Brass Rings and More
What
Is, was -
Whatever will be -
Go with the flow;
Drift
old sweet year

new one, hello
trip lightly into life
grasping

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.
Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the
practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence
of everything you encounter.
‘Catching the Brass Ring’ seems to be an old idiom from the 19th century
- without clear provenance: meaning to strive for the highest prize.
However when I was a child if you were on the outside jumper (maybe a
horse on a carousel) you could stretch to reach metal rings.
If you caught the brass ring you earned a free ride on the carousel.
Note: My Elfje; five line verse of 11 words and
line/syllable count; tau ku : 1/6, 2/2, 3/8 and or pi ku: 1/3, 2/1, 3/4
are my interpretations of how I might put the inspirational sentence
into practice, for me. Also, I am going in my own order.
