Comments on: Pain, the Old Friend http://www.takuin.com/pain-the-old-friend/ { The Writing of Takuin Minamoto } Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:25:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: takuin http://www.takuin.com/pain-the-old-friend/comment-page-1/#comment-6633 takuin Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:49:53 +0000 http://www.takuin.com/?p=687#comment-6633 Davidya, Hah, good one. I usually do all of my writing from a swinging trapeze, and during the last post I over extended a bit. All is well. I left the house yesterday for the first time in eight days. I felt like I had just been paroled. It was quite like going on vacation. I am always fascinated by this pain; the body adjusts in such a way to make movement possible, without further damaging the organism. It is such a wonderful time to really focus in on what is really happening. It is unfortunate that most people cannot get past their story of pain. Beyond the story, it is absolutely fascinating. Davidya,

Did Takuin strain his back with blog posting? Did he get stressed and not read iamasimpelman's quotes? "Be patient toward all that is..." I jest. I hope you're feeling much better now. Pain can be a gift but rarely is it welcome. Even when it can be fully allowed. Your month’s experiment is over now and you’re laid up. Did Takuin strain his back with blog posting?

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer. Rainer Maria Rilke Be patient toward all that is
unsolved in your heart and try
to love the questions
themselves like locked rooms
and like books that are
written in a very foreign
tongue. Do not now seek the
answers, which cannot be given
you because you would not be
able to live them. And the
point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will find them
gradually, without noticing
it, and live along some distant
day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke

I read Grimm's Fairy Tales at least once per year. I have a few different editions, and I think between all of them, I have the complete tales. However, my preference is for post-apocalyptic tales. But Grimm is good as well. ;) iamasimpelman,

Get well soon. Hope you will be without pain soon. Hope you have someone who brings you a nice hot cup of tea and tells you a wounderful fairy-tale with a lot of beautyful fairy tale characters. I have a recommendation but have some one who read it to you it is more pleasure. Der Eisenhans in english Iron John or like at this website Iron Hans from the Brothers Grimm: http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm136.html Hope you get well soon. Nice Greetings iamasimpelman What do say?

When it is not resisted and the signal is heard, it stops needing to push. Then we can be with it, as it is. But it can take some to learn this. Western medicine does not teach this. Indeed, little does. Yet it is a key to our well-being. It is interesting that physical pain is much like emotional pain. When it is not resisted and the signal is heard, it stops needing to push.
