spiritual girl Pincones project 5am :Wabi sabi
..
My mind to me, A kingdom is.... a year in Hoxton Square
Five A.M.
Elan that lifts me above the clouds
into pure space, timeless, yea eternal
Breath transmuted into words
Transmuted back to breath
in one hundred two hundred years
nearly Immortal, Sappho's 26 centuries
of cadenced breathing -- beyond time, clocks, empires, bodies, cars,
chariots, rocket ships skyscrapers, Nation empires
brass walls, polished marble, Inca Artwork
of the mind -- but where's it come from?
Inspiration? The muses drawing breath for you? God?
Nah, don't believe it, you'll get entangled in Heaven or Hell --
Guilt power, that makes the heart beat wake all night
flooding mind with space, echoing through future cities, Megalopolis or
Cretan village, Zeus' birth cave Lassithi Plains --
Otsego County farmhouse, Kansas front porch?
Buddha's a help, promises ordinary mind no nirvana --
coffee, alcohol, cocaine, mushrooms, marijuana, laughing gas?
Nope, too heavy for this lightness lifts the brain into blue sky
at May dawn when birds start singing on East 12th street --
Where does it come from, where does it go forever?
Allen Ginsberg

Beyond the beauty of the external forms, there is more here, something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever there is beauty this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present. Could it be that this nameless essence and your presence are one and the same? Would it be there without your presence? Go deeply and find out yourself
Eckhart Tolle

Wabi Sabi
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”
James A. Michener

"If you think you're beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
it's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find --- success begins with a persons will
it's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself
before you can ever win a prize.
Lifes battles don't always go,
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can!"
Walter D Wintle

"It is only after repeating countless practice studies that an artist is finaly able to tackle a great masterpiece.
Do not begrudge the effort required before you begin any undertaking."

"Its the art of the soul at peace-like the moonlight mirrored in a deep lake"
Bruce Lee

"As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail."
John Cassavetes

"Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not." Virgil Thomson

"If I had my life to live over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live o the whites of eggs."
Muriel Spark........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage. Courage is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of love."
-Delmore Schwartz ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art."
- Charlie parker..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Do not interrupt the flight of your soul; do not distress what is best in you; do not enfeeble your spirit with half wishes and half thoughts. Ask yourself and keep on asking until you find the answer, for one may have known something many times, acknowledged it; one may have willed something many times, attempted it--and yet, only the deep inner motion, only the heart's indescribable emotion, only that will convince you that what you have acknowledged belongs to you, that no power can take it from you--for only the truth that builds up is truth for you."
Judge Vilhelm-Either/Or...................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Sören Kierkegaard...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him."
Daniel 2:21.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
" Right. And, as I tell my students, ninety percent of my students tell me at some point or another, "I have all these great ideas. I just don't know quite how to do them." I say, great, you and everybody else has great ideas. That's not what makes an artist or what makes art. What makes art is doing the damn thing. The craft part of art is what gets it done. We all have wonderful inspirations. Your dreams are these brilliant Fellini movies, but you aren't Fellini because you haven't made it into a movie.
If you want to be Fellini, start making the damn movies. Figure out how to use the camera. Get your shot. Then you'll start to find the artistic challenges within that. And if you can keep your craft going and have your art flow into that, then you become an artist, if anyone cares to watch it."

"When I was little I had a theory that you should draw a picture using all the colors except yellow, making it as good as you could, and then, finally, after giving up, you should add yellow. And yellow had the magical property of instantly making everything come alive, it was light itself, and thus the picture came into being. Mike Andrews' score was the yellow for this movie." - MirandaJuly ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
