"We are drawn to edges, to our own, parapets, and sea-walls."
'Apart', Robin Robertson
They say everything is Freudian. Everything has a reason which our poor old slow Conscious mind is yet to catch up with.
I still remember the taking of this photo. The exact spot where I rode up to, with two dear friends. I was riding into the sea, from a steep steep hill top, as a joke. Just stopping at the very edge, and looking back into the camera.
This picture sums up my entire life.
Yet another birthday. And I am still around. Thank you. For making me turn back and look. In your own individual ways.
There are no edges to my loving the world anymore....
There are no edges to my loving now
The clear bead at the center changes everything.
The clear bead at the center changes everything.
There are no edges to my loving now.
You've heard it said there's a window
but if there's no wall, there's no need
for fitting the window, or the latch.
that opens from one mind to another,
for fitting the window, or the latch.
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi
Translated from the original Persian by Coleman Barks
