A Moment of Thought

by Pascal van den Dool

/
1.
Sitting in, muscles softening with exhalation I can do whatever I want Thinking about thinking, letting go of any thought Here we go, let's focus Retain the vision, trying to make sense of circular movements Recalling old moments, on a familiar path I see the tree Feel so small, so big in movement Mind is a blue sky, clouds will always pass Here we go, let's focus Retain the vision, trying to make sense of circular movements Recalling old moments, on a familiar path I see the tree

Middle Way 03:11
If only I could give him middle way Everything must be in balance Middle way There once was a man, not by a single thing deluded

Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben, nach oben Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn' Unterlass, ohn' Unterlass Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben, umwoben Die schönen weisen Wolken zieh'n dahin Durch's tiefe Blau wie schöne stille Träume, schöne stille Träume, schöne stille Träume Mir ist als ob ich längst gestorben bin, mir ist als ob ich längst gestorben bin Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume, ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben, umwoben

Gute Nacht 06:56
Gute Nacht, o Wesen, Das die Welt erlesen, Mir gefällst du nicht Gute Nacht, du Stolz und Pracht! Dir sei ganz, du Lasterleben, Gute Nacht gegeben

There once was a man Not by a single thing deluded What needs a man in a lifespan? Sole the earth's gifts he concluded (Thoughtful, at peace, river, moonlight) He walked up the mountain at night And savoured the trees in the moonlight Meanwhile a thief came to steal But saw nothing there to his grief Thus it seemed like a pointless ordeal The man came back and said to the thief: "You've come from far I suppose" In him, compassion arose Said: "take as a gift all my clothes" There once was a man Not by a single thing deluded What needs a man in a lifespan? Sole the earth's gifts he concluded So without any kind of affray The man sat naked by the lagoon Thinking about the thief who just ran away "If only I could give him this beautiful moon"
