Day Tripper in Prague...

So. Went to Prague. Just for a night and a morning.  I loved it.  So much.  Needed longer, much longer. Must go back.
And what caught my eye?  Lots of things but, inevitably, walls and windows.  Blockades and openings. And,  of course, the Lennon wall.







Walked away with a hundred songs in my head...

Resolutions? Solutions?

2012, eh? I’ve been a long way away, a long way awhen…  So forgive me while I come back, while I come to.  It may take some time... 
Resolutions?  We toss the word around but what are resolutions? A breaking into parts, a reducing of things into simpler forms.  Where does the root of resolution come from? Solvere, the Latin verb that means to loosen, to untie.  What is a solution?  Solutio – the resolution of a difficulty.  In chemistry, a liquid containing a dissolved substance.  In alchemy… Well…
I dunno, you can pursue this if it interests you. If it doesn’t, just skip to the music (it says the same anyway, just in a different way). I’m simply throwing out thoughts…images…words…  I can't tell you anything.  Only you can tell you. 

Today, I wonder.  What does it mean, to dissolve? To become a solution?  Resolution of a difficulty? The end of Self, of separation?  Purification?  Knowledge of our consciousness/ subconsciousness/ unconsciousness?  Clear running water dissolving the elements of the rocks through which it passes.  Clarity of thought and action.  Letting go of poison, of toxicity, releasing the rigidity of the past, of our inheritance (what MaSte would call our genetic and contextual conditioning) our ‘karma’.  And finally, of course, the river leads to the sea, the wide open sea.  The Great Sea.  Mara.  Binah.  Emotions - of all kinds.  'Bad' as well as 'good'. Acceptance. 

So, anyway.  You wanna resolve? You want to be a solution?  Yeah, me too. J
