Do Not Ask Me Some people ask that human affairs with names, surnames and laments not be dealt with in the pages of my books, not to give them space in my verses: they say poetry died here, some say I should not do it: the truth is I do not want to please them. I greet them, I tip my hat to them, and I leave them voyaging in Parnassus like happy rats in cheese. I belong to another category, I am only a man of flesh and bones, therefore if they beat my brother I defend him with what I have in hand and each one of my lines carries the threat of gunpowder or steel, that will fall over the inhuman, over the cruel and over the arrogant. But the punishment of my furious peace menaces neither the poor nor the good: with my lamp I search for those who fall: I soothe and close their wounds: these are the chores of the poet of the aviator and of the stonecutter: we should do something on this earth because we were born on this planet and we must arrange man’s society ~ 55

~ because we are neither birds nor dogs. And so, if I attack what I hate, or when I sing to those I love, poetry wants to abandon the hopes of my manifesto, I’ll follow the letter of my law accumulating stars and armaments and in my steadfast duty to America one more rose does not matter: I have a pact of Love with beauty: I have a pact of blood with my people * from Pablo Neruda, ‘Song of Protest’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Songs of Protest, Songs of Conscience.

May All Beings Be Happy

“ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED. WHATEVER BEFALLS THE EARTH BEFALLS THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE EARTH� The Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. The Great Chief also sends us words of friendship and good will. This is kind of him ~ since we know he has little need of our friendship in return. But we will consider your offer, for we know if we do not do so, the white man may come with guns and take our land. What Chief Sealth says, the Great Chief in Washington can count on as truly as our white brothers can count on the return of the seasons. My words are like the stars ~ they do not set. How can you buy or sell the sky ~ the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. Yet we do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from us? We will decide in our time. Every part of this Earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of the land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs ~ 68

The earth is not his brother, but his enemy and when he has conquered it, he moves on. He leaves his fathers’ graves and his children’s birthright is forgotten. The sight of your cities pains the eyes of the redman. But perhaps it is because the redman is a savage and does not understand ~ There is no quiet place in the white man’s cities No place to hear the leaves of spring or the rustle of insects’ wings. But perhaps because I am a savage and do not understand ~ ~ the clatter only seems to insult the ears. And what is there to life if a man cannot hear the lovely cry of a whippoorwill or the arguments of frogs around a pond at night? The Indian prefers the soft sound of the wind darting over the face of the pond, and the smell of the wind itself cleansed by a mid-day rain, or scented with a pinon pine. The air is precious to the redman. For all things share the same breath ~ the beasts, the trees, the man. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench. If I decide to accept, I will make one condition. The white man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers. I am a savage and I do not understand any other way. I have seen a thousand rotting buffalo bodies left by the white man who shot them from a passing train. I am a savage and I do not understand how the smoking iron horse can be more important than the buffalo that we kill only to stay alive. What is man without the beasts? 69

If all the beasts were gone men would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beast also happens to man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. Our children have seen their fathers humbled in defeat. Our warriors have felt shame. And after defeat, they turn their days to idleness and contaminate their bodies with sweet food and strong drink. It matters little where we pass the rest of our days ~ they are not many ~ A few more hours, a few more winters and none of the children of the great tribes that once lived on this earth, or that roamed in small bands in the woods will be left to mourn the graves of a people once as powerful and hopeful as ours. One thing we know which the white man may one day discover. Our God is the same God. You may think now that you own him as you wish to own our land. But you cannot. He is the body of man. And his compassion is equal for the redman and the white. This earth is precious to Him. And to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its Creator. The whites too shall pass, perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste. When the buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses all tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with the scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires, where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the eagle? Gone. And what is to say goodbye to the swift and the hunt, the end of living and the beginning of survival ~ 70

We might understand ~ if we knew what it was that the white man dreams, what hopes he describes to his children on long winter nights, what visions he burns into their minds, so they will wish for tomorrow. But we are savages. The white man’s dreams are hidden from us. And because they are hidden we will go on our own way. If we agree, it will be to secure our reservation you have promised. There perhaps we may live out our brief days as we wish. When the last redman has vanished from the earth and the memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, these shores and forests will still hold the spirits of my people ~ ~ for they love this earth as the new born loves its mother’s heartbeat. If we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land, as it is when you take it. And with all your strength, with all your might and with all your heart preserve it for your children and love it as God loves us all. One thing we know ~ our God is the same. The earth is precious to Him. Even the white man cannot be exempt from the common destiny * This letter, written in 1885 was sent to President Franklin Pierce by Chief Sealth of the Duwamish tribe of the State of Washington. It concerns the proposed purchase of the tribe’s land. Seattle a corruption of the Chief’s name is built in the heart of Duwamish land 71

What does it mean to be an artist? “The greatest mistake you make is in thinking that enjoyment is something unearned, that if you know how to play the fiddle, well it’s just the same as playing it. As for the reward, you’re always confusing recognition with reward. They’re two different things. Even if you don’t get paid for what you do, you at least have the satisfaction of doing. It’s a pity that we lay so much emphasis on being paid for our labours ~ it really isn’t necessary and nobody knows it better than the artist. The reason why he has such a miserable time of it is because he elects to do his work gratuitously. He forgets, as you say, that he has to live ~ but that’s really a blessing. It’s much better to be preoccupied with wonderful ideas than with the next meal, or the rent, or a pair of new shoes. Of course when you get to the point where you must eat and you haven’t anything to eat then to eat becomes an obsession. But the difference between an artist and the ordinary individual is that when the artist does get a meal he immediately falls back into his own limitless world, and while he’s in that world he’s a king, whereas your ordinary duffer is just a filling station with nothing in between but dust and smoke. And even supposing you’re not an ordinary chap, but a wealthy individual, one who can indulge his tastes, his whims his appetites: do you suppose for one minute that a millionaire enjoys food or wine or women like a hungry artist does? To enjoy anything you have to make yourself ready to receive it; it implies a certain control, discipline, chastity, I might even say. Above all, it implies desire and desire is something you have to nourish by right living. I envy the man who has the courage to be an artist ~ I envy him because I know that he’s infinitely richer than any other kind of human being ~ 72

He’s richer because he spends himself, because he gives himself all the time and not just labour or money or gifts. You couldn’t be an artist, in the first place, because you lack faith. You couldn’t possibly have beautiful ideas because you kill them off in advance. You deny what it takes to make beauty, which is love, love of life itself, love of life for its own sake. You see the flaw, the worm, in everything. An artist, even when he detects a flaw, makes it into something flawless, if I may put it that way. He doesn’t try to pretend that a worm is a flower or an angel, but he incorporates the worm into something bigger. He knows that the world is not full of worms, even if he sees a million or a billion of them. You see a tiny worm and you say “Look, see how rotten everything is!” You can’t see beyond the worm Well, excuse me, I didn’t mean to put it so caustically or so personally. But I hope you see what I’m driving at.” * (Sexus p176-7. by Henry Miller.

UNDERCURRENT OF LIFE STREAM In Buddhist psychology the process of the changing mind is manifested in two levels or streams. The subconscious stream ‘Bhavanga Citta’ and the Conscious stream ‘Vithi citta’. Each one merges into the other. The subconscious stream is the hidden repository of all the impressions and memories of thoughts that pass through the conscious mind; All experiences and tendencies are stored up there, but they exert an influence over the conscious mind without it being aware of the source of this influence. These two streams of mind being conditioned by each other. * The state of the active conscious mind and awareness Is generally present during the day when one is awake. It is conscious of all impacts and impressions continually received from outside, through the 5 senses or of sensations received from within by way of ideas or thoughts or recollections of former thoughts. When this conscious stream which is constantly receiving sensations from within or without subsides into inactivity, as for instance during sleep, the other stream the subconscious (Bhavanga Citta) manifests ~ flowing like an undisturbed stream so long as the conscious stream does not arise to disturb it through the sense channels. When awake every time an arisen thought of the conscious mind subsides and before the next thought can arise ~ within that infinitesimally minute fraction of time, the subconscious stream intervenes. Then when the next thought of the conscious mind level arises the subconscious stream subsides into inactivity. 105

Since innumerable thoughts arise and fall one after another during the day, so then are there innumerable momentary interruptions to the flow of the subconscious stream during the day. The subconscious is referred to as a state of subliminal activity viz. an activity that takes place below the threshold of the conscious mind, an activity of which therefore there is no awareness on the conscious mind. The conscious stream holds only one thought or idea at a time whereas the subconscious stream holds all the impressions of all the thoughts ideas and experiences that enter and leave the conscious mind * This subconscious life stream allows us to have a memory, conditioning our thinking and action. The Bhavanga is the ‘bhava’ (existence) and ‘anga’( factor) ‘Bhavanga Citta’ is the indispensable factor or basis of existence. The factor of life by means of which the flow of existence or being is maintained without a break. The continuing basis or undercurrent of life, the stream of existence keeping life going. This stream of being is an indispensable condition of individual life. * It is comparable to the current of a river when it flows calmly on, unhindered by any obstacle, and when that current is opposed by any thought from the world within or perturbed by tributary streams of the senses from the world without then thoughts in the conscious mind stream arise. There is a juxtaposition of momentary states of consciousness, subliminal and suprasubliminal, throughout a lifetime. From ‘Rebirth Explained’ by V. Gunaratna. BPS. 1980 106

This essential conscious ~ subconscious life stream is felt as a flow of sensations on the body/mind. The equanimous ~ awareness of this ever changing flow of sensations ~ ‘Sampaggana Satimo’ is what Vipassana meditation teaches, to make us realise our true being ~ www.dhamma.org
