TS Elliot discussion inspired by Front quote

[ILoveFront2]

Hi Skyways.. L.O.V.E back!!   Great posts .. all reaching for the Connection.. trains ,travelling..in same direction with passengers on their individual journeys at different paces with different experiences. Add the Law of Attraction( what we say /do/ think, how we act.. are all a product of our conscious self- talk and our choices  (either negative or positive)..  souls.. start to feel the connection to ALL , "we are ONE," living from the soul-level, heartfelt, innate wisdom discovered, seeking inner balance/calm/peace/ and keeping ego in check.?
 Cosmic Consciousness? Self Realization? Humanity Lost and Found?

 I once read ( Emerson) >>"Life is a journey, not a destination!"
It is amazing what one finds on the refrigerator! LOL!
" Be Here Now".. xx             :compute:

YES and said beautifully.

[skyways]

those are great quotes, of course, I love Eliot too, but with the same success
you may start quoting here the whole world literature and entire Wikipedia. 
for this tale is as old as time. no need to dig sooo deep,
the meaning of Front's words is on the surface... all is simple.
as zen ; ) :bowdown: :icon_razz:

I agree..Be  here now.. L.OV.E.  simplicity..  xx

Thank you  my dear friends to catching up the  drift with me on those wonderful Fronts post and Eliot connection @@ I truly appreciated.
My appology   for not be able to answer you sooner....just thinking,
of course, its always better to say LESS than More...(( and may be  I better  just go to my corner now and Keep Watchin'

Hugs to all of you who is still keep that thread alive

 :bearhug: :bearhug:

YEAS, Simmer, SIMPLICITY  IS my Favorite, - here we go from last month.... this one is  for You@@


Simplicity,
like a key of your deepness
or ever spotted success...

...I open up curtains, and invite
summerish dawn down to hall of your house, -
lines of the books
cover up walls up to the ceiling
and hint of gold-smelted shades
hiden on hardwooden floor...

Simplicity –
is more
than I ever imagined, and less
than you ask for.

Simplicity - its the key
of all unquenchable deepness
and ever-spotless success...


with L.O.V.E.!>>
xx

 :icon_eek: WOAH My GOSH! That was a LOT to take in! I've heard of T.S. Eliot but never read any of his stuff. So so awesome. Really. Being a person who writes herself. (nothing that can touch this of course) can really appreciate the deepness of this. Another thought, the Be Here Now, reminds me of 1. the new pepsi motto or saying however you say it. lol and 2. Peaceful Warrior. OMG I love that movie so much I can't even hardly stand it! The guy Nick something pulls the gymnast to him or just touches him and makes him really SEE what's going on, cuz he's like "there's nothing going on" and then he SEEs that there really is something always going on, and Soc teaches him to BE HERE NOW. To be in the moment. not in the past, not in the future, but the present. To just focus on the present, and he did one day while he was on the pommel horse and doesnt make one mistake and does so great. It made him so happy. :-) I guess I will have to start reading T.S. :-) Thank you all for all of this in this thread. Really really great.

Skyways, I enjoyed reading these inspiring poems of T.S. Eliot & poems posted by others.
Inspiring poems motivate you to read beyond and unwrap the lines in order to understand the message and enjoy the artistic way how it is written. My father loved to write poems and limericks when I was a kid (sometimes he still writes one) and I couldn't wait to read them. :icon_bounce:
Sometimes I'm captivated when I read a poem or lyrics (MJ's lyrics  :icon_razz:) 

Front's "hoax coach train" poem crossed my mind when I read this part of The Dry Salvages of Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot:

I sometimes wonder if that is what Krishna meant-
Among other things - or one way of putting the same thing:
That the future is a faded song, a Royal Rose or a lavender spray
Of wistful regret for those who are not yet here to regret,
Pressed between yellow leaves of a book that has never been opened.
And the way up is the way down, the way forward is the way back.
You cannot face it steadily, but this thing is sure,
That time is no healer: the patient is no longer here.
When the train starts, and the passengers are settled
To fruit, periodicals and business letters
(And those who saw them off have left the platform)
Their faces relax from grief into relief,
To the sleepy rhythm of a hundred hours.
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past
Into different lives, or into any future;
You are not the same people who left that station
Or who will arrive at any terminus,
While the narrowing rails slide together behind you;
Watching the furrow that widens behind you,
You shall not think "the past is finished"
Or "the future is before us".
At nightfall, in the rigging and the aerial,
Is a voice descanting (though not to the ear,
The murmuring shell of time, and not in any language)
"Fare forward, you who think that you are voyaging;
You are not those who saw the harbour
Receding, or those who will disembark.
Here between the hither and the farther shore
While time is withdrawn, consider the future
And the past with an equal mind.
At the moment which is not of action or inaction
You can receive this: 'on whatever sphere of being
The mind of a man may be intent
At the time of death' - that is the one action
(And the time of death is every moment)
Which shall fructify in the lives of others:
And do not think of the fruit of action.
Fare forward.
                        O voyagers, O seamen,
You who came to port, and you whose bodies
Will suffer the trial and judgement of the sea,
Or whatever event, this is your real destination."
So Krishna, as when he admonished Arjuna
On the field of battle.
                                            Not fare well,
But fare forward, voyagers.

 

Thanks for this inspiring thread Skyways  :bearhug:

LOVE always
