March Marching

It's Thor's day … a cloudy and likely rainy day in TulseyTown . . .

Garrison has a plan . . . such as it is, if he can find his glasses.

Speaking of gods: Johann Sebastian Bach, was born on this day in 1685 Eisenach, Germany

From March 7th thru the 25th, 1965, American civil rights activists led by Martin Luther King, Jr., began protest marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Committed to non-violent demonstration in support of voting rights and against state suppression, none of the marchers fought back against a vicously violent attack by state police on March 7th. The third and successful march began today, the 21st of March

Not seeking enlightenment for ego's personal benefit, you no longer have need for territory. So your space becomes a public park, a common ground. Gone is the desire to be a buddha. Remaining is rather the work with sentient beings (including yourself) toward the resolution of confusion. – after Chögyam Trungpa

Creativity, love, light, compassion – none of these come from your effort. They come through you. Allowing this is your task.

Uncontained Longing – prompted by Rainer Maria Rilke's Book of Hours.

For your sake poets, painters, creatives

sequester themselves only that the world,

so transient as made in each moment by moment instant,

might be given to you once again.

Lovers are the poets in the briefest of hours,

who gather your inheritance. Awkening desire,

they make a place where growth happens

with all its joy, pain, suffering and laughter –

all the longings that had slept

now awakens to weep in a stranger's arms,

streaming into you when things and thoughts

cannot contain it. – jab
