Ascension 2014
Ascending at the
Dignified pace necessary
For mystical climbs;
Elevation to
Heaven on earthly estates;
Horizon aglow!
Alpha et Oméga 2014
Une
évolution…
Dépersonnalisation;
Énergie commune!
Mission accomplished!
Me at the end of a workday!

Art and
Morality
Two close scales; two far
Away poles. One relation
Close and harmonious,
The other keenly
Aware of conflicting
Tensions between them.
Art can be vital
To our moral health; it brings
Into play, expresses,
Purges emotions
And energies that in real
Life situations
Could be harmful and
Destructive. It allows us
Without any risk
To explore in depth
The essential natural
Endless archetypes
Of human virtue
And socially meaningful
Interactive deeds.
Appreciating
Art is a contemplative
Attention to the
Uniqueness of its
Objects, and respecting and
Loving them for what
They are, despite their
Perceived apparent flaws…
It’s all in the head!
Art enlarges the
Scope of individual
Freedom, by spreading
Awareness of our
Options for action and throes
At human bearings
Beyond those that are
Discernible in everyday
High paced society.
Art enhances our
Human vitality through
A keen, more vivid
Perception of colours
Forms, and sounds of which we are
Not often aware,
And a more intense
And clarified awareness
Of values as such.
Nevertheless, art
Can also be morally
Dubious or harmful.
Disinterested
Calmly contemplative
Aesthetic attitudes
Have forever faced
Very critical challenges.
It is claimed that
Art stimulates some
Passions better
not aroused;
It’s ideation’s
Unequivocal
Best friend to realize and
To enjoy morally
Deplorable trends.
If freedom can be enhanced
By art, it can too
Be diminished by
Art works that present current
Stereotypes, fashions
In attitudes, and
Actions farouche or debased
Visions of human
Nature as if these
Alone were the available
Models for a rich
Life, a little ground
For confidence that the search
For innovation
Or la difference
In art reliably leads
To morally grave
And wise rendition
Of human problems intent
For our salvation.

The Vedas
The beginnings of
Philosophical queries
In Vedic wisdom;
Hymns to nature-gods
And recipes for rituals,
Cosmological,
Moral prescriptions,
And mythical reflections
Upon transcendence,
Revealed to only
Clear-minded sages; they saw
The truth from afar;
Different points of view
To answer a perennial
Question: What did the
Universe come from?
A perpetual tussle
They recorded well
Between existence
And non-existence, with hints
Tersely Agnostic …
The passive gods,
Themselves part of the cosmos,
Are for ever quiet!
The right answer then,
A theology it’s not;
An ontology
Of ubiquitous
Consciousness it has become.
No object can be
‘Worshiped’ absent of
The subjective spring of an
Action, thought or speech…
Veda; the answer
Of all preoccupations,
Panacea for all!

Alienation
Social evil, one
Of harmful fragmentation,
Disruption, separation
Which sunders what must
Belong together; it’s a
Marxian theory
Deprived of social
Political coherence,
Turned inward, direct
Aspirations to
Transcendent elusive gods
Never responding…
Unhappy conscience,
Separated from its own
Essence…parodies
In which we are
Part and parcel, pretending
To be elated
By an exciting
Complex electronic world…
Eschew it you must! Wednesday, 27 November 2013

Aesthetic judgement
Waves lapping at the hull
Made it a pleasant
Excursion except for
The atoned voice
Of the somewhat eager
Gondolier,
Light years away
From my
Vacationing mind,
And a surreptitious redolence
Everywhere breathing.
Experiencing aesthetic
Duress while
Attempting to be normal
In the ultimate tourist experience,
Can lead to some rather
Picaresque acumen!
Beauty attributes
A form of value
To something of whatever
Kind, distinguished
Both from the expression
Of subjective likes
Or dislikes and
From judgments
That ascribe an objective property
To this something judged.
Like subjective preferences
They must be made
On the basis of an experience
Of pleasure closely
Related to truth-claims…
Which leads me
To the same old question:
Is aesthetic judgment
Really necessary
To lead a fulfilling life?
Arches, canals like
A mind network,
Passing over water
Less than savory…
Beauty and decay intermingled;
Invasive fetid air
In a windless day!
Someone, please!
A muzzle for
Gondolier!

Buffoon
Druid in a significant parody
Of the self, duality of every being
In company of kings and queens,
In triumphant processions,
Tragedies or comedies they are.
He is the other face of reality,
The acquired situation
That makes us forget easily.
He utters and often expresses
In a serious tone ordinary things,
And most grave occurrences
In a pleasant one;
He embodies our ironic conscience!
If he seems obeying,
It is while ridiculing authority
By an excessive alacrity.
If he reminds you
Of your shortcomings and your faults,
He does it bowing down
Obsequiously.
Despite his comical appearance,
He is our tattered conscience,
Well understood and assumed
Like our twin.
He is a factor of progress
And balance,
Especially when he disconcerts us.
He compels us to search
For inner harmony
At a superior level
Of integration.
He is the expression
Of our intimate multiplicity
And our hidden discordance.
He is all of us
At one time or another.

Abandonment
Term, rhetorical
In its essence, the absence
Of authority
In ethical or
Moral form, external of
Oneself; one might have
Expected to find
Such an authority in
Either religion
Or from a wrongly
Understood natural world
And discover that
There is none; it leads
One to feel abandoned,
A prelude to reach
Authenticity
In one’s life; autonomy
Of the real good will…

Birth
Singularity,
In a hot and dense state
that
Continues to grow…
Our space expanding,
Carrying galaxies with
It, like spots on an
Inflating ballon,
Until it bursts releasing
Even more shakti…
N.B: Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of
physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes…another
speculation that will lead nowhere until we humble ourselves and redefine our
place in the universe as mere atoms benefiting from the unfathomable vast
energy that surrounds us… we certainly cannot assume to know the secret of the
origin of the universe and worship it as a deity!

Que

Le nectar

Qui sont

Pour

Sa colonie,

Indispensable?
Son rôle

Zélés, car

Infatigable,
Essentiel

Pour une
nature féconde,
Il est admirable!

Call for justice!
Once more, we rode across
An empty land; a dead land!
Shallow depressions
In the limestone floor,
Held sloughs of glutinous thoughts,
Black mud of despair
Crusted with scabs of
Negative feelings; the world
Or rather its dwellers
Has become a dreadful
Place for many innocents
Whose only error
Was to be present
When certain bully countries
Wanted to pursue
A Machiavellian
Plan to take over other lands;
It will backfire!
Une
révélation;
Réalité
mystérieuse;
Prophétie,
vision…

De la

Sa défaite

Sur ses

La lumière

Nos
dernières aspirations;
La bête
