MOUNTAIN AND LAKE
The world is in continual change and development: what do we choose to see, how and when? Our position in time and space and our previous experience influences our perception. As I wrote in my book ‘Meditations on a Mountain’:
“Throughout history mountains have evoked many metaphors: do mountains represent a challenge to be overcome or the presence of the awesome beauty of life?”
SOMETHING IMPORTANT
“The single most important thing we can do is educate our children well…”
“I’m sorry I missed your class last week sir; I had something important to do.” One of my students.
MEDITATIONS ON A MOUNTAIN
“Throughout history mountains have evoked many metaphors: do mountains represent a challenge to be overcome or the presence of the awesome beauty of life?”
DYNAMIC PROCESS
“The Buddha taught that beyond this world created by our own senses and limitations, the phenomenal world dissolves into a dynamic process. The true nature of reality lies beyond the realm of language and linear analysis.” Helena Norberg–Hodge, Ancient Futures
NUANCES
“We take a handful of sand form the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.” Robert Persig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
ONLY A TOOL
THE DRAWING MASTER
“Who is not engaged in trying to leave a mark, to engrave his image on the others and the world- graven images held more dear than life itself? We wish to die leaving our imprints burned on the hearts of the others.” R.D.Laing
I think it is quite a wonderful piece of work, I congratulate you. – Neil Postman, 1997
