I am continuing to learn about these idea of knowing through lived experience - of understanding through the body's movement. There is a new book out on the subject that makes things very clear. Much of this post is derived from my notes on the first two chapters. The title of the book is Modernism and Phenomenology and the author is Ariane Mildenberg. <br /><br />It's synchronistic that Pema Chodron's meditation guidance to bodhichitta (having a tender awakened softened heart) meshes well with the practice of phenomenology.<br /><br />Thank you very much for your encouragement of my writing. xo Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-54755194527778499912017-07-07T17:18:47.756-04:002017-07-07T17:18:47.756-04:00Another sky poem for you . . . . by Dorianne Laux
...Another sky poem for you . . . . by Dorianne Laux<br /><br />What’s Broken<br /><br />The slate black sky. The middle step<br />of the back porch. And long ago<br /><br />my mother’s necklace, the beads<br />rolling north and south. Broken<br /><br />the rose stem, water into drops, glass<br />knobs on the bedroom door. Last summer’s<br /><br />pot of parsley and mint, white roots<br />shooting like streamers through the cracks.<br /><br />Years ago the cat’s tail, the bird bath,<br />the car hood’s rusted latch. Broken<br /><br />little finger on my right hand at birth—<br />I was pulled out too fast. What hasn’t <br /><br />been rent, divided, split? Broken<br />the days into nights, the night sky<br /><br />into stars, the stars into patterns<br />I make up as I trace them<br /><br />with a broken-off blade<br />of grass. Possible, unthinkable,<br /><br />the cricket’s tiny back as I lie<br />on the lawn in the dark, my heart<br /><br />a blue cup fallen from someone’s hands.<br /><br /><br />Carol Wiebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058087717859112738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-8088564112683133472017-07-07T16:51:03.630-04:002017-07-07T16:51:03.630-04:00Your poem, Judy, and the Hernandez poem give me so...Your poem, Judy, and the Hernandez poem give me so much to think about that I have to look up to the sky to find a container expansive enough for all my thoughts.
