  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
  • This is a poem written by Rupert after numerous late-night walks in Oxford during lockdown. During these walks, Rupert would often listen to poetry, music or readings from the world’s wisdom traditions. The poem chronicles these walks, and the poets, musicians, sages and mystics who accompanied him. In his own words, ‘It is a tour of some of the great minds in which I have immersed my own mind over these last few months, indeed my whole life. It’s a sort of homage and a song of gratitude to them’.

    This was one of the most beautiful pieces of art Rupert had ever made. From words…to music…to…silence.

      Indeed, that same thought came; truly remarkable, not only in that which you articulate Rupert, but the capacity to recall all of that, beyond extraordinary.
      .....but then that is the thought that arises after nearly everything you articulate; wether it be something you quote, or something that is a livestream download.
      Such gratitude to have come to know you, and the gift you articulate so clearly. 🙏 a.

    What a rich celebration of manifestation and silence, of movement and rest. As I listened it seemed the fabric of spacetime was continually disintegrating and being skillfully rewoven in new configurations. Really transformative. Thank you, Rupert❣️

    No curfew in Oxford?
    Lucky people ❤️
    This is my curfew poem
    Curfew is an idea
    About limits of time and space
    Lack of freedom
    Is an experience in consciousness
    Experiencing lack
    At the same time
    Awareness can not be limited
    So it is
    For ever free
