The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers
ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown
deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near
the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the
Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing
of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its
muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky
rivers.
My soul has grown
deep like the rivers.

Lost
“I live through risk. Without risk there is no art. You should always be on the edge of a cliff about to fall down and break your neck.”

THE CURRENT CHALLENGE
Fri Dec 07, 2012
This week's
challenge:
'Close'.
'Close'.
“Freedom is not a
constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." In fact, there is no
such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept.
There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the
process of making choices. In this process the
degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice
of life.” ― Erich Fromm
