Winter

"WINTER" the beautiful season of suspension where we find our true selves hibernating under sacred blankets of wisdom won dreaming of all the days past, gone in the never complete and we dream in songs of the other life approaching beautiful, inviolate, lilting pure, lighter, pristine, more truer than true than the heavy coloured cloaks covering lost victories in the dedicated Obscure never wrong never won (LadyLabyrinth/ 2021) vcb-llb (john 1:42 NIV) “In Exile”, The Silver Tree/Lisa Gerrard https://youtu.be/fjXqfjjFK_k (john 1 NIV) “O light! This is the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.” (Albert Camus, L’été) “A poet is a blind optimist. The world is against him for many reasons. But the poet persists. He believes that he is on the right track, no matter what any of his fellow men say. In his eternal search for truth, the poet is alone. He tries to be timeless in a society built on time.” (Kerouac) "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." (Carl Sagan) “There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.” (Aldous Huxley) "As Above, So Below" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_above,_so_below https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/as-above-so-below-meaning/ https://wikireligions.com/as-above-so-below/

"My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me never to delight in praise or to be distressed by reproach. Before my Soul taught me, I doubted the value of my accomplishments until the passing days sent someone who would extol or disparage them. But now I know that trees blossom in the spring and give their fruits in the summer without any desire for accolades. And they scatter their leaves abroad in the fall and denude themselves in the winter without fear of reproof."

"And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief." Khalil Gibran

"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go. We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go. This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go."

“Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.” (Jami)

I knew a man once who counted his days cataloguing stories, numbers. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Xx. (Cephas (Aramaic) and Peter (Greek), both mean "rock". vcb-llb.
