“Your hair is whiter than the jasmine flower, and your voice has grown feeble, as if it comes from the seventh underworld.”
- Sri Guru Granth Sahib

“You are the Ocean of Water, and I am Your fish. Your Name is the drop of water, and I am a thirsty sparrow-hawk.”
- Sri Guru Granth Sahib

“You have come from God, you are a spark of His Glory; you are a wave of that Ocean of Bliss; you will get peace only when you again merge in Him.”
- Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Things keep their secrets.
–Heraclitus.

The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man.

For light doth seize my brain
With frantic pain.

–William Blake, The Proverbs of Hell and “Mad Song” from Poetical Sketches.

Called or not called, God shall be there.
–Erasmus.

After death comes / nothing hoped for / nor imagined.
(Heraclitus.)

Even in a wound there is the power to heal.
(Nietzsche, Twilight of the Gods.)

Does anyone know what is in his subconscious? It would not be his subconscious if he did.
(Picasso.)

True philosophers make dying their profession.
(Plato.)

The more one probes, the more one deepens the mystery; it’s always out of reach.

btw, Nietzsche's book is "Twilight of the Idols".
It should not be translated as "Gods",
since it was intended as a jab
at Wagner's opera, "Twilight of the Gods".

I'd never heard this one:
"True philosophers make dying their profession." - Plato
I get it;
which is to say,
I like it.

I also want to read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib at some point.
Thank you for the previews.

~~Alexander Pope
Windsor Forest, line 11

Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain
Here earth and water seem to strive again,
Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised,
But, as the world, harmoniously confused:
Where order in variety we see,
And where, though all things differ, all agree.

this construction shows how order can arise out of a seemingly random series.....

1) draw three points of a triangle.....
2) randomly draw a point anywhere in the triangle....this is the point S....the seed
3) randomly pick one of the three corners and draw a point halfway to it .....

4) repeat step three many times......

after 1000 points are picked randomly........

after 10,000 points are picked randomly

this figure is a 'fractal' image.....known as Sierpinski's gasket........

Petron , i love what youve done to the thread. Don't stop now! We've only just begun.
GU's not so much fun anymore is it? ha!

Hippi, naiad and HSC, please contribute your creativity to the thread. It doesnt matter what you write and you don't have to go off of the person before you. Just post anything on your mind in the moment! a picture, a quote, a thought, a song - anything.

....or not.

It would be nice to get some more random expressions from a variety of the Elements here.

here's a duet...

Man:

Word, word,
Check it -

I'm a Scorpio,
I'm not a b*tch or a ho,
but, yeah, i like to "go".
Wink-wink nudge nudge,
I'm an Eagle, yo,
say no mo, say no mo,
I fly higher than y'all,
while ya hittin the floor.

Yo, yo,
I'm a Phoenix, fool,
So revenge ain't my stew,
Still, I could serve it to you, -
and you know that if i wanted to,
I'd do sh!t that Montezuma can't do;
Introduce your ass to exotic poo;
give you tropical flu;
make it so you aint never again in the mood.

LOL!

----

Woman:

Fool,
I ain't heard nothin that's new.
I'm learnin nothin from you.
You say you're a Phoenix,
but you know it ain't true.
I got a message for you,
I got some preachin to do.

So, listen up, yo.

I'll make you voiceless,
choiceless, shudder and accept this.
You think you seen life?
Fool, all you seen is Christmas!
Your drunk ass missed this.

What! What!

You a mess, son.
Can't take step one.
Trippin over your cares
tryin to come down the stairs.
Walkin into walls and fallin off of chairs.

I'd feel sorry for you,
but there's work here to do,
and there's work to prepare.
Its the middle of the road, yo, -
and it gots to keep clear!
So could you pick up your toys now,
and put them somewhere?
You dont have to go home,
but, yo, you cant play here.
