i am told i have never experienced a rose.
on the one hand i am offered a sonnet on the experience of a rose, and on the other a rose itself (for a price, of course). the first offers no guarantees, but lists a number of awards it was awarded - probably for invoking a rose better than any other sonnet on a rose. the second, also offers no guarantees, but claims authenticity through being a global phenomenon: pure, fresh and inevitably patented as The Rose. what both do offer is the potential to get what i want by directing me to what i should be wanting....

Q: How important is silence to that analysis?
A: Very important. [It] makes your thought more coherent, makes you more intelligent. A person who does not practise silence cannot be intelligent at all. He keeps blabbering, blabbering all the time, thinking all the time, talking. What he talks makes very little sense. If you want to make sense, it has to come from silence.
Oh Joy... am I here for you?
Q: You have said you want to see joy on every face. Is that a desired state of existence for everyone?
A: That is a natural tendency. Rivers flow... water flows... similarly, the nature of joy is to spread.
