Blondin & Other Poems

ByBrian Taylor

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
These poems are the bubbles that stream away from the stern of the small boat of life as it crosses the vast ocean of being. Fragile, inconsequential bubbles of livingness. Oxford's colleges and ghosts. The Far East's hunger for life and concrete jungles. Theravada monks still proclaiming in the Buddha's own words, "All things are suffering, all things are impermanent, all things are not self. Nibbana is the Highest Happiness." There is the contrast between the teeming multiplicity of living beings and the utter freedom and stillness of the Unconditioned State that runs like a crack through the Universe. Through this crack beings escape from the burden of becoming. Through it they return again. From one lifetime to the next. From one moment to the next. (222 pages)
