i am inspired by this, zen dog ... "mandala" was not, but is now, in my vocabulary ... for that i thank you. i have a meaningful if mysterious mandala in my very neighborhood, in fact, but i am unable to include my favorite photo of it within a comment (so say the tech gods). thus, i have resorted to a link, if that happens to works in this space and place. Here goes: http://www.redwoodlibrary.org/tower/frame10.htm. And if that doesn't do it, I may have to brave the html hurdle .......
ReplyDeleteStonehenge inspires me (and the video reminded me of that), though I've never been there. I love the end of Tess of the D'urbervilles because it takes place at Stonehenge--one person's tiny tragedy, of no consequence or ripple, playing out in this ancient circle... Thanks...
ReplyDeletethe mandala i pass and ponder nearly every day is pictured within the last post on my own blog. i couldn't seem to post it over here ... oh, well ... but SHARING virtual spaces is nice. my mandala is your mandala, etc.......
ReplyDeleteHey Zen Dog,
ReplyDeleteI was just frantically googling Carl Jung's Red Book and found that aside from an exhibit on it at the Rubin Museum in NYC...which also happens to have an exhibit on Mandalas...(a word I'd never heard till last week is suddenly everywhere!) http://www.rmanyc.org/mandala...class field trip?
I ride an old BMW air cooled motorcycle...which actually perfers to be in motion otherwise it might over-heat.....when riding
ReplyDeleteafter a while I settle back to the familiar sound of the engine....
the feeling of contentment that this brings allows me to let go of what ever is binding me and I go into a kind of free fall and a fascination and understanding envelopes me... It starts with
my imagining the inner working of the engine...the movement of the cylinders, the valves...I imagine the revolutions and rotations of all the various components involved in my propulsion.....then I am ready to delve into any subject that pops into my mind....
In general I always look backward.... the problem is that if you ruminate for too long you turn into salt!
You were missed last night, Zen D.
ReplyDeleteLet go with your Lego!
