Suspending J...Suspending Judgment<br />Brenda Anderson <br /><br />Suspending Judgment is the gateway skill of the Power Zone. This choice will help get you out of the Fear Zone, where you most likely ended up after making some sort of negative judgment. Suspending Judgment opens up other possibilities and saves you a huge amount of upset and stress. . . . No matter how dire a situation appears, if you resist the urge to attach too quickly to a position, you allow for the possibility that it might not be so bad and that perhaps even good things may result.<br /><br />snip<br /><br />The Old Way of Doing<br /><br />Life as usual for most of us includes opinions about those we encounter and interpretations of events that stay fixed in our minds. When you make a judgment, you unconsciously set into motion a certain chain of events.<br /><br />HERE<br /><br />http://www.livinglifefully.com/zine.htmanonymoushttp://www.livinglifefully.com/zine.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27162317.post-37842587384449429952008-03-13T15:14:00.000-07:002008-03-13T15:14:00.000-07:00遠山に日の当たりたる枯野かなtooyama ni hi no ataritaru kareno ka...遠山に日の当たりたる枯野かな<BR/>tooyama ni hi no ataritaru kareno kana<BR/><BR/>Takahama Kyoshi 高浜虚子<BR/><B><BR/>the mountains afar<BR/>lit by sunshine -<BR/>and withered fields</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>明治33年(1900)11月25日,虚子庵<BR/>Written on November 25, 1900 at Kyoshi-An<BR/><BR/>Stepping out of his home, he could see the Shikoku mountains behind Dogo Hot Spring in Matsuyama Town.

It is a method of approach which does not preclude nor exclude the possibility of other aproaches. Automatic seeing perhaps, as compared to automatic writing. <BR/><BR/>"Shasei theory" is a phrase that makes as much sense as calling a left-handers approach "left-hand" theory. I think that it would be relatively unusual for a writer not to use one or the other hand or both, as well as not to use the senses he has. <BR/><BR/>To wonder when Shiki decided to use shasei theory is to wonder when he first started to use his sense of smell or sight. <BR/><BR/>erkeenerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27162317.post-1169877437108050052007-01-26T21:57:00.000-08:002007-01-26T21:57:00.000-08:00There are those, of course, who harbored a differe...There are those, of course, who harbored a different view of shasei than the one held by Shiki. For example, Saito Mokichi (1882 - 1953), once wrote: "Shasei means depicting life by empathizing with real objects." <BR/>He later expanded on his definition of shasei, writing:<BR/>"For us, shasei is not a means, a technique, or a process, it is totality."<BR/><BR/>Writes Donald Keene in his text, Dawn to The West, "He believed that the tanka was by nature lyrical, and that it should express the poet's feeling; it might happen, then, that the poet would not need to depend on external objects to express his inner feelings. However, if the poet turned to external objects, he must penetrate their essence, not merely decorate his own feelings by mentioning flowers and birds.<BR/><BR/>I lie beside my mother<BR/>Who is close to death---<BR/>Piercing cries<BR/>Of frogs in distant fields<BR/>Echo from Heaven<BR/><BR/>Saito Mokichi<BR/>translated by Donald Keene<BR/><BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cherrypoetryclub/message/30079Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
