Thoughts on Chopin’s Etude in E Major Opus 10 Number 3 (Gorilla Glue 2)


(Part of series, "Cannabis, and Creative Cognition."  Ref:  Leafly.com "Gorilla Glue #2"


Lost in an idealism,
bound 
for relentless punishment;
aways looking
for a light
behind the light,
we all strive
for the majestic,
the transcendent,
the awe.

In each dark outcome
we keep seeking stars,
and hope,
and see beauty,
when clouds block
the sun.
And when our candle
flickers out,
when we have had
our day,
our epic will continue
though our part
has been played.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
