Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn’t make any sense.

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:30:36 -0700 21 March, World Poetry Day: the unrestricted pursuit of truth http://oddtag.posterous.com/21-march-world-poetry-day-the-unrestricted-pu http://oddtag.posterous.com/21-march-world-poetry-day-the-unrestricted-pu txt: 2010 World Poetry Day "The Words of Nature, the Nature of Words" - UNESCO
Doubling as International Year of Biodiversity and of the Rapprochement of Cultures, 2010 celebrates two essential facets of diversity: the heritage which is key to human life on Earth. Through poetry and science, humanity has been able to capture a full range of the world’s diversity. From their distinctive perspectives, poetry and science embody humanity’s noblest quest: that which UNESCO’s Constitution identifies as “the unrestricted pursuit of truth”.

With a sandwich in the mouth and smiling I'm just in time to catch the forty-one.

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:28:37 -0700 Magnifico http://oddtag.posterous.com/magnifico http://oddtag.posterous.com/magnifico [txt] "Of Mere Being" - Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) on Modern American Poetry
The palm at the end of the mind, Beyond the last thought, rises In the bronze decor, A gold-feathered bird Sings in the palm, without human meaning, Without human feeling, a foreign song. You know then that it is not the reason That makes us happy or unhappy. The bird sings. Its feathers shine. The palm stands on the edge of space. The wind moves slowly in the branches. The bird's fire-fangled feathers dangle down.
