Bruce, I loved the images you selected. They each went so well with your chosen quotes and excerpts. The image of the mountains and the sky showing warmth, vibrancy and color, helps me remember the excerpt better as it stitches to the related text in my brain :) Another favorite was the last image and quotation… Very nice!
From your comment on the thread, the excerpt (Tarthang Tulku, Time, Space, and Knowledge):
“Space and Time are not simply backgrounds or supporting mediums for our ordinary pursuits and experience; they can provide a very special and direct form of nourishment for our 'humanity' or human nature, which is usually fed only indirectly through the pursuit of sensory and emotional gratification.”
I like how Space and Time are described as ”a very special and direct form of nourishment…” Rather than the ”pursuit of sensory and emotional gratification” I think such ”nourishment” would be a more gratifying, filling experience - like a bottomless cup.
Something else I really enjoyed in the thread was your sharing the Tibetan practice of Sky Gazing and your related Indian countryside walks. They reminded me of the last quote and image from your earlier comment from that thread:
”Beneath the surface of separate appearances, everything in the universe connects to space, heart to heart. All edges are united by deep lines of space. Imagine the still of night, with everyone asleep; suddenly, through magic, the roof of every house is lifted off - all imagined spaces merge, all the secret thoughts flow into one.” (Tarthang Tulku, Sacred Dimensions of Time and Space)
As I sign off tonight, I will consider the roof of every house…
Thank you for the opportunity to comment, here.
Enjoying this journey, Erin
