Destination

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way in seeing things.

Until spring…

…one does best with what one has :)

Artificial flowers inside San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art. August, 2008.

Unfort., haven’t saved the artist’s or the composition’s  name. But then again, abstract modern art does has a great quality: one can see in it exactly what one chooses. And so in this one….I totally choose to see flowers! :)

Last year, around this time, I was getting ready for my trip to San Francisco…Now, I feel like this summer’s ending, when it barely even started…

Ate and Good

Forgive is too weak a word. Recall the idea of Ate which was so real to the Greeks. Ate is the name of the almost automatic transfer of suffering from one being to another. Power is  a form of Ate. The victims of power, and any power has its victims, are themselves infected. They have then to pass it on, to use power on others. This is evil, and the crude image of the all-powerful God is a sacrilege. Good is not exactly powerless. For to be powerless, to be a complete victim, may be another source of power. But Good is non-powerful. And it is in the good that Ate is finally quenched, when it encounters a pure being who only suffers and does not attempt to pass the suffering on.
