Polaroid Self Timer #192
This all mechanical and all metal device (Made in Japan) fits snuggly over the shutter button of a Polaroid 100 – 400 series folding pack camera. Turning the small knob sets the mechanical timer for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. That’s just enough time to race across the room, sit on the couch, smile, and adjust one’s hair before the "Click".

there's so much hope in having a baby, in the smiles, the cute, the laughter, but when you hit toddlerhood, you have to stop and breathe to remember the hope is still there on the other side of it all.
i've been realizing very clearly lately something I've known for a while in the back of my mind: my daughter is a high-need child, the kind of child who is like a wild filly, needing to be gentled, to be safe, to know she is loved more than she needs limitations. she is like her mother, sensitive, strong-willed, very passionate.
this weekend, I've been trying to breathe, trying to remember who I am and why I love, taking a moment to look ahead to what is beyond this moment when I just can't fix everything at once.
(I've got a TON of comments to return, and a crazy, crazy week before another wedding on Saturday! Please forgive me if I don't get back right away!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way to which mankind may hold
Is not the eternal way.
Eternal truths cannot be told
In what men write or say.
The name that may be named by man
Is not the eternal name
That was before the world began
Or human language came.
In that the namable took root,
The tree of fire and force,
Which, having blossomed and borne fruit,
Returns then to its source.
Who warms his body at that fire,
Sees nothing but its smoke;
But he who puts aside desire,
The flame’s self will invoke.
These two things are the same in source
But different in name;
Who solves this mystery has recourse
To that from whence he came.
................................. Charles H. Mackintosh (1926)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God (the great everlasting infinite First Cause from whom all things in heaven and earth proceed) can neither be defined nor named.
For the God which can be defined or named is but the Creator, the Great Mother of all those things of which our senses have cognisance.
Now he who would gain a knowledge of the nature and attributes of the nameless and undefinable God, must first set himself free from all earthly desires, for unless he can do this, he will be unable to penetrate the material veil which interposes between him and those spiritual conditions into which he would obtain an insight.
Yet the spiritual and the material, though known to us under different names, are similar in origin, and issue from the same source, and the same obscurity belongs to both, for deep indeed is the darkness which enshrouds the portals through which we have to pass, in order to gain a knowledge of these mysteries.
................................. G.G. Alexander (1895)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Existence is beyond the power of words
To define:
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately
Sees to the core of life
Or passionately
Sees the surface,
The core and the surface
Are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.
................................. Witter Bynner (1944)

Personal Thoughts from August 07, 1976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy is one.
Individuals are parts of that one.
Individuals through a source such as Love
(or other emotion or virtue) are one.
Thoughts are a source of energy.
Energy is neither created or destroyed.
Thoughts are neither created or destroyed.
Individuals are tuned-in to thoughts.
We do not think; we experience thought.
Our level of development is how we use
these thoughts to experience other
thoughts.
We are actually experiencing energies.
Our level of development is how we can
tune-in to these energies.
Our true purpose is to think and develop;
think and develop; become the source of energy.

A Personal Haiku (05/05/2021)
============================
The Dao to humans
as lakes and oceans to fish
existence unknown
============================
A Couple of Haiku Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tao gives birth to One
One gives birth to yin and yang
then birth to all things
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Yin and the Yang
they're not really opposites
complementary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

A haiku question
Is it wise to seek wisdom?
Ask someone who knows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seek and you shall find
ask and it will be given
those who are wise know
