THE ‘BRAIN MONKEY’  MEDITATION.

 

The trigger for this particular form of meditation was found looking down into the monkey pit of Taronga Zoo in Sydney many, many centuries past. Incessant chattering and screeching, one blurr of moving, jumping bodies, and every action only of unfinished purpose, if any at all.

On Peer-Group Pressure.

 

Complained to Papa about some kids who insulted me and hurt my feelings. So far things were O.K. but it looked like getting out of hand and i needed advice to cope.

 

Papa thought a while, kept stroking and cupping his chin, tightening his eyebrows a couple of times.

 

Then he said:

 

“Georg, listen carefully.

ABOUT SCHOOL.

 

He always wanted to explain things, but no one cared.

So he drew.

 

Sometimes he would just draw and it wasn’t anything.

He wanted to carve it in stone or write it in the sky.

He would lie out on the grass and look up in the sky and it would

be only the sky and things inside him that needed saying.

The Early Days – The Changes Are Happening.

 

People started to question just about everything, any rule, any law. And it became truly exciting to live your life in those days. It still is, but in a different kind of way, it now is.

The Beginning and the End of the Family.                                

 

The Schmidt’s received their Letters of Patent in 1483 or ’85, living somewhere in north east Germany. We were now “Freiherr Von Schmidt von Allstadt” bred to be Warriors, trained not only in the use of weapons but also in the consequences thereof. Part of this breeding program was the rule that the eldest son had to marry a daughter of a ‘noble warrior family’ to maintain the requisite number of quarters on the shield.

Terima Kassie.

 

In Indonesia this is the reply you’ll hear when giving something or showing some kindness to someone.

 

Translated it means literally ‘give and take’ but more meaningfully translated as ”I accept and will return the gift someway, somehow in the future.”

 

It implies a continuum, a rounding of the circle of the action, unlike our western reaction of a short and curt, albeit truly well meant “Thank you”, which finishes the transaction. 

 

The Mulberry Abundance.

THE MULBERRY ABUNDANCE.

 

Bright sun.

Darkgreen juicy leaves.

Green mass sprinkled with

white spots, pink spots, red spots, black spots.

 

Close up:

thousands, millions, billions of mulberries.

 

ABUNDANCE !!!!

 

Plastic ice-cream container in left hand.

Bare body being gently scratched.

Reaching out with index finger only.

Just a touch fills the palm with ripe fruit.

 

Faster goes the pointing at each ripe berry.

A sense of excitement,
