REFLECTION

REFLECTION

I'm left, now staring into the mirror's reflection
A face, showing the merest hint of resignation
What is to be, will be, as others may have said
Moving forward to tomorrow with a heavy tread
Securing the day's agenda without reservation
Uncaring of any real or imagined imperfection

But can silvered glass really see me deep inside
As it has no intelligence, memory nor perception
All it can do is reflect one's innermost thoughts
Realising it's much more than ones and noughts
It can be no more than merely a true reflection
With no sensitivity to a viewer's shame or pride

It does reverse the image seen, from left to right
We've no control over the way lightwaves travel
But its main contribution is to the way we think
Hoping that the image survives when we blink
But modern physics can make all of this unravel
Yet we all should be grateful for our gift of sight

Premium Member Waiting For the Nirvana

WAITING FOR THE NIRVANA

Physical world runs on the mandate of physics
Controls the levers of life’s complex dynamics,
Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Don’t follow the axiom, you become your relics.

Spread love if you don’t want to be hated,
See beauty in everything God has created,
Empathy will flow unlimited from your heart,
Your karma will give you inner bliss unabated.

On the pages of Geeta preached thus Lord Krishna:
Act unattached on the dictate of ordained karma
You’ll face life unruffled equally in joy and sorrow,
For you’re only an actor in the creator’s drama.

Captive soul unliberated, you come again and again,
Tolerate in repeated lives the agony and the pain.
Glow your karmic existence in the spiritual light, 
You won’t wait long for the eternal nirvana to attain.

There Is a 'sully' Thing Called Love

There is a Sully* thing, called, ‘love’
Among ordinary men,
That bears there, oft, much talking of
Though the ‘how’ is beyond our ken!

Love is the Glue that keeps atoms from flying off together,
And ordinary people know, but don’t know how to tell you
That something magical’s at work, some Godly kind of Weather;
‘O!  Love, if you were just a CAT, why THEN, we could just bell you!’

What makes Love so impossible?  So hard, and so mysterious
To well define?  (I cannot say, the thought makes me delirious!)

And yet, there must be some small way in which our sacrifices
… suffice to bring Peace, Nearness, and to thwart evil devices?

There is a Sully* thing, called, ‘Love’
Among ordinary men,
That bears there, oft, much talking of
Though the ‘how’ is beyond our ken!

*I have created a word, and afterward, justified its creation and use.  ‘Sully’ H.W. Bush is a service dog, whose picture went viral, when he laid down next to his former owner’s coffin.  Many were touched by his demonstration, and so, perhaps there IS such a thing as ‘Sully’ Love!  ;-)

Premium Member The Laws of Physics

(“Shadow Puppet”, 2023, original encaustic)

The wise ones, who’ve figured out the basic rules
Of physical reality, tell us that for every action
There is an equal and opposite reaction.

I don’t know about you, but this terrifies me.
I’ve spent my whole life trying 
To figure out and be myself,
At least after those brief childhood years
When no trying is involved,
And this means looking for what’s real
And wanting to be kind and good 
And figuring what love and truth and beauty really is.

Thinking about that basic law of motion now
It hits me like a tsunami;
If I’ve been doing the best I can in life
What have I actually been creating?
What “equal and opposite reaction”
Have I actually caused?
And is my effort to do good
Itself just the equal and opposite reaction
To some other force 
A creative force that just makes me its pawn?

It’s a chicken and an egg kind of dilemma,
Except in the case of chicken and eggs
It’s obvious the egg comes first.
In the case of the forces of good and evil
I’m not so sure which it is
Or how we could possibly know
Or if it really even matters.

What matters is that the action/reaction thing
Is a dance, perhaps an endless dance,
Although in the moment it feels more a battle.
And it is a battle, for our mind, for our soul
But it’s also a dance
Since it seems the two forces
Are inextricably bound.

And when couples dance,
Even those temporarily at odds,
At some point the dance itself,
And more fundamentally, the music, holds sway.
And in that moment they are no longer two,
Not two that have reunited as one from being two,
But two that are, and always have been, simply
Not two.

Pam Relph

Pamela Relph wanted to join the army, the Royal Engineers, 
Because she was funded by them for sixth form fun arrears, 
But she got arthritis just when she was eighteen and keen, 
And so undertook a BSc at Birmingham in physics, mean. 

In 2011 she won gold at the World Rowing Championships, 
With three others, her team also including Broecke, a cox,
In 3 minutes 27.10 seconds they did travel one kilometre,
To qualify for the 2012 Paralympics in London’s theatre.

She, Riches, Smith and Row pulled the boat through wave,
Along the river at Eton Dorney to win gold in their conclave,
And they retained their title at the 2013 World’s in August, 
But with a new team, as medical ills did make Smith bust.

There they took gold again ahead of Italy and South Africa,
This time faster, 3 minutes and 16.12 seconds to plaster,
And then in 2014 with one new crew mate in Grace Clough,
The team successfully won gold again at the World’s bough.

So as a result of that they will compete in the 2016’s, Rio,
And Relph is an MBE as of 2013’s New Year Honours row;
Her sister Monica, who’s a GB rower in the Senior Squad, 
Got her into rowing originally, where she’s now like a god!


Premium Member Where Would We Be

The contributions of women are sometimes overlooked
 But where would we be without the contributions of Katherine Johnson
 In the 60's she did finely tune
 The mathematical calculations that sent men to the moon

 Marie Curie was excellent in physics and chemistry
 She discovered two new elements 
 And won the Nobel price twice
 For her brilliance  and sacrifice

 Elizabeth G. Anderson was the first female doctor in England
 A historic feat in any land
 She paved the way for the women that followed
 And was also England's first female mayor

 The molecular structure of DNA, RNA, and viruses
 was discovered by British chemist Rosalind Franklin
  She made great contributions in the science
  Her vital contributions can never be  denied
 We honor all these women for the contributions they made
 And they deserve the highest accolades

The Astral Dimension

Outside of myself I am..
Left behind was my physical body..
My awareness is impeccible..
My full body lies comfortably..
My full body lies peacefully..

In a complete state of awe I am..
A journey to the astral dimension
Where no laws of physics apply..
I am fully multi- dimensional
Non linear
Where time is non existent..
Time is completely timeless..

My senses are intensified..
All of which of my senses are on steroids..
My astral body floating gracefully..
With a rush of euphoria..
In this glorious astral dimension..
Feeling so free
With my light astral body.

My thoughts create manifestations..
Quickly and effectively
Unimaginable beauty is everywhere..

I can choose to return to my solid form..
My physical body..
In the physical dimension..
Rapidly and sucessfully..
The thought process allows it..

The I who chooses ..
Is the I who really is..
Therefore the body is only a shell
A solid shell..
That is empty..
It is I who fills the shell..

It is the I who gives the body life..
Without the I
The body would cease to exist..
I am not the body..
For I am consciousness.

I shall always live..
With..
Or without the body..

The embodiment of life..

HUMANITY

HUMANITY

Action and reaction, equal and opposite
We hear, but just what do we make of it
Do we let loose and curse or merely spit
When arrows rain, how shall we respond
It does take pressure to make a diamond
And unavoidably, we will all get physical

One can argue that it’s all about balance
With nods and smiles as merely a valance
As even we might then utilise our talents
To react with equal force, maybe in kind
With daggers of steel, or just of the mind
When angry, it’s no time to be whimsical

Humanity and animal instincts kept apart
And was meant to be from the very start
Yet both have physics at their very heart
The very first instinct is always to survive
And perhaps with luck and skill, to thrive
Yet the desire for good over evil is critical

Lines More Lunatic Than the Sun 9 - 10

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 9

for her 
who looks most beautiful in red orna
i’m carrying the best wishes of those lilies 
blooming on the iron-grill

When the blue-lotus is becoming more intense 
within the rain pipe
i’ve lost the gate-pass of my earthly-birth

this world of secret inclinations and intentions 
written in the letters of wild-jasmine

here to take a step 
there is the ring-worms 
to extend the hand 
there is hydrophobia

so many nicknames for the boat-sinking 
so many infiltrations

here the information from akrur catered much more 
on the skin of masala-muri 
than on the misti-dai
much more dance of the algebra 

when by the hands 
stolen from the sheep-herd 
i’m sweeping the fallen leaves 
it repeatedly comes to my mind today 
that many market-price does not see me alive 
even-then each powder-puff is scripting me 
on the soap-water

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 10

then 
owing to the pollen-grains  
i can’t become a good goal-keeper

even a morning 
overcastted with nimbus 
does not walk 
catching the finger of the clap of the thunder 
courtesy the james-clip 
in her malkosh is playing on 
the caw
the news-paper hawker 
the maid-servant 
though with some different bonding 
with some different lighting

so much lachrymose on the cover of the opposite-water
as if at the gate of the candle-manufacturing-plant 
some one by the capsicum get attached 
the well-being information of the bison that breaks easily   
and after stealing some over-boundaries 
from the store of the un-timely spring 
mingles with the pages of physics 
a ratnti-kali-puja 
that’ve got titillations  from the nail-polish

through the act of walking
i’m 
as i can guess 
going to become drunk-mad

Premium Member MILES AND POLLOCK

The smoky clubs of thought/ where shadows dance and poets talk of truth whispered low/man, a story without end/ can you dig it, my friend/ improvisation’s the key, always unlocked in time, a jazz riff echoing truth in research of a  paradigm/
assumptions about the nature of reality in jazz talk, scales, and harmonies, the framework we embrace/is not life the same? like established knowledge, but thinking out of frame, lighting up the space, to build on a jazz note we create, we innovate, say, give the funky drummer some/
 just like Miles on his horn, exploring what's in the score, man, the vibing brain, a hipster’s thought, where networks of creativity ignite, and a conscious soul control breaks through/
The mind unfurls its thinking wings, a melody takes flight in a jazzed-up symphony of science, burning ever so tight/
a rock steady beat, the rhythm deepens, but the jazz spills over, it paints a wider scene, Pollock's action strokes, vibrant, raw, and jazzy, mean/
Oh, but the freedom in his canvas, a rhythm in his hand like McCoy Tyner’s dancing on the keys/
 improvisation's spirit, always in jazz and graffiti wall art on subway trains sprayed across the Bronx highlands/Miles himself, he painted too, abstract hues so bold, from horn to brush he journeyed, a creative, restless soul/ life jazz influence profound, taking its hammering toll on his body and soul/
man, the tempo picks up, into the evolution of funk more emphatic, much more in the pocket of  James Brown/ ya dig? exploration, a pattern found, a quantum leap into the unknown jazz heap of sounds/ like a jazz horn solo taking a giant step into the ubiquity of a jazz riff, a seed that has been sown across the river of stars/
 In science and music, the spirit intertwined/a quest for understanding, etched upon a circle of fifths/ and the universal wind cries Mary, a jazz solo vast like a Jimi Hendrix acid jazz blast/
 repeating rhythms echo across jazz music and cosmology/ in spoken word harmonies with in and out thinking with room for improvisation,  improvise your life, and breathe it in/  get hip to the rhythm in your soul/ let it flow, man/
Let the jazz of physics make you brilliantly whole/gung-bow-chi, chi, gung-bow/ drums as the backbone to the funk thing/ It’s a strong emotional and spiritual bond into Life, and the physics of the Jazz sound
