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.

History has meaning
It would be pretty to think so
“Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?”
Re: History has meaning
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...? -

Re: History has meaning
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

Re: History has meaning
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...!
happily I also get bored at times even of my obsessions ...
