The Zen Olympiad

EMERGE

As I go under

it yearns I burst above.

The steadfaststoicism of my and her love

in the veld. Felt.

Emotion = energy in motion (credit Michael Brown)

amergis eyelakes of a srendipitous sunbake

meow not caring, just careing…

Look here, its their turn – me andhers –

their, those peeps – them, their…yearn., yarn. Their yarn to spin –

when kingfisher, globetrotter, indicator species of pristine riverlands…

scratches its headkop, and laughs,

“blykbaar, blinkblaar, klaarblyklik, moontlik; blykblink, klaarblinklik, mantlek…”

you feel yourself, it, them, drifting down a genteel maelstrom, rainbull galloping, mamokebe watermesie gathering

the fold of moon, ensconced in a silver spoonky house.

So, we are underwater now, subterraneoun, yeah, n chapter toop, handwritten, shall be go-ood timez.

Here,

The writings on the typewritten waterwall, quick drawl with pencall crayon,

zorroing the caveman, quickstrokes no no jokes…you, me, the okes?

Bicycle spokes?

Phew, this is a lank poeh, I hoop my 27th century attention span can han…dle…

Y.e.t. Yeti, Mowgli, Nxau, and son…bushman…and we live in the twilight of the People of the Eldar,

and since they themsel – elves reflectedrefracted backforward to the event horizon of fundamental rythmn…

Give him a moment, he’ll be with you now…

Behold, lightning struck soundly, the light that illuminates forever, and Dennis Doringtrekker, keeper of the records, edicts, odes, limericks, geckos, pumps and axe-hoes, banjos; no shows, and silence – =dived headlong into the eyes of a mermaid, Tocadiscadostra, whereat the wave he had gazed upon upon a sundee recent, swallowed him gumptionly as has been intended perhaps, laps, + … . My name is your name is Dennis Doringkie I’vealotasay, if u wanna ma nommer u can have it maar your way!

Can you see what I’m joyously enmeshed in, coach?

Oh yessss,sorry what? Oh, yah, I can, sunslowohmanwoman.

We speak the language of Intent, shshhhe callz it…

Everse!

by Louis Untermeyer (1885 – 1977)

What nudity as beautiful as this

Obedient monster purring at its toil;

These naked iron muscles dripping oil,

And the sure-fingered rods that never miss?

This long and shining flank of metal is

Magic that greasy labour cannot spoil;

While this vast engine that could rend the soil

Conceals its fury with a gentle hiss.

It does not vent its loathing, it does not turn

Upon its makers with destroying hate.

It bears a deeper malice; lives to earn

Its master’s bread and laughs to see this great

Lord of the earth, who rules but cannot learn

Become the slave of what his slaves create.

My colleague and Mentor Elmarie Hugo (Meant, or, Mentor the mysterious teacher of Odysseus (in actuality the goddess Athena) who appears in different guises, appearing as an unexpected friendly acquaintance. Where in the world, can you sundance with Eland at school, while learning what’s two plus zero plus two…

…A wizardress christian Express, almost not serious…Elmarie, the artist a priori of Yzerfontein Academy. You have created iets besonders uniek.

Then, we have: ”The Sirenes of Language”

Here is the pdf:

Gazing at a rendition of The Flying Bushmen, one perceives that the eye, being ever in motion, like a bird a’ flutter, is causing the figures in the found landscape before you, to move. Then you see through.

During a melodic astringent ”wine affair” in Windedal, I mean Citrusdal, Antoinette saved our bacon with supra real ochre patches, which balanced with spectral essays forth from the colour wheels of squared stone. The following week Saturday, Grade 2-5 learners from Yzerfontein Academy compassed the communal spacetime Bushmanland with intrigues from the realm of Believe, Bardo of the Second-born.

The firstborn are elves, they await over the wine-rich sea, and under feet and nose.

During her tenure in Groot ”Macondo” Marico, Jeannine Davidoff accomplished appetizing feats, one of which was happy feet in the form of Happy Toes, which she managed by stimulating the farm through a voluntourism model program wherein people from across the world could commune around a campfire, drumbeats criss-crossing.

It was on that pasture that Jeannine multiplied her predilection for gardening, the wandering Gypsey sprit eagerly awaiting broth soup fashioned from vegetables in the garden. When the big rains of 2020 swept away the carpet from under society’s fabric feet, Jeanine made to move on, but not before harvesting a harvest moon abundance of produce and veldkos.

Here is Jeanine at her level best, with a precious gift: The South African planting and companion planting guide:

Newton discovered mass as gravity; Einstein discovered Energy as mass and light;

This one finds, I find (Heurisko!):

$C = me/fw(c)$

Where C represents consciousness moving or pervading beyond form

while m is mass/matter and e is energy, Me; divided by f, frequency and w, wavelength (approaches to light, C)

^$%&^*O((

This jesterly gentle-joust, I append to “We are the world: inner and outer space in Science”, with a pinch of salt!

Thus Magnificent Zorro, the blunderer Elf, suggests:

C = E x M x Z ‘/. F x W (Cp) x Z where:

Consciousness is eqivalent to form and formlessness divided by spacetime, that is

Creation, divided into uncountable morphing life, unified by multiplication, the inverse, and expressed as:

The totality of forms and their respective energies (M x E) and the respective void spaces (gaps, Z), divided by the totality of vibrations (Frequencies F and their respective wavelengths W = Consciousness/ Light potential), and the Void, Z.

Effectively, it amounts to infinity divided by infinity, which means that Consciousness = 1. (A singularity, a unity.)

Ironically, we quantify the Void in our multiplication, because it nevertheless contributes to the totality. Even if we make Void 0, we are still left with a whole number concept when we divide totality by individual form, neutral Zero, the Invisible One.

This can be potentially applied to Individual Forms (vibrational clusters) in a state of elctrodynamical morphing, as

Cform = m e z ‘/. f w z

The teachings of the Zen Olympiad have landed at a new school! Terra Incognito, Yzerfontein, betwixt an Eland and a soft place…
