Summer at "Wulf Walk Lake", II


40 days ago my week end voyage has explored this beautiful „Wulf Walk Lake“second time. Returning from this little journey my friend and colleague for more than 15 years was gone. Once again we had to say “Good Bye” for ever in one of these sad, sad funerals.



Once again we had to say “Good Bye” for ever in one of these sad, sad funerals.


Old age is coming closer with great steps, when people around leave you forever. In 20 years of my job four young colleagues have gone forever. In this financial crisis the company is in trouble. Some more young colleagues have to leave, because the owner expects more profit. Loosing your loved ones, loosing your job, catastrophes like the collapsing financial industry or the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is controversy in reality! An E-Mail quarrel is controversy in fantasy. When people not even can stand controversy in fantasy, how will people stand controversy in reality?

my young colleague and friend "Wolfgang" gone forever

An E-Mail quarrel is controversy in fantasy.


My E-Mail friend Prem da Gaff from Texas celebrated his birthday last week. He send an impressive letter with one of his last paintings. Prem da Gaff is too old for e-mail quarrels. My age climbs up to 70; his age has already passed seven decades. But most important: Prem da Gaff is not a controversial guy, he is a man of peace, understanding. Maybe that’s the reason why, Prem da Gaff stays as friend of mine for many, many years in our e-mail group n0by@yahoogroups.com. And this is his letter:

Thanks for the birthday blessings-i couldn't open the yahoo guest book- forgot my password.

i am still in good health - just went swimming out at the local lake today - swam one and a half hours- in distances- 45 minutes one way and 45 back- and if i ever have a heart attack swimming i hope it is in the water swimming - even better in the ocean - that way - no body - no worry from relatives, no expensive funeral for people to have to come to.- that is the only way to go- hell even now the cheapest way is to be cremated and that cost $1200. just to burn a body? wow- what a rip-off- just when did it cost so much to put wood on something to burn it up?- this whole world is so insane and greedy that to die is great when the effort to live becomes so much effort and pain- after all if u go to your center that is bliss- i have done it many times and it you just disappear- so what? we all came from nothing and that is something that we can not remember or can u? so to disappear into nothing ....nothing more needs to be said..



this whole world is so insane and greedy that to die is great when the effort to live becomes so much effort and pain



love da gaf-

my latest painting-enjoy

Prem da Gaff is a) from Texas and b) an old man and c) writing a mail to another old guy. When you are talking to children in love, for sure you have to talk nice nonsense to console them. For no reasons these tender sweet little girls and boys will have to know early enough, how controversy and cruel life can be. My experience and therefore my opinion: The ones, who escape and avoid this tough, harsh, hard reality, cultivate illusions and sweet little lies. When these tender kids never grow up they remain retarded until the hammer comes down! But now lets enjoy nice nonsense to bring our beautiful babies in bed to dream for the next 1000 days, years and lifes:

Because I am so certain about it, that's why I can play -- that's why I can say, "Look for a living master." I AM SO CERTAIN ABOUT YOU. My trust is absolute about you -- that's why I can say, "When I am gone, don't be bothered with me: look for a living master."

But if you have loved me, I will live for you forever. IN YOUR LOVE I WILL LIVE. If you have loved me, my body will disappear but I cannot die for you. But I can assert much nonsense because I know your love: I trust it.

WHEN A MASTER SAYS, "Don't go to anybody. Cling to me. Even when I am  gone, go on continuously with me. Don't move anywhere" -- that simply means  he does not trust you. He is afraid, he has doubts -- he knows that once  he is gone, you will be gone. In fact, he knows that even while he is alive, you will be gone. He protects; he says, "Don't go to anybody else. I am  the only one." He is very monopolistic. He is so doubtful, that his marriage  with his disciples is a sort of monogamy. He's afraid.

HE IS AFRAID because the divorce is possible -- he is afraid of it,  and wants to protect in every way so that it is not going to happen. He will say, "Never worship anybody, never love anybody, never revere anybody, never listen to anybody, never go to anybody -- just look at me, and forget the whole world. Exclusively love me."

I don't say to you that. I know: EVEN IF I AM GONE, I KNOW YOU WILL  SEARCH FOR ME. Yes, I can trust you will hunt for me in every stone and  flower, in every eye and star...

And I can promise you one thing: IF YOU HUNT FOR ME, YOU WILL FIND  ME... in every star and in every eye... because if you have really loved a  master, you have moved into eternity with him. The relationship is not of time, it is timeless.

THERE IS GOING TO BE NO DEATH. My body will disappear, your body will  disappear -- that will not make any change. If the disappearance of the  body makes any change, that simply shows that love had not happened.

LOVE IS SOMETHING BEYOND THE BODY. Bodies come and go, love remains.  Love has eternity in it -- timelessness, deathlessness. That's why, Seeta --  the question is from Seeta -- that's why sometimes I can talk nonsense. I  know you will find the sense even in my nonsense. I know you will  understand, you will not misunderstand -- that's why.

Feeling these words like a flower alive in my heart.....


...my search for sense is like from a dead dwarf in a salt mine of tears!
