mere suffering exists

no sufferer is found

the deed is

but no doer of

the deed is there

nibbana is

but not the man

who enters it

the path is but no

traveller on

it is seen

empty phenoena roll on

this is the

only right view

regret is a

wasted emotion

dance while you may

I think I might have an answer,

at least one that works for me,

thanks to a strange and wonderful

group called the Legendary Pink Dots:

“Sing while you may…”

(for it may not be very long).

It’s a theme that comes

up often in their music.

To me the meaning is close,

but not exactly the same

as that of carpe diem – sieze the day.

I think “seize the day” implies

more of an ability to change things.

The Dots’ philosophy is more

about expressing yourself.

You may not make a mark on the world,

which either is or is not about to end regardless,

but it’s still beautiful and

it’s still meaningful.

Birds live that way.

So should we.
