tariki Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 More from T S Eliot, these words really struck....... You can receive this: "on whatever sphere of beingThe mind of a man may be intentAt the time of death"—that is the one action(And the time of death is every moment)Which shall fructify in the lives of others:And do not think of the fruit of action.Fare forward. Much of the poem (Four Quartets) is above my head, but as one zen master said, there, at the point of not understanding, is your understanding.

tariki Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-treeAre of equal duration (T S Eliot) The only extension to the present is intensity (Lama Govinda) One final garden........ I always love something man-made within the natural colours and shapes and blooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
