What’s the difference?
Yau wanna answer
that kind of question?
I do not look down on the literati
How could I possibly look down
on the intellectual mafia?
You wanna answer that kind of question too,
for me?
It was not a question, it was an exclamation !
How could I possibly look down on the intellectual mafia !
Me, I reverted to the oral tradition
a long time ago
it keeps me in good company
talking to Sam Oju King,
on the phone.
I and I still struggling
in the religion sphere,
the darkest part
I stumbled
upon a nicer definition
of Ignoramus,
according to
the devil's dick
Mood I’m in
I just wrote this to a friend, in response to this picture of An almond tree in bloom in Galilee and Mount Tabor in the background
I have been listening to Chorshat HaEkaliptus by Naomi Shemer, again and again.
That song is an enchanted background to that picture - the song evokes the almond tree in bloom in Galilee and Mount Tabor in the background, and the almond tree in bloom in Galilee and Mount Tabor in the background evokes the song - some kind of longing - heart and imagination only….somehow, the song continues to linger on, stays in the air, like Shakespeare’s last syllables of recorded time

''There is a mountain and on that mountain stands a rock and from that rock flows a spring. The mountain of the rock and the spring stands on one edge of the universe and the heart of the heart universe stands on the other edge of the universe. And the heart stands opposite the spring, longing and yearning constantly to go over to the spring, and crying out with great desire to be united with the spring. And so too the spring desires the heart.''
Rebbe Nahman of Bratslav from the Tale of the Seven Beggars,
