Gettin' dizzy w/it

Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born on this date in 1772 Ottery St. Mary in Devonshire, England.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Kubla Khan Or a Vision in a Dream. A Fragment. In the public domain.

A Puzzle: I see today that everyone on earth wants the answer to the same question, but none has the language to ask it. / The inconceivable is clearly inconceivable / Dogs know the answer by never asking the question, but can't advise us. – Jim Harrison, “A Puzzle,” Songs of Unreason. Copper Canyon Press, 2011.

The compassion of a bodhisattva is vast … It is the wish to free all sentient beings without any bias from all suffering and from its causes, not only in the present but until all beings have become buddhas. Merely wishing is not enough; their compassion impels bodhisattvas to actually strive to bring this about. This requires that they become buddhas themselves, which is no small task. – David Karma Choephel

Knowing nothing, knows everything.

It's enough to make you dizzy.
