History has meaning

Post by tarbaby » February 15th, 2013, 12:55 pm

It would be pretty to think so
What’s new under the sun? Genesis, Ecclesiastes differ

History is not repetitive; life is not circular; we do not live only in eternal cycles of birth, growth, death and decay. We are not on an endless treadmill. Ecclesiastes is antithetical to the notion in Genesis that history has meaning, purpose and direction; it is linear, continuous; it has an objective and significance.

tea-cups
half-moons
& nebulaes ...

beyond my will
& through my dreams
strange & familiar footprints
made me
monologue
&
dialogue
with Kafka & Borges too much lately
about the needle´s burocracy
and the knife´s fatality

do I own an abstraction?

tea-cups
half-moons
& nebulaes

I wish I can quit
just saying
"hey, I don´t play no more"
& forget it all

(the world laughs
complains,
snores,
rains & shines
I guess it´s enough
as an answer)

-yeah, I´ve been feeling like Gregory Samsa lately, what can I do...? :roll: :lol: :( :evil: :? -

beyond my will
I lost touch with the world
I can not make sense of it anymore
beyond my will to change anything
except myself maybe


half moons and tea with the tillerman

too much time with Camus and Nietzsche and Freud
familiar and strange
uncanny
I proceed with caution
going with the flow of the data from my senses.
try to rise above my confusion
I got the prefrontal cortex blues again

one of these days I need to get serious about Zen :|

Our God is the God of creativity who set imagination and creativity into motion eons ago, a process that continues to today.

... well, it´s good to know that at least God is not bored...! :lol:

happily I also get bored at times even of my obsessions ... :wink:
