“Let your mind make excursion in pure simplicity. Identify yourself with nondistinction. Follow the nature of things, and admit no personal bias, then the world will be in peace”. Chuang Tzu
Josef Pieper.
I was lost in a world of dreams
Counting every star……………………….
Shining over head……it seems
I was like a shepherds boy
Searching for his lambs here and there and everywhere
You came wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, yeah ya captured me…
You and all your charms…………oh……yes you set me free
We kissed…………………………and the world was all aglow
Then my heart cried
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i LOVE YOU SO x

“The eruption of feelings and emotions that follows a near-death experience, or any event that causes us to stop and look deeply at the reality of our lives, is ripe with the potential for insight & clarity.” – Allan Lokus

“I began to understand that suffering and disappointments and melancholy are there not to vex us or cheapen us or deprive us of our dignity but to mature and transfigure us.”
-Hermann Hesse
Embers – Max Richter
“There’s little of the melancholy element in her: she is never sad but when she sleeps; and not ever sad then; for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing.”
Memories of you ConZu. Rest in Peace until we meet again x
Blue Night – Jimmy Beck & His Orchestra
Clear thought lodges in the Yi,
But in some lines no-one can find it.
If you don’t understand a line,
You interpret it in vain;
May as well paint a picture of the wind.
– Qiu Cheng (12th Century)
the Struggle of the Magicians – Thomas De Hartmann
Being with you brought and brings me peace Conzu x
Black Up – Karl Bryan & Count Ossie

Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City – Bobby Bland
“Dimensions are limitless; time is endless. Conditions are not invariable; terms are not final. Thus, the wise man looks into space, and does not regard the small as too little, nor the great as too much; for he knows that there is no limit to dimension. He looks back into the past, and does not grieve over what is far off, nor rejoice over what is near; for he knows that time is without end. He investigates fullness and decay, and does not rejoice if he succeeds, nor lament if he fails; for he knows that conditions are not invariable. He who clearly apprehends the scheme of existence does not rejoice over life, nor repine at death; for he knows that terms are not final“. – Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu)

10:40am September 24/2014.
With a heavy, broken heart and intense struggle I managed these final words as I watched my beautiful 19 year old daughter slip away…with this song playing in my soul.
“In YOUR light I learn how to love,
In your beauty how to make poems,
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you
but sometimes I do and THAT sight becomes this art”
Today is the final day of my ’30 Day’ musicologyMass and tribute to Constance.
ALWAYS in my heart, soul and thoughts kohzu..with eternal love Dadzu x
Until we meet again x x
“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” ― Kahlil Gibran
“Let not thy heart cling to the things which for so short a time deck out thy life. Let them who have, learn to lose, and they who are happy, familiarise themselves with what may give pain.” Schiller
