Gardner. He has long blond hair and is smoking a pipe. The adjacent text is a quote from him: "As a rule of thumb I say, if Socrates, Jesus and Tolstoy wouldn't do it, don't."

My quote of the day

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
