A quotation from Cowper, William:
«
All flesh is grass, and all its glory fades
Like the fair flower dishevell’d in the wind;
Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream;
The man we celebrate must find a tomb,
And we that worship him, ignoble graves.
»

Crosspost fragment from FB #japanese #literature group. Murakami's novels feel very #1970s #hipster #jazz Playing with #buddhist #impermanence
The writing style of the monk Yoshida Kenko is informative when approaching the work of Murakami. His "follow the brush" style is a sort of early precursor to stream of consciousness writing, letting his mind play and following where it leads. This is also a great way to write a first novel. So Murakami was clever. #zuihitsu #kenko #murakami

Aged #punk. Recovering jerk, #ODAAT. #vegan. Accused of #nihilism. Impassioned by things I was willing to throw down for when I was five.
I sail a boat, smoke cigars, backpack, love #dogs, raise children, ride bikes, make #photos

🧵 If you're beginning your journey into #buddhism, here's a thread with some of the things I'd love to warn my former self about.
1/5 - True Buddhism is an illusion.
Many schools claim to be representing “Original Buddhism” or “True Buddhism”. This is an illusion. All forms of Buddhism are cultural, and traditions are (like all phenomenon) rooted in #impermanence and #interdependency.

@joaopinheiro While there is a certain esthetic charme to a digital gif like this... i think it takes the whole point of #landart - it's #impermanence - into a simulation of #constancy, that no reality has: #Motion is never perfectly looped.

#Saturday morning. The #november sun is low enough by now to shine deep into our quiet apartment and illuminate the book shelves, the rugs and the fine layer of dust on the cabinets. Sitting on my sofa under a blanket, green #tea in reach, a good book to keep me company. In this moment all is well and I am #grateful. #impermanence

Over the years I’ve tried various exercises to help him manage distress, showing him #mindful breathing, counting breaths, belly breathing, five finger breathing. None of it connected with him for more than a moment. I suppose they were simply calming exercises. But contemplating the #Impermanence of his emotional experience, particularly the sadness, really did seem to interest him and give immediate relief.
