Translated selection of Odes by Ricardo Reis (heteronym of Fernando Pessoa).

Music:
"Living Kingdom" by Kourosh Dini
"Raga Bhimpalasi" by Boris Moskvitin
both from http://www.magnatune.com

Odes read:

Follow your destiny,
Water your plants,
Love your roses.
The rest is the shadow
Of someone else's trees.

Reality is
Always more or less
Of what we want.
Only ourselves are always
in accordance to our-selves.

Soft is to live alone.
Great and noble is always
To simply live.
Leave the pain on the altars
As an ex-vow to the gods.

Behold life from afar.
Never question it.
There is nothing she can
Tell you. The answer
Lies beyond the gods.

But serenely
Mimic Olimpus
In your heart.
The gods are gods
Because they do not self think.

---

Of the gods I ask only that they grant me
That I ask them nothing. Asking is a yoke
And being happy oppresses
Because it is a certain state.
Neither quiet nor unquiet my calm being
I want to rise high above where men
Have pleasure or pain.

---

To be great, be whole: nothing
Yours exaggerates or excludes.
Be all in each thing. Apply as much as you are
In the least you do.
Thus in each lake the whole moon
Shines, as it highly dwells.

---

Nothing remains of nothing. Nothing are we.
A bit under the sun and by the wind we delay ourselves
Of the irrespirable darkness that would weight upon us
Of the imposed damp soil.
Delayed cadavers that procreate.
Laws made, statues seen, odes completed —
Everything has its own grave. If we, fleshes
To which an intimate sun gives blood, have
A setting west, why not them?
We are tales telling tales, nothing.

---

I want ignored, and calm
By ignored and my own
By calm, filling my days
With wanting nothing more of them.
Those whom riches touch
Gold rashes the skin.
Those on whom fame blows
Their life is but a fog.

To those whom happiness
Is a Sun, night will come.
But to the one that expects naught
Everything that comes is grateful.

---

In ourselves live countless;
If I think or feel, I ignore
The one who thinks or feels.
I am merely the place
Where it is felt and thought.
I have more souls than one.
There are more mes that myself.
I exist however
Indifferent to all.
I make them silent: I speak.
The crossed impulses
Of what I feel or do not feel
Dispute over who I am.
I ignore them. They dictate nothing
To whom I know as myself: I write.

Brief contemplation using as an allegory Gary Gygax's Dungeons and Dragons "Tomb of Horrors" adventure book, to attempt to translate our "player's" relationship with this realm's "game master".

Brief contemplation on what the object standing between Truth and the stage of Matter may be, projecting with its presence the shadows of the world.

This is not a contemplation of mine, but, perhaps even more worthy of contemplating than those I am blessed to share with you. It is an excerpt from chapter 2 from the book “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse, whose full librivox.org audiobook can be found both on my channel's YouTube playlist named “Recommendations to Contemplate on” (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIC9j_VacKf2fJr1aaS2SHuionsv6Pm4W) and here: https://librivox.org/siddhartha-by-hermann-hesse/

I will surely, by now, not reveal a spoiler for you, if I let you know beforehand that the Gautama Buddha mentioned in the excerpt is Siddhartha himself, in the future. Also noteworthy is that the friend he talks with, named Govinda, is consistently addressed as “Siddhartha's shadow” by the narrator. And please: this is a metaphor!

Here goes, for your own contemplation.I had to speed up the reading a bit to make it fit my 15 minutes limit.

Brief contemplation on the relationship between the victim, as a carrier of a certain type of guilthood, and the perpetrator and context, that conspire in order to bring that to the conscious to be purified.

Poems read:

«For the lie to set in
and reach deeply in you
it must have mixed in
something that is true.»
- António Aleixo

«I die I die the Mother said
My Children die for lack of Bread
What more has the merciless Tyrant said
The Monk sat down on the Stony Bed

The blood red ran from the Grey Monks side
His hands & feet were wounded wide
His Body bent his arms & knees
Like to the roots of ancient trees

His eye was dry no tear could flow
A hollow groan first spoke his woe
He trembled & shudderd upon the Bed
At length with a feeble cry he said

When God commanded this hand to write
In the studious hours of deep midnight
He told me the writing I wrote should prove
The Bane of all that on Earth I lovd

My Brother starvd between two Walls
His Childrens Cry my Soul appalls
I mockd at the wrack & griding chain
My bent body mocks their torturing pain

Thy Father drew his sword in the North
With his thousands strong he marched forth
Thy Brother has armd himself in Steel
To avenge the wrongs thy Children feel

But vain the Sword & vain the Bow
They never can work Wars overthrow
The Hermits Prayer & the Widows tear
Alone can free the World from fear

For a Tear is an Intellectual Thing
And a Sigh is the Sword of an Angel King
And the bitter groan of the Martyrs woe
Is an Arrow from the Almighties Bow

The hand of Vengeance found the Bed
To which the Purple Tyrant fled
The iron hand crushd the Tyrants head
And became a Tyrant in his stead»
- William Blake
