Poem Artwork

When a man is one with Heaven's will,

It may be considered as one's Path to follow;

When a man is one with Earth's humbleness,

This is termed the earthly attainments --

Accomplishment of Heaven's will on earth.

 

When man looks horizontally, back and forth,

This is what is considered to be the Path

With all its milestones, curves and zigzags;

When man looks vertically, up and down,

That is what is called the Scale of Merits --

A scope of virtuous cultivation of one's Self.

Alex: Unless one eye is vigilant in one dimension and the other equally vigilant in the different one, virtue may be hopelessly divided. The path to virtue, must then lie,it would seem, within a fairly narrow compass wherein each eye remains vigilant in a different way, yet is still able to receive messages from the vision of the other.
Such a statement is, as always a question, too.
Thanks as usual for your gentle goad toward comprehension, however incomplete that will always remain!

Between the horizontal and the vertical, the warp and the woof, lies the point of contact: light. It's all in the weave. Awareness leads to the "cultivation of self" that you write of. John

What if I look at some angle? Perhaps I need enlightenment. Like my nephew, like you, had to study and nearly live at his (Dojo?) listening to his (Sense?) for years and years tells me, "Aunt Jane, you'll never get it! LOL!". Hey, but I enjoy imagining about all of this. I truly do.

Love ya!

Jane
