“I intend 'Dämmerung' to be an ironic meditation on the financial rewards of poetry and a tragicomic lament on the passing of time and the changes in literary taste. The other poets mentioned are my poetic cohort from the U.K. I wrote the piece in situ, as it were, while making a television documentary about World War I in Germany.” WorldWarPiecesMeditationTelevisionPoetTasteRewardsFinancialPassingPassingsWar Of The WorldsGermanyPoeticIronicWorld War IDocumentariesLament Author:Simon Armitage
“If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.” IfsWayLifeInspirationalFeelsEarthMotherChangePiecesMeditationEatingRainRootsGratefulSoilSunshineMother EarthCarrotsTrue Life Author:Nhat Hanh
