Anam Cara - Finding a Song for the Heart
zongxujian 于发布 l 已有人浏览
All this week I have been singing.This week I have been dancing as well.
This dancing is a great technique for allowing one to get out of one's head and into the body. This is recreation. At this &place of the briars& there is no one to be disturbed.
Even the sheep dance and the cows look up from their feeding.
I turn up the volume on the tape deck and play Annie Lennox singing &Why.&
This is a great song with a great question.
It is a question about the failure of love.This week I have had to walk into Dowra village, one and one quarter miles from this cottage.
When I am walking I have been accompanied by George Harrison's beautiful song &While my guitar gently weeps.&
I love this song.
It is, for me, a song of deep compassion.
It is the song of a seer.
It is a song written and sung by one of great sensitivity.
This is a real soul song.
It is not a sentimental love song. It cuts to the heart of love.In this song George Harrison tells us &I look at you all/see the love there that's sleeping.&
This is beautiful.
To be able to see and know that in each and everyone of us &love sleeps.&
This is a great knowing.
For some, this love is sleeping deeply.
It sleeps because too often it has been wounded.
It has not been welcomed.Too often love and the expression of love has become associated with pain.
Better then to sleep without the need for this experience we call "love."
Better not to venture into this place where the heart is vulnerable.
So we choose not to risk all for love.
We live outside our essence.
Maybe we can settle for a little satisfaction.
Let us not, however, venture into the vulnerability of grace and joy.George Harrison sees &the love there that's sleeping.&
A soul friend sees the &love there that's sleeping.&
A soul friend laments this sleep.
While love lies sleeping &a guitar gently weeps.&
This is the gentleness of compassion.
The word "lament& comes from the words meaning, &to care.&This wonderful and wonder filled man plays a lament for the distance we are separate from love. What else to do?
One has to lament.
One has to enter a heart of vulnerability that says, &I care.& More than this one has to enter the &will to care.&
One has to have courage to be this vulnerable.When you are this vulnerable you discover you are the love that is always awake.
It was only waiting for you to look through the eyes of the heart.
You awake from the sleep of the ego.
Until this time you are living in the dead of the past.
You are never graced the entry into the only time you are alive.
This is the here and now.
This is the place of presence.George Harrison gives you a great help to come awake to the love that sleeps within.He sings, &I look at the floor and see it needs sweeping, still my guitar gently weeps.&
This is a great line.
This is a Zen poem.
It comes from a heart still weeping through his guitar.
George Harrison and his guitar are not separate. They are one body.
They have come to be at-one-ment.
This guitar is a part of who he is.
The voice of the Divine moves through him and his body.
Then as he says &My guitar gently weeps.&
This is a holy instrument.
This is a holy weeping.
It is a lamenting for the unity of oneness with &all that is.&We are so often missing from life.
We are too busy doing &our life.&We do not see what is needed in any moment.
We do now know how to look. We look at the floor and we might judge.
We would judge that the floor is dirty.
We might think how little time we have to sweep the floor.
We might think how our partner and our children are slobs.
We might think how the colour of the floor has faded and maybe it is time to think about new kitchen tiles.As for myself, when sweeping the floor, I might lament, &All those bloody dog hairs.&Then those whose love never lies sleeping, go quiet.
Our two dogs go and slink into a safe place.
This is a place where the mad sweeping man might not find them.
Sometimes the little dog will simply stand there and look.
She becomes my little Zen master.
I am her student. She reminds me that I am shouting.
She reminds me that I should practice what I sometimes preach.
She tells me, &Tony, the floor. That is all. Love in action.
Just chill.&Sweeping the floor with judgement is our norm. This is our mind.
This is my mind.
This is who we think we are.
We get so little experience of the real love that lies beyond sleeping.Learn to look.
Learn to just see.The floor needs sweeping.
That is all. This is love in action.
Out of an awakened heart action moves.
It is transformative.
It is accepting.
Energy flows feely.
There is no attachment to results.
Just sweep the floor.
Just allow compassion to arise.
We have lost faith in our passion and our experience of the flow of compassion.
Let your heart lament the absence of presence.Share your love and while you are at it drop the idea that it is &your love.&
Wake up for a moment and feel the love sleeping in your soul.
You are this.
You are the love that is sleeping.
It is the flow of life moving through you.
Love is not separate from you and will never be separate from you.What needs sweeping is the dust of the mind.It needs sweeping of all its attachments to all that it clings to.
It clings to the past and is forever thinking about the future.
All this &thinking about& crushes the heart.
The heart is not felt.
It is not trusted simply to be.
You lose heart.
You lose the ability to sweep the floor.
You lose the ability to lament the loss of your birthright.
You do not weep for the loss of soul.
You do not weep for the loss of joy and the non-entry of grace.
You forget how to lament.When you hear a song running through your head stop and listen.It is often speaking to what is termed &your condition.
Allow this song space.
Allow it some unconditional love.
Then you might wake up to the love &there that's sleeping.&
You might wake up to see the floor just as it is.This will be enough.Tony Cuckson is an Anam Cara.

　　小作文：地图题，一个农场30年的变化。　　大作文：　　Some people think young people should be free to choose his or her job，but
other people think they should be realistic and think more about their future.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.　　写作思路：　　第一段：年轻人找工作的标准　　第二段：个人理想或信仰，个性，兴趣，价值观，工作环境　　第三段：工资，福利，稳定。因为就业的压力　　第四段：依据个人的意愿更有利于事业的发展　　In today’s labour market, what kind of jobs do young people favor? While
some mainly consider about some realistic issues such as initiative salary or
working conditions, others may choose one simply because they like it.　　Of course it is very justified for job seekers to be realistic when facing
the severe competition in employment. College graduates have little chance to be
romantic but think about the starting payment, security, working hours and
future promotion opportunity. In my country, many parents encourage their
children to compete for a civil servant position as it is permanent for life.
Other things such as personal interest or feelings have to come second. However,
many young workers complain about their job of a high level of security. They
tend to suffer from tediousnessand indifference.　　I personally support young people to have freedom to choose their career in
the hope of enhancedjob satisfaction. They should be allowed to choose what they
have interest in and feel inspired to be better each day. When a worker feel
satisfied with his or her job, he or she would be self-motivated and dedicated
to their career. They tend to spare little effort to achieve their workinggoal
which is set clear and ambitious. Even if some jobs are not permanent, those who
outperformtheir colleagues in these workplaces can also gain high degree of
security.　　To conclude my argument, it is ideal to land on a job position which not
only is stable but alsoignites one’s passion for work. However, there is nothing
perfect in this world and especial in the employment sector. My suggestion is to
give priority to personal inclination to a particular job when one is seeking
for a job.　　(288 words)
