Heaven on earthly estates; 

Horizon aglow!

Alpha et Oméga 2014

Une évolution…

Dépersonnalisation;

Énergie commune!

Alighieri, Dante

Damnation regions;

Souls, eternal punishments;

Deserved for their sins?

Nine levels of Hell,

Descending conically

Into Earth’s bowels…

The first is Limbo,

The last, Lucifer’s abode,

Then Purgatory…

Guided by Beatrice,

Paradisio he discerned;

‘Qui manco possa’!

Alchimie

Action fébrile

Et tressaillements soudains;

Transmutations…l’or…

Or potable en vue

D’atteindre une longévité

Corporelle…védique!

Assemblée

Soupçons, inquiétudes,

Consciences troublées; sa fin

Frappait à sa porte!

L’arc-en-ciel; révélation

D’un nouveau pacte.

Synthèse de l’eau et

Du feu; communion de la

Vie…fausse énergie!

Passage au corps subtil…

Transfiguration?

Solar Bird

Mythological

Dance to atone one’s earthly

Sins for redemption.

Agriculture

Cultes agraires,

Innombrables en symboles;

Cérès couronnée…

Bible

Dead Sea scrolls; one

More fable to justify what

Cannot be proven!

Agneau

Blancheur glorieuse;

Triomphe du renouveau;

La victime propice!

King of the bird kind;

Disconcerting attributes;

Spiritual flight…

Apparition de l’esprit

Dans la Création…

Par excellence; son ascendance

Libéra Adam…

Renversement de

L’ordre établi, prouesses,

Équilibre critique! 

Prière

Purification,

Ablution rituelle;

Force invisible!

Tsunami

Liquide carnivore,

Dévore tout sur son passage;

Asepsie forcée! 

Rain

Tears tumble from afar,

Their target always waiting;

Immediate relief!

Le bonheur de tous les jours!

Cratères de folies;

Contours nouveaux apparaissant;

Délire et démence!

L’âme, une fiction

Âme où vas-tu

Quand je suis anesthésié?

Es-tu vraiment là?

Or

Bizarre, cette clarté?

Elle éclabousse tout sans rien

Éclairer! Mystère!

Nadir

Through the blue glass panes
Appears a hapless coffle

Of crippled visions.

I cannot placate

My restive consternation;

I reached my nadir! 

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.

That ceiling; not real

Despite its fading contours…

Tricky 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!
