    dotsWhy is Love Blind?dots
    -------------------------------------------


    Who would guess?
    We perceive by making distinctions
    Once made
    Suffer the pain of separation.

    Only ecstasy can heal the pain.
    Only ecstay can remove the distinction.
    And without the distinction we cannot see.

    We can choose sight or ecstasy.
    We can look through the pain
    Or dissolve ecstatically.

    Our very condition is tragic.

    The dignity of sight
    Or the childhood of ecstasy.

    The inner fish and the outer fish become one
    And both fish disappear.

    The inner pond says, "I love you",
    And destroys the fish he loves.

    Love is blind.

    Torie.

      I am not trying to be good or bad. In fact I would like to give up trying. When I do this I don't know what to do. However when I don't know what to do, I start to become myself. This is kind of scary so I rush back to trying to do something, but each time it becomes less satisfying and each time I am more inclined to let it go.

    Postscript: The Pond is a love poem. Blind Love is an anti-love poem. I am tying to write a synthesis, that is, the meaning of love and anti-love. I am also trying to stop trying and become myself.

      I apologize I misspelled Pygmalion. Also, our attempts to reshape others either blows up in our face, or the other person changes to where you don't recognize him or her any longer. The attraction is no longer there, and hence the relationship fizzles (i.e. they are destroyed or the relationship is). Food for thought.

      It reminds me of Pygmmalion's stone. We labor to make our companions in our own image. We try to shape someone else in our own likeness or image, and it doesn't work. Very cool concept, I like it.
