just a thought
2.11.2007
today on the way back from work my mind sparked and in one second i thought of the following three things. i don't know what triggered them. what matters is that these separate things came to me as one. in retrospective, it makes perfect sense. i believe it not as a coincidence but rather a a display that our sub-conscience is constantly at work and that everything we know is always connected.

"It is not only that there is water in the world, but there is world in water... When you investigate the flowing of a handful of water and the not-flowing of it, full mastery of all things is instantly present.
And there are mountains hidden in treasures. There are mountains hidden in swamps. There are mountains hidden in the sky. There are mountains hidden in mountains. There are mountains hidden in hiddenness. This is complete understanding.
An ancient Buddha once said, 'Mountains are mountains, waters are waters.' These words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains."
-taken from the "Mountains and Rivers Sutra" by Japanese Zen master Eihei Dogen

A lesson that was taught to me last year. (i wish it had been taught to me earlier, although i don't know if i would have understood it)
it can be illustrated with the diagram below.
if one thinks about everything that can be known as the box above, the red line represents what i know i know. The blue line represents what i know i don't know. The white space represents what i don't know that i don't know.
part of the lesson was understanding that the things that will allow me to create something truly meaningful exist in the white space.
in my opinion, Van Gogh's painting is beautiful. i can't say that i understant Eihei Dogen's writings as well as he did. i don't know if the lesson is true or not. What i do know is that these three things inhabited my mind together and for one second i was those three things in human form.
