Hooray for your new blogspot! I love your representation (can hardly call it a logo as what are you selling?); a cross between a swallow, a mask and who knows what else? How did that come about; what is it’s symbolism, or is that a Coyopa secret?

After reading the Dark Mountain guest post – http://www.uncivilisation.co.uk/?p=186 – I have to say that I was delighted to hear that the grandson of old Bony-Shanks herself, the Baba Yaga, is entering the blogoshere. :-D

Yes! Your words remind me of Hafiz:

“If you think that the Truth can be known from words,
If you think that the Sun and the Ocean
Can pass through that tiny opening called the mouth.
O someone should start laughing!
Someone should start wildly laughing—
Now!”

Thanks again. I think I’m in love with your poem. (:

Thank you, all!
This paradox, of using pointed words to point out the pointlessness of words…
You have to laugh, eh?
And laugh and laugh and laugh…

Whichever way the mind turns, it comes to paradox in the end. Best at that point to give in to the heart, the gut, the super-soul and the myriad other compasses of Being…

And keep writing pointlessly, but because it has to be written, as water has to flow downhill and flowers follow the sun.

Thank you Tom for the beautiful poem! It certainly has shown the power of words to create psychic images and therefore psychic reality and yes, wisdom….though that may not have been your intent here : )

I bought a Hafiz-o-matic Poetry Generator on eBay and intend to use it as much as I can before it dances off the table and into God’s arms ;)

(And thank you for the kind words, Lunar – even in the midst of studying, there has to be some poetry…)

‘Life is dancing on your shoulder,
Flirting with your elbows
And making plans to run away
With your beautiful ankles.’ – That is so Hafiz and Hafiz is my very favourite poet. Bravo and hallelujah! A wonderful poem. Now I shall close my mouth and walk through it again.
