A Town, A Landscape Are When Seen

Blaise Pascal
A town, a landscape are when seen from afar a town and a landscape; but as one gets nearer, there are houses, trees, tiles leaves, grasses, ants, legs of ants and so on to infinity. all this is subsumed under the name of landscape.

More From Blaise Pascal

We are like droplets of water in an ocean of consciousness; individual to an extent, but those droplets together make up the ocean -- without the droplets there is no ocean. it is the same with this infinite energy mind we call creation/god. we are not part of that infinity -- we are that infinity if we open ourselves up to reconnect with it. wherever you stand in infinity, you are at the center of infinity. so everything that exists is everything that exists. i am everything that exists; and so are you -- the more you realize that, the more you open up to the full infinity of who you are.
Ocean Water Mind
To infinity then. (bubba) what’s that mean? (nick) it’s something my dad used to say when i was a kid. to infinity, meaning you’d see something through to the end. (bubba) infinity is never-ending. (nick) that’s right, which means you keep going and going no matter what happens or what obstacles you meet. over, under, around or through. there’s always a way. and if you have to chase something to infinity, strap on your big-boy pants, hiking boots, and go. (bubba)

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.
Ignorance Dust Ideas
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. the lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. never brag of being strong. the axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. it cuts them to pieces. but not the leaves. it leaves the leaves alone.
Strong Cutting Wind
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.
Mother Running Children
The trees bathed their great heads in the waves of the morning, while their roots were planted deep in gloom; save where on the borders of the sunshine broke against their stems, or swept in long streams through their avenues, washing with brighter hue all the leaves over which it flowed; revealing the rich brown of the dacayed leaves and fallen pine-cones, and the delicate greens of the long grasses and tiny forests of moss that covered the channel over which it passed in the motionless rivers of light.

Visualizing, creative mental picturing, is no more difficult than what you do when you remember some scene out of the past, or worry about the future. acting out new action patterns is no more difficult than deciding, then following through on tying your shoes in a new and different manner each morning, instead of continuing to tie them in your old habitual way, without thought or decision.
Morning Past Shoes
I'd like to connect with music like i did in the beginning. to have that intensity again, to have a song that comes on at 1 o'clock in the morning and it's the premiere song at that point. it's almost magic because, when you condition for it, it doesn't take long for you to write the content that everyone in the world can agree on at one time.
Song Morning Writing
I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.
Friendship Good Morning Thank You
