| Posted by Anne Engelen on 09/27/03 at 02:46 PM you nailed this one !! Just amazing. |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 09/27/03 at 04:02 PM I just don't know what to say about this one Ashok ... thus proving your argument ;) ...However my perception of the unknown expressed within the boundaries of my known language would lead me to say that you've presented this argument eloquently & extremely well. Nice one Ashok :) |
| Posted by Alex Smyth on 09/28/03 at 03:17 AM Your questions within the poem lend it a wistfullness, a touching human-ness. Wonderful expression, Ashok. |

| Posted by David R Spellman on 09/28/03 at 02:43 PM I think the human condition always strives to place a name and categorize everything instead of just letting it be and wonder at its unfolding. Such is our nature to try to understand and make sense of it all. Very thought provoking as always. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/28/03 at 11:29 PM Enlightening poem Ashok. The unknown begets more unknowns; for every question answered, more questions arise. Nicely reflects on one of the absolutes of we mere mortals. |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 09/29/03 at 01:42 PM intriguing and inspiring poem... poetry that forces you to think outside the box and truly delve into the deeper meaning of life and all that it encompasses is inspiring... excellent word usage too... blessings! |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 09/29/03 at 03:49 PM Another thought-provoking piece. Very valid point... how can one express that which is truly unknown within the constructs of a known method? Excellent verse. |
| Posted by Gabrielle L Gervais on 09/29/03 at 11:42 PM adding my little bit to the sea of comments- this is a brilliant piece... I have learned so much about writing just by reading your work- thanks! |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 09/30/03 at 04:43 PM To "BE" to "live" in that moment...... *soft smile* You are so Very Right! |
| Posted by Jeanne Marie Hoffman on 10/05/03 at 08:44 PM Nice closing there. How can one express what they do not know? |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 10/08/03 at 11:27 PM That's an amazing philosophical statement, and of course quite accurate. Great way to put it into verse. |
| Posted by Rula Shin on 01/20/04 at 05:49 PM I was going through your library and was very interested in this title-lucky for me I stopped to read, as always Ashok your work is intensly philosophical and brilliantly written. I especially love the second to last stanza - love how you describe both the significance and deficiency of known language all in one flowing thought,
*If one can...stop the language...this very moment from playing its role
of carrying you away
from the unknown
to the known
one shall witness the unknown
unfolding...*
For every miniscule moment in space there is a lag in verbal explanation because that moment, alive with action, is unpredictable,
*The unknown just can’t be phrased
In a language
Known.* Uh, brilliant! My little grey cells are flexing their muscles in anticipation of their next Ashok read :-)
