| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 07/29/04 at 04:21 PM Now, Ashok. You know time is only a matter of perspective. Hehehe! This is beautiful, and speaks to the power of standing still, the amazement of basking. |
| Posted by Rula Shin on 07/29/04 at 08:39 PM “thoughtless attention…alert empty and watchful mind” can reflect an entire lifetime lived in just one moment. “Give me…two…four…can you give me ten?” – can one moment’s lifetime now become ten lifetimes in 10 moments intensified 10 fold from the first!? Oh to go from peace, to bliss, to euphoria and then sublime clarity in only 11 minutes! I give days, months, and years of this earthly time and space to this exercise in hopes of achieving just one of these LIVING moments…for in limits I once thought, and though there may well be limits, I choose to ignore the notion for no such notion ever manifested in triumph… |
| Posted by Sarah Graves on 07/29/04 at 08:51 PM Wow, it seems like you have a lot to offer in the ways of communication Ashok. I can see this piece floating above a coffee table, setting the mood between you and another person. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/30/04 at 02:49 AM Quite the refreshing departure for you Ashok. Lots of nice surprises here lately at Pathetic. |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 07/30/04 at 11:34 AM This metaphysical treatise in brief starts with attention grabbing contradictions. Miracles in ten minutes!!! Fast worker! Hahaha! Enjoyed the read! |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 07/31/04 at 05:49 AM WOW! Just 10 minutes...if we all took that much time to communicate with each other, from the heart..the possibilities are endless. Excellent poem, Ashok, you touch my heart with your words. |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 07/31/04 at 04:27 PM i want to cry to... ashok... this is a beautiful plea... i'm not even sure exactly how to comment to this, but suffice it to say it has touched me deeply, as i believe it has and will touch others... how could anyone deny you a minute, maybe twelve, with words such as these streaming through... you continually amaze me with your insight to the human mind... blessings, my friend... and thank you, for all that you do... |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 08/04/04 at 09:54 PM So - a closet Lothario huh? I guess this is playful - time definitive, and distance immeasurable. A 'new' dream :> Pure pleasure - a favourite. |
| Posted by Mike Loftis on 09/08/04 at 03:13 AM All of your writing is intellectually challenging to me. This piece is so well thought out written. I loved it. |
| Posted by Maria Terezia Ferencz on 07/31/06 at 07:55 PM With a mind like yours I would give you as many minutes as you'd like. Great write. |
