Are your husband and children also budhist, by any chance. I am thinking of going deeper into zen budhism from now onwards. Sometimes life feels like a big void and I need some answers to many questions. I hope you will understand my anguish,DG
I think I must get a score of about 45, but I am not sure. But day by day, I am getting more addicted. So let me check after a few days, my score would increase then.
Thanks, DG, is your husband also budhist or....? I also intend to go deeper into zen budhism from now onwards. Life,sometimes, do feel like a big void and I am searching for some answers but they all seem very elusive. I think you may understand my anguish !
Dharmagrl, did I say anything to offend you? -why you stopped responding. If I have done or said anything inadvertently, I am sorry. Looking forward to hearinf from you soon. Yours truly, Web_poet.
You got company here. Everybody feels the same way as you. The question is how to make your blogs stand out from the crowd and catching the attention. I still have not figured that out yet, but I do keep blogging merrily.
Keep blogging to your heart's content. But no flogging of others' egos. And no logging when you are not blogging.
Why you are here,then. Keep blogging about your hate. Maybe you just need to release your repressed emotions,right ?
*planet Earth calling to planet Pluto* that sounds very romantic. Most are not as cold as pluto-see, I am here. Men are not from pluto, and women are not from earth, right ?
So many things are going on here at JU. Give some intro about yourself. Then let us see your nice blogs .
Hey, cheer up. You got company here at JU. Keep blogging anyway.
Who is your love-nature or a pretty girl ?
summer noon- toiling women in asian ricefield harvest songs peircing the contryside a time-worn tree a gentle breeze a falling leaf aflutter.... hillside village- peasants sleeping in the courtyard a crowing cock startles a hummingbird Full moon night placid lake water,heavenly mirror Lo, a
Spring morning- the rose petals open slowly the horny wind touches shyly Sweet 16 dame bathes in pool water drops sizzling in her cleavage Vieled slim beauty in the streets of alexandria deep glancing pools refelecting hidden beauty!
Haiku is a form of japnese poem. usually 3 lines of 5-7-5 form, i.e. first line has 5 syllables, second 7 and last has again 5 syllables. But haikus in english do not strictly follow this format. Some of the famous haiku masters are Basho, Busha, Shiki, Issa and raizan etc. Many english poets have adapted haiku form to english. Can
This is an experimental haiku post. I will write one of the lines, you write another. Then maybe me or another shall write the last line,hope there are interested bloggers. (1) june, cloudy sky...... (2) solitary lotus, countryside pond... (3) morning dew, forest trees... <!--
Midnight- the clock strikes twelve moonbeam dances in pond water! An insomniac- on the midnight highway a dog, lost his way Winter night- pin drop silence sad song from countryside pierces the darkness. lone summer noon a still pond a duckling dives-splash <!
Hmmm, I like haiku poems a lot-they are cute,compact, miniature bonsais of the world of poetry. If you I ask me why I like them so much, I wont be able to tell logically. I just like them, . Why does one like a cacading rainbow, a blossoming lotus, or-for that matter- a setting sun. In life we just like many things just like that,intuitively, right ! Ak
I have not read much of Premchand but from the reviews I read, he is my kind of writer. I read long ago about a businessman running shop by the banks of ganga, doing a holy dip every morning and sun worship and then cooly mixing gravels with dal in his shop and coming next day again to wash away his sins. Its supposed to be a short story written by Premchand, but I am not sure ( can you tell me ?) . Rafi's songs are some with which my yout
Yes, a life nipped in the bud is so tragic. But life is like that-there is no logic. Maybe some ppl always feel like the outsider, there is a book by the same name(I forgot the author, do you know?) What are you doing nowadays ?
Very right there, thanks CMs. But the thing that agonizes me most is that maistream intellectuals, academics and journalists of Indian mainlans also seem least bothered about the happenings in the North East, unless there are some sensational news. Does the day-to-day problems of the common people of the North East find no space in the national psyche, ethos and politics? Ciao and what do you do and where, if I may know ?</fo
Cheer up friend. They say, when god closer one door, he opens another. Keep trying, you will see light at the end of the tunnel !
Detective, that scares me off, DG ! Yours truly is a plain teacher, insginificant in the current world's scheme of things. Why did you embrace budhism, any soul-searching life experinece(s) ?
You are right, RB, I also like long poems if they make some sense. But haikus are so cute and terse, compact like the bonsai plants. Do you write haikus yourself ?
Thanks. We are friends now,if i may say so. Can you tell kerouac's or other haiku sites-do you work,what or where,please,if i may ask ? Ciao.
Does kerouac have a website or do you know any other sites of haiku? Thanks,dharmagrl. We are friends now,if I may say so. Btw, what do you do, I mean work ? and where ? Ciao
