I guess it would be
a bit of continuity
and a bit of change ,
for the better .....
and wiser ....

Lovely name .
Lovely flower .
To me
it is beauty ,
it is patience .
It blossoms just once in twelve years , filling hills with a blue carpet.
Bringing the sky all the way down to earth ....
And how ..... ?
Happy New Year to All ,

Expansive
Drifting effortlessly into
being by the side of an ocean
all day long
with clear , azure skies
circling horizon
and my heart and mind steadfast
on the golden , light brown sand
slipping through my fingers
like a name reverberating
through echelons of time .

A poem by Van K. Brock
Notes
I am trying to understand why the plain unstained
wood squares in the ceiling satisfy me. The rhythm
in the repetitions of the same balanced proportions,
or the resistance of the wild grain of the wood
to the squares and rectangles, the dense bloodknots
of the pines in bright summer when light at last can
open the recesses of the dark pitched ceilings: all
remind me of those northern timber structures
where the weary scribe looks up now again through me
and finds the forest's tangles in the grain of his plain
unstained coffers and understands, or thinks he does.
How vain to try to give my eyes to his medieval eyes,
or open to his vision of the world. There is a vast field
of sunflowers far below the balcony of Albergo Italia.
Swallows circle around me. In a half medieval town,
halfway up the mountain, we are only halfway to heaven,
a medieval monastery of southern stone above us,
sensuous sunflowers below. I like standing on a tiled
piazza in the air between sunflowers and monastic
rock. I do not want to endlessly circle and soar in the
air between, nor bow with the thousands who bow
nor go blind among the sunflowers' fertile eyes.
One must become vapor or dust, for every atom
to disperse in space, then come together again
recombined and reconciled with the dust of those
whose openings exclude you or at least do not include you.
Listen to the paradox of becoming: it is chanted
from the minarets, interrupting our meditation: nothing
tells us that whatever brings us together requires our
passage through ports never before gone through,
and through which we cannot even think of returning.
I could explode into a galaxy of galaxies,
ever expanding outward and curving back into myself.
Van K.Brock
Van K. Brock is a poet to cherish - and read! - for his sense (wisdom) and skill in bringing the secrets of our time to us without spoiling the mystery. These lightered poems give brief strong light to family tragedies, evidence of ancient, too-present crime. And there are folktunes here, much music in the words for dancing, the washing screaming to be hung "in the sun like saved sinners." -- Michael Mott

Heartening
Heartening to see idealism still alive .
That someone can leave all the comforts of a highly paid job for working for people ,
and is so humble and silent about it is truly humbling and inspiring .

Did you hear ?
Don't ask me if it is dream or reality
for what separates the two is
this one thread thin laced curtain
swaying beautifully on the edge ,
a bit of dream like reality
and a bit of reality in dream ,
and I try my best to sing the unsung song
in a voice that carries my heart
waving through all that mystery
delicately hidden in the morning fog ,
the dew scented fog .

A poem by Bino A. Realuyo
Procession
In memoriam, Father Narciso Pico, human rights activist
Air descends in spirals. On a street,
a flock waits, not in their usual Sunday white
but black, a long line, spiraling as well.
Their sweat you can't see.
Their faces would make you wonder what really
matters to them-the wait or the destination,
something you often asked: the now or what comes next.
In this village, whoever dares ask that question
does it in murmurs, in twists of fingers,
like their ears and eyes, attentive to every house
they pass: who still lives there, who doesn't,
what's gone, what remains, their names, mentioned
every time they think of yours.
They recognize the thoughts behind fallen lips,
sunken skin: where does a dead priest go,
the one gunned down for leaves and soil-
tell them, if not, they would simply guess, if there is an
opening in the sun, then there, into its eye, to watch
shovels rise above the ground, your own, the sprinkle
of soil over your casket, of dust, prayers, and names,
once again, the names of those who will fall next to you.
"Bino A. Realuyo has that rare gift of transforming modern horror into art. In The Gods We Worship Live Next Door he writes of his beleaguered country, the Philippines, in ways that reveal universal truths. The land is vibrant and alive, real with mythical shadows-rituals, dances, work-and, at the same time, racked by persecution and death. The book is passionate without a trace of sentimentality, a compelling account of destruction under a silent god."
- Grace Schulman
BINO A. REALUYO was born and raised in Manila. He is the author of the acclaimed novel The Umbrella Country. His poems have appeared in The Kenyon Review, Manoa, The Literary Review, New Letters, and The Nation. He is the recipient of the Lucille Medwick Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America. He lives in Manhattan.

Liberating
Imagine
filling a clean glass

of freed vapor
each free to form a rainbow
and stir it
delightfully
slowly
with your own heart
and feel yourself
whirling
with hands outstretched
in the breeze
slowly
rhythmically
liberating ......

Some invariants
Surely there are things which are invariant in the flow of life ?
Are there any such absolutes ?
Are there any such absolutes ?
To detach
Perceiving the reality of an end
makes it easier to detach
oneself in the true
sense of the term
from all ?
I want to rewrite it .
It can't be just perceiving .
It has to be
walking right into middle of
fire without as much as a
shadow of fear .
It has to be living
the life that you want to
see around ....
It has to necessarily forget
these words
that shift constantly .

At times
sometimes , like now
all this breath taking beauty
from the valleys of flowers ,
from the meadows in Alps ,
from sweat glistening
on the skin of a laboring human being ,
from the snow white clouds
breaking away from the blue skies ,
from every nothing and something
descends here to be
to be me .

Ascension
It has become a habit
to stand by the balcony in the evening
and watch the sky
just watch the sky
transiting
in feelings
colors
flavors
with a new look
in each of the stages
colors fading slowly
into new shades
a solitary , majestically solitary feeling
in ascension
in mind , body and soul .

The choice is clear
There are times of indecision .
There are times when the choice is clear -
-between transparent and opaque .
-between reliable and not so reliable .
-between gentle and harsh .
Often boundaries blur .......

Sustainability
The most important word , concept , emotion and thought ........
Can our goals , designs , plans , emotions , thoughts , changes
be prefixed by this word ?
We are not there just for a moment . Are we ?
In sustaining ourselves , in preserving ourselves ,
we preserve our near and dear ,
we preserve the future ,
we preserve the earth , with love , with patience , with perseverance , with coherent action .
Systems -- yes , we need to build habits and systems which are sustainable.

In my previous post I mentioned strength of tears .
Yes , it is strength that I am talking about .
Not the vulnerability .
Tears that change the direction of course of your life
for the better .
Which make one look at the world differently ...

Let them flow
Tears wash like rain ,
in the dead of night , right in the middle of afternoon ,
they shower you , to keep you cool and fresh ,
it is a strength to be able to feel the sorrow that cannot be helped , deep within you
and let the tears flow...... like a dear friend .....

As though one does not exist
Is there any need to utter the word love
when it is just there everywhere
hidden in every gesture ,
every effort to reach out ,
without being known ,
as though one does not exist ?

Silence
How is silence born in the heart ?
How does it grow ?
Working quietly together .........
Listening to each other as though there is no other sound in the universe ......
Understanding , accepting agonies of the past in peace of the present .....
To be content to be here ...............
in a home built in harmony ,
for all ,
by all .

for no apparent reason ,
just want to stand and
watch the mountains climb
and tower my imagination .
When will I be there ?

rings of steaming coffee rising in the air ,
so many ways

One of my favourites
Not that I have read much .
One author whose memory is soothing to the heart is that of Pearl.S.Buck .
Life poured itself into her writings with gentleness and grace of moonlight .
The pace was really relaxing . I wonder how she was as a person !
I would have liked to spend some time with her .
I surely would have liked to .

Words
Words are bridges at times ,
blockages at times ,
up to us as to what we make of them !
Occasional silence works
like a fast
to cleanse
the arteries and veins of
communication
and brings us together.

Love
All of us need love - true love .
Love could be the anchor which
helps us to connect to the world
a little more softly ,
a little more compassionately!
I consider myself incredibly fortunate ,
for i have received love in infinite measure.
I can never fully express enough gratitude
for this precious gift .
I wish to return it to the world in
some or the other form ; that perhaps
is the only way to preserve love.

Trust is comfort to the soul.

initial distrust and a whole lot of trust-building situations .
As they say , through thick and thin .....
Till then , it may be healthy to have a streak
of distrust.....

Pleasant or honest ?
I do like pleasantness around.
There are times i get carried away by it.
But i respect honesty more .
For relationships to sustain in the
longrun , honesty is a necessity.
That is how i feel.
I don't have the capacity to be
very pleasant.
I lose out in the shortrun ; i have
gained in the long run -
few friends who are there forever ,
the reason for me to celebrate life !

Peace
How does one get to the root of peace , the deepest root that feeds peace ?
Prayer , meditation , thought , word , articulation , action ???
Each one may have their own path.
I would think that unambiguous and mindful action -
as small as a deep breath is the right step towards peace -
unambiguous peace.

Like light itself
There are times you are choked with emotions without

there are times you feel utterly lifeless

like the waves
it needs two extreme intensities
to make the energy flow ,
freely , beautifully

Impermanance

knowing fully well that
this person called me
itself is a guest

Ends are

stark and illusion-free
reality.

Borders , dividers........
To live , to really live ,
we need to cut through lots and lots of
borders ; sealed borders , opaque borders ......
How do we do it ?

night by night into unbreakable entities
with their own agenda .....

Melting Cheese
I love the cartoon Heidi and the novel Heidi by Johanna Spyri.
Pure innocence and sheer delight to have Heidi's doting
grand father's melting home made cheese .
Even more delightful to watch young Peter gobble it up.....
One day I would like to ascend the heights of Alps to be
with Heidi , Peter , grandfather , the goats , the snow.....
I want to be as resilient as Heidi.

Moments .....
I love the hazy images of the world
through the gentle threads of mild rain,
a certain purifying ,
freshening feeling ......
just to watch the leaves
in their bright green rustle
just after the rain .....
defines life for me.
I live moment to moment ......
Die between the moments.....
through the gentle threads of mild rain,
a certain purifying ,
freshening feeling ......
just to watch the leaves
in their bright green rustle
just after the rain .....
defines life for me.
I live moment to moment ......
Die between the moments.....
Yesterday , Today ......
Today grows on the support of yesterday
into a tomorrow.
Hopefully a better one .....
Hopefully a beautiful one......

Disturbing
Times are disturbing ......
As much for a child as a (wo)man.
As much for an angel as a demon.
Well , we do have a bit of both in each of us. Don't we ?
Endless are the questions searching for answers....
Truely , truely endless .....
Do you have any answers in search of questions ?

I love .....
I love almost everything in nature .
Right from the infinite emptiness of the universe ,
through the sky above us to the dust around us .
All things are bright and beautiful.
Need i mention the green , the infinitely green ?

that makes the world tick .....
I am not sure that i am right .....
I might not be right ; might be....

Learning
How do we learn ?
How do we unlearn?
Have you any thoughts or feelings to share ?

New excitement
The thrill of seeing the words in neat
orderly print is still fresh in my eyes.....
Are the words mine ?
Can i claim to own words ?
Where did they start ?
Where are they going ?
Questions as much for me as the visitor ....

Me
A normal human being like anyone.
Like the idea of sharing and caring.
Like the idea of coherent joint family .
Family can be as big as the universe.
