The indigenous Pakeha

"I was not the first man to arrive here. He came from somewhere else. I bought the land from someone who bought the land from someone who bought the land from someone who probably stole it. The sun rises in the east. The weather comes in from the west. I drink tea in China. My neighbour's fog still barks at me, I think he is Alsatian. Either I don't belong to anyone, Or else I'm indigenous everywhere. From "The indigenous Pakeha" Glenn Colquhoun

What is Not

We put thirty spokes together and call it a wheel; But it is on the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the wheel depends. We turn clay to make a vessel; But it is on the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the vessel depends. We pierce doors and windows to make a house; But it is on the spaces where there is nothing that the usefulness of the house depends. Therefore, just as we take advantage of what is, so we should recognise the usefulness of what is not. Lao Tzu

A Beautiful Time

"But a paraplegic in my street Whom they move together with his chair From shade into sunlight, sunlight into shade, Looks at a cat, a leaf, the chrome steel on an auto, And mumbles to himself, 'Beau temps, beau temps' It is true. We have a beautiful time As long as time is time at all." Czeslaw Milosz from "A Mistake".
