(3enighed Photograph)
3enighed (Wikimedia Commons, 2006, AnonMoos); Symbolism in Latin that requires both a linguistic translation and a conceptual interpretation to assign meaning to a direct apprehension and/or experience of what is beyond conception or words....
An experience
Depends on the meaning that
I myself assign.
I interpret things
In terms of the meaning that
I myself assign.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Divine Geometry)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Self-Projected Limits Photograph)
Self-Projected Limits (2007 Reprise); The true effect of momentarily "minding" (in the context of a contracted self-reference) "this" while ignoring "that" (everything else, including the Entire Field of Awareness that serves as the Ground of All Being); Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Looking at Life from
A point of self-reference.
Limits Perspective.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Seeing Forever)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Mount Everest Photograph)
Mount Everest from Rombok Gompa, Tibet (John Hill, 2005); From the foothills the "context and related meaning of what is seen is “one thing”; yet that “same thing” seen from the mountain top is entirely different or perhaps even non-existent; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
“Where you are looking
From” determines the context
And meaning of things.
You can change the way
You look at things by changing
“Where you're looking from.”
[Rich Note: These were partially and jointly inspired by something Paul Hedderman mentioned during a 5-17-05 downloadable AA talk ( view link ) I listened to this morning, as well as by the sub-title of Jackie O’Keeffe’s book sub-title: “The Freedom You Are Looking For is Where You Are Looking From” ( view link ).]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Which One Am I?)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Mirror Like Accompanying)
Mirror Lake (Wikimedia Commons,1899); This Yo Semite Valley stereoscopic image is rather amazing, as the image reflected in the lake is actua"lly clearer, sharper and more seemingly real” than the actuality it reflects; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Every wonder when
Using the word “my-self” which
Of “those selves is you."

Hay-Ku of the Day (Principles or Values)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Scale of Justice Photograph)
Scale of Justice Carrying Putto (Triumph of the Republic); (Wikimedia Commons, 2009, Sculpture: Aimé-Jules Dalou; photo: Teofilo); Companion haiku: The constitutions based on Timeless Principles not changing concepts.
Is our Government
Based on Timeless Principle
Or changing values?
Is our Government
Based on Timeless Principle
Or temporal thought?
Is our Government
Based on Timeless Principle
Or human judgment?
[Rich Note: Normally stay away from politics (as just another expression of the “Warm Gooey-Sharp Prickly” dichotomy Alan Watts once suggested), but a Sunday newspaper article about Supreme Court Justice Beyer’s advocating application of what he called the Constitution’s "fundamental values" to "new and changing circumstances" evoked a “letter to the editor-like response” that will follow.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Expanding Presence)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Tunnel Vision Photograph)
Tunnel Vision (2006); Attention focused on the center of this piece implicitely excludes the outer three circles, as well as the circumference; whereas expanding focus to include the circumference embraces the totality of all four circles; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
As Field of Focus
Expands so does Awareness
Of Being Present.
As Field of Focus
Expands so does one’s sense of
Present Awareness.
As Field of Focus
Expands so does one’s sense of
Conscious Existence.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Learning How to Fly)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Flying the Colors Photograph)
Flying the Colors (2010); “Off we go into the wild blue yonder, climbing high into the sun; here they come zooming to meet our thunder, at 'em boys, give 'er the gun!" (from the AF Song); Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Holding to the Sky
Of Awareness releases
The Fullness of Joy
Holding to the Sky
Of Awareness frees one from
Conceptual clouds.

Haiku of the Day (Thought Clouds)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Just Imagine Photograph)
Just Imagine (2010); Interestingly, the “temporary something of the clouds” frames the “permanent nothing of the sky” and so projects an “apparent something out of nothing”; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Interest in thought
Clouds causes us to miss the
Sky of Awareness

Hay-Ku of the Day (A Matter of Thought)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Oneness Photograph)
Oneness (2010, Wikimedia, Janschoonhovenjr); Although the “inner penetrating curves” in this piece of art reflect the essential unity of opposites as the common ground between the two, the real oneness is the space underlying the form; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Any gap between
Inner and outer space is
A matter of thought.
Any space between
Inside and outside must be
Thought into Being.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Physician Heal Thyself)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Caduceus Photograph)
Caduceus (2007, Wikimedia Commons, Luis García); The entwine snakes symbolizing the dual, lower nature (split-mindedness of self-reflective knowledge) united at the feet of and in service to Spirit (The Higher Nature symbolized by the wings) is classic; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Minding mental Space
Unites the conceptual
Split the mind projects
Minding mental space
Heals the apparent split self
Conception projects.
Minding mental Space
Heals the split in Consciousness
Reflection projects.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Eye in the Sky)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Space from a Plane Image)
Space from a Plane (Wikimedia Commons, 2006); Spent many years looking at space just like this and, except for passing clouds and thunderstorms, it was always the same; Companion haiku: Attending to Space unites the conceptual split self-thought projects.
Attending to Space
Reveals the Pure, Clear Sky of
Awareness One Is.

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Final Frontier)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
It is “mental space,”
Not “outer space,” that is truly
The “final frontier.”
As the projector
Of all frontiers your mind is
The “final frontier."
[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) Mind Artistic Spiral (Wikipedia Commons, 2006, by Harun Yahya); This is a reprise that underscores the essence of this offering: Companion haiku: Any apparent frontier between “inner and outer” is mental.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (On the Threshold)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com .]
Is there a threshhold
Between “inner and outer”
Space with your eyes closed?
[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) No ATC (2010) No particular relation to the haiku (other than the space-lol), but thought it was a cool picture and wanted to see if anyone can identify the species of bird that would swarm like this (I want to say some kind of swallow as a guess).]
