Uitzicht

Vanuit mijn stoel kan ik vanavond zien :

ter rechterkant het stijgen

van de bijna volle maan.

Op links – en heerlijk moe –

een snurkend doggie

op een ruime autoachterbank

daar tussen blinken over het water

rode, groene en ook vast-witte bakens

hun loodsend licht het helder-duister in

Stahlbrode (D), 24 september  2007

Spreeuwen

De vogels in de hoge spanningsmast

zijn sociaal bevlogen en kwetteren er op los

Soms is opeens de tijd gekomen

dan worden kabel en pylon verlaten :

de zwerm dikt in, dijt uit, doet zijn ronde

en strijkt aan ’t eind massaal weer neer,

het gesprek hervattend waar ’t eerder stokte

Purbach (A), 5 oktober 2007

Zeven zwanen

Zeven zwanen grijs en wit

stijgen vleugelzwiepend op

koersen in formatie aan

op groener gras en ander water

Ze laten de reeën achter in het veen

bruinblinkend in de vroege ochtendzon

die – door mij geholpen –

aan zijn cirkelboog begint 

Hammer Deich/Waakhausen (D), 21 september  2007

Muizenissen

dode muizen worden mij gebracht

en af en toe een vogeltje

als blijk van waardering

zo denk ik maar

voor de stukjes vis

gemengd door de dagelijkse brokjes

wie zal het ook weten

Doppie de kat waarschijnlijk

want dat is de brenger

van deze dierbare presentjes

PHASE 4 (ARIES 4°): TWO LOVERS STROLLING ON A SECLUDED WALK.

KEYNOTE: The progressive polarization of energies needed for fulfilling one's life function.

In order to respond fully to the potentialities released by a sense of identification with a greater Whole, the human being should be himself whole. An interplay of bipolar energies is needed to provide a sustained and dynamic "resonance" to any superior and encompassing form of life. This may imply a temporary withdrawal from routine activity, i.e. a "secluded" process. It is not, however, a closedprocess. The positive and negative polarities do not meet in a closed circuit, reconstituting a neutral state of potentiality. They operate in dynamic, open, unresolved togetherness in contact with the surrounding energies of nature.

This symbol characterizes the fourth stage of the first five-fold sequence of phases: the stage of dynamic and unresolved POLARIZATION. It introduces the basic means - one might say, the technique - to establish consciousness in the world of duality.

Boer en koeien  

De roepende boer leidt z’n koeien

door de ondergaande zon

naar stal

De tijd staat stil en

de kleuren fel,

weerspiegelen in de bebrugde sloot

waarover als laatste de roeper

z’n fiets bestierd.

De koeien - door de dag gegraasd -

kiezen eensgezind en loeiend

voor kudde en de nacht

                                                   Waakhausen (D), 19 september 2007

Gedichten - en ook sommige gedachten -

zijn net kakelverse bellenblazen

zijn uitgeademde geest

vormvast neergeslagen

zijn door de wind gedreven

door de zon beschenen

zijn kortstondig en megabroos

wonderschoon en weergaloos

Leonard Cohen will be passing through Holland on the 2013 Tour : 18 September 2013 at Ahoy. Rotterdam  

I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do - it's getting late.
I've so little time and I'm only passing through."

Passing through, passing through.
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,
glad that I ran into you.
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand,
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
"Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little Kain.
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through."

Passing through, passing through ...

I was with Washington at Valley Ford, shivering in the snow.
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
even though they know they're only passing through"

Passing through, passing through ...

I was with Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night before he died.
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two" (ah, the fool)
"Yankee, Russian, white or tan," he said, "A man is still a man.
We're all on one road, and we're only passing through."

PHASE 3 (ARIES 3°): THE CAMEO PROFILE OF A MAN, SUGGESTING THE SHAPE OF HIS COUNTRY.

KEYNOTE: The sustaining power of the Whole, as the individual identifies himself with It’s life.

Having become objectively aware of his nature and his basic humanity, the individualizing person finds power and inner security in realizing his essential identity with the section of the universe in which he operates. He and it seem to his consciousness united in a cosmic-planetary process - in a "participation mystique." Metaphysically expressed, this is the concept of the identity of Atman and Brahman. In another sense, through his ability to identify himself with the complex of life activities surrounding him, the individual person can become truly, not only an image and representation of the Whole of his natal environment (local, planetary and perhaps eventually cosmic), but an agent through whom the Whole may express itself in an act of creative resonance and outpouring. This is the avatar ideal — the ideal of a "transpersonal" life and consciousness totally consecrated to and directed by a divine Power. This Power can also be conceived as the archetypal Self, the Christ-principle as it operates in and through an individual person and destiny who have become its outward manifestation in order to meet a collective human need.

The concept of the formal-structural identity of the universal macrocosm and the human microcosm is a very important one, as it manifests itself at many levels. It provided an inner sense of security and harmonic strength to archaic man. To the modern individual assailed by surface evidence of meaninglessness and futility it gives a feeling of participation in the vast tide of evolution. It is the answer to the tragic sense of alienation so prevalent today.

This symbol characterizes the third stage of the first five-fold sequence of phases: the stage of PARTICIPATION IN A GREATER LIFE.
