“O Valleys wide, or heights O lovely verdant forest You were the pious seat Of all my joys and woes! Outside, the busy world Spreads its loud delusions. Arch one more your branches Embrace me, verdant tent!” ~ “Departure - Eichendorff en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Freiherr_von_Eichendorff en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Ghats

But it was precisely this impossibility of fulfillment in intuition and longing that won the day. One young painter like Runge and poets like Novalis and Hoffmann many passages from Franz Sternbald had an almost bewitching effect -- for instance this passage, when a sunset moves Sternbald’s friend to the following exclamation: If you painters could show me the like in your works . . . I would gladly do without treatment, passion, composition, and all the rest -- if you could find such a rosy red sky as kindly nature uses today to unlock for me the gate to the gleaming land, the home of my childhood’s intimation . . . O my friends, if you could only entice the fantastical music composed by this evening’s sky into your painting! ! Page 66 ~ Excerpt: “Romanticism ~ A German Affair” Author Rudiger Safranski

www.njbv.org When, after a series of questions about desire, disgust, and serenity, Buddha was asked. “What is the goal, the final meaning of nirvana?” He smiled. There has been a great deal of commentary on that smile, instead of seeing it as a normal reaction to a pointless question. It is what we do when confronted by children’s ‘why’. We smile because no answer is conceivable, because the answer would be even more meaningless than the question. Children admit no limits to anything; they always want to see beyond, to see what there is afterward. But there is no afterward. Nirvana is a limit, the limit.

Watch a TV documentary set in an African game park and the response of prey animals like a herd of gazelle to the presence of predators seems unbelievably strange from the human viewpoint. If a lioness is lying at the edge of the herd, watching intently, picking out a target, this fearsome predator is likely only to be eyed briefly, if nervously, but its potential victims before the gazelle return to cropping the coarse grass. We would be thinking, "I've got a problem here. That lioness could hurt me or even kill me. I think I'll sneak away, just in case. Or at least I'll make sure there's a fatter, slower gazelle between me and the lioness." But this ability to project into the future, to be aware of potential circumstances and analyze consequences, isn't present in the gazelle. It is only when the attack commences that a flight response is triggered. ~ Page 9
