RIP Danish poet Halfdan Rasmussen, died this day 2002
"Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the hate and the torture
Nor the barrels of death's rifles nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the nights
When the last star of pain is falling to the ground
But the blind indifference of the merciless world."

My world
My world traded its stars for bright lights,
My world traded twinkling eyes for fights,
My world traded life for hustling strife,
My world traded bleeding hearts for a knife,
My world traded the songs of birds for horns,
My world traded starry nights for toxic morns,
……

I think i have had that dream 🫶🏽
happy bday Russian-born German writer Lou Andreas-Salomé, b.1861, she is often called the mother of psychoanalysis.
“It's in giving yourself that you possess yourself”
"Poetry is something in-between the dream and its interpretation."

Your words are brittle.

A Saturday spent looking back and gazing ahead.
If we accepted that ever so often our view of the world changes, & with it change our frameworks of knowledge, would we be kinder to ourselves & those who came before us - & maybe even to those yet to come?

Many centuries ago, Socrates and his peers wondered “what is a good life?”
Socrates meets Pogo (in pic), realises the futility of his quest to live a good life. Driven mad, does not teach Plato. So, no Aristotle.
Ergo, no Trump.

While we look for innovation that comes from across cultures and peoples from all over the world,
Voices that don’t align with the narratives of those “power” are being curbed in the name of free speech. Diversity is being the enemy.

The #Mahabharat tells of a blind king with power+capital & no vision.
He learns about the war in real time from his charioteer; a man blessed with infinite vision but with no power+capital.
#Irony of the world, and #krishna smiles.
@devduttmyth.bsky.social articulated it much better 🙌🏽

The only way OUR species moves onwards - and thrives (in+with) the WORLD around us - is TOGETHER.
A world where no baby was killed,
Human or seal, from wars or oil spilled,
Where the greed of a few,
Rampant pollutants-physical and metaphysical-did not spew.
I live, as i do, to see it come true.
