Yesterday, we made mention of
mythoLOGOS/HA HA

Myth (from Greek μῦθος ) mûthos, "word, humour, companion, speech, account, rumour, fable". English since 1830. 
- Wikipedia
            
Logos (from Greek: λόγος, from λέγω lego "I say") is an important term in western philosophy, psychology, rhetoric, and religion. It is a Greek word meaning "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word", "speech", "account", "to reason", but it became a technical term in philosophy beginning with Heraclitus (ca. 535–475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge.

Laughter is a physical reaction in humans and some other species of primate, consisting typically of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli. Laughter can arise from such activities as being tickled, or from humorous stories or thoughts. Most commonly, it is considered a visual expression of a number of positive emotional states, such as joy, mirth, happiness, relief, etc. On some occasions, however, it may be caused by contrary emotional states such as embarrassment, apology, or confusion such as nervous laughter or courtesy laugh. Age, gender, education, language, and culture are all factors as to whether a person will experience laughter in a given situation.
    
Laughter in literature, although considered understudied by some, is a subject that has received attention in the written word for millennia. The use of humor and laughter in literary works has been studied and analyzed by many thinkers and writers, from the Ancient Greek philosophers onward. 
       
Henri Bergson's Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic (Le rire, 1901) is a notable 20th-century contribution.
         
For the Greeks :
      
Herodotus

For Herodotus, laughers can be distinguished into three types:

• Those who are innocent of wrongdoing, but ignorant of their own vulnerability
• Those who are mad
• Those who are overconfident

According to Donald Lateiner, Herodotus reports about laughter for valid literary and historiological reasons. "Herodotus believes either that both nature (better, the gods' direction of it) and human nature coincide sufficiently, or that the latter is but an aspect or analogue of the former, so that to the recipient the outcome is suggested." When reporting laughter, Herodotus does so in the conviction that it tells the reader something about the future and/or the character of the person laughing. It is also in this sense that it is not coincidental that in about 80% of the times when Herodotus speaks about laughter it is followed by a retribution. "Men whose laughter deserves report are marked, because laughter connotes scornful disdain, disdain feeling of superiority, and this feeling and the actions which stem from it attract the wrath of the gods."

Picture your original face (Zen koan)

Yesterday's Ryokan drawing... 
               

...rang a bell. Matisse at the Chapel of the Rosary, Vence. His depictions of Saint Dominic.

                       

The only face that Matisse depicts in this sacred place is not any usual face fixed upon a head but an image of a face. Not any ordinary image of a face but, prima facie, the extraordinary image of the face of the Logos, from the sixth of the Stations of the Cross, as imprinted upon the veil of Veronica.

A key meta-icon of Western mythoLOGOS/HA HA

Are your poems poems, master?

Who says my poems are poems?
My poems are not poems.
When you know that my poems are not poems,
Then we can speak of poetry.

- from 'Zen Poetics of Ryokan' by Meng-hu, reprinted by Simply Haiku

Ryōkan (1758–1831) 
was a Soto Zen Buddhist monk who lived in Niigata, Japan, as a hermit and a poet

With this world;
Better for me is enjoying
Life on my own.

BREXIT (Britain Votes To Exit E.U.)

       

KING HENRY V 

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.

- Shakespeare : Henry V | Act 3, Scene 1

      

Once more unto the Yeats, dear friends, 

once more :

        

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. 

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. 

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

- William Butler Yeats, 1919

from 5.34 pm june 20 (moonrise/sunset) 

until 7.37 am june 21 2016 (moonset/ sunrise)

irymple

            

Since May 11 this year I have been ritually interring the entirety of my 40-year archive (including two cars, various collections of furniture, clothing and sundry objects) in a 20x8x3 metre burial chamber carved from the red desert soil of a private 8-acre garden located in Irymple, a village on the outskirts of Mildura in northwestern Victoria.

On the evening of the 20^th of June, at the conjunction of the full moon and the southern hemisphere’s winter solstice, an all-night vigil acknowledging both this unique celestial conjunction and my project will be held alongside the burial site. 

Eventually, when the ritual placing of each object inside the burial chamber is completed, the gathered collections will be covered by the excavated soil and an elevated mound will be shaped over the top.

Seven trees will be planted atop the mound’s apex; a cypress, an olive, a fig, a lemon, a vine, an almond and a Casuarina pine.

A spectrum of seven solar-powered lights, each corresponding both to one of the plantings as well as to a chakra colour will then be installed at the base of each trunk, indicating that the collected body lying under the earth is still, even if at rest, continuing to function harmonically.

Throughout the burial I have been singing all the songs I know.

From sunset on the 20^th of June until sunrise the following morning I will join with David Palliser, Ren Walters and Juana Beltran in presenting a series of improvised sounds and actions to a gathering of friends, in response to the conjunction of solstice, full moon and burial.

Singing, then, sound-making and body action offered as an expression of being, not doing; such being practiced as mindful search for the moment when blindness becomes sightedness.

You are warmly invited to join us on this night to share whatever unfolds.

Domenico de Clario
