A dive into feelings of memory, pleasure, and consequence

"A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Human, as if the pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing... What you call remembering is the last part of the pleasure, as the crah is the last part of a poem. When you and I met, the meeting was over very shortly, it was nothing. Now it is growing something as we remember it. But still, we know very little about it. What it will be when I remember it as I lie down to die, what it makes in me all my days till then - that is the real meeting. The other is only the beginning."

C.S. Lewis 'Out of the Silent Planet'

Steve shares an hour of music with you to usher in the first day of Spring.

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere) arranging
a window, into which people look
(while people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here) and

Changing everything carefully

“The Hoopoe”, I See What I Want to See, 1993
Mahmoud Darwish

Peace is hers. Hers is the cosmic bed of clouds and visions
She lies asleep on an arm of water
She sleeps - an image of herself and us
She has a small moon, a servant combing
her shadow, and flickering through our hearts

Not to mold, but to fire from the scent of smallest things
That seminal drop of the impression,
suddenly hard and resilient.

Not to strain, but to float out lightly
Your children born smoothly
perfect in their eyes
suddenly now, and pulsing.

"poetry is" 
Ron Padgett, 1960

"""Where are my books?"" she said.
""They are all in boxes. Stacks and stacks of boxes.""

""When can I have my books?""
""Give it some time. Just a little bit more time.""

Here is a dedication to giving everything just a little bit more time. Enjoy ~

Time says “Let there be”
every moment and instantly
there is space and the radiance
of each bright galaxy.

And eyes beholding radiance.
And the gnats’ flickering dance.
And the seas’ expanse.
And death, and chance.

Time makes room
for going and coming home
and in time’s womb
begins all ending.

Time is being and being
time, it is all one thing,
the shining, the seeing,
the dark abounding.

'Hymn to Time' Ursula Le Guin"

(Live) Skylab Radio - After Words ep 15 with Steve

The drums came in
on the beat of one
to lift my soul

The slurry slap of leather
on a hot city street
The soft thudding sound
of naked running feet

The blood racing wild
along my body's rete
I got the key to the highway
Booked down and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running - 
walking is much too slow
There is my music.

The cry of lonely
in a crowded room
midnight waiting for me 
each day at noon

Dr. Maya Angelou 'Music, Deep Rivers in My Soul'
