To blow with the wind, whither you come or go it is a constant movement that many can't understand. You are an enigma to the rulers, the crowd, to the common man. No one knows your name, where you came from, or where you go; just that you’re coming is much like your going with the gust of the wind, a sign in the melody of the skies. You come upon people they attempt to capture you as their own, but being a passer by you pass right through them and become transparent before their very eyes. And they're left wondering if you were even real. You travel among others and what you touch among them becomes healed, they seek to thank you, but again you are gone with the blow of wind. Are you a passer by, passing by what has been built, what has been established? Do you have the capacity to be as the wind, which goes as it comes? Will you find your home; will you ever make it to paradise?

We all have that capacity, few have the capacity when in search of a paradise.

i imagine Rilke is more desirable poignant; i imagine I agree such as his point of view more desirable. It relies upon on what form of splendor is being stated. If actual splendor is being stated, then Rilke's remark of it truly is ephemeral personality is maximum apt. actual splendor is superficial, and would not very last. Freud's evaluation of "psychological well being" is puzzling as he's making a fee judgement on human cognition, which looks in competition to Rilke's more desirable poetic information of someone's reaction to splendor. Metaphysical or emotional splendor looks the option, notwithstanding, lasting in memory and having an eternal conduit as long as there are human beings round to get excitement from it. Examples could contain philosophy, paintings, music, or someone's personality. And the more desirable fragile the form of splendor is, the more desirable functional and collective it truly is, as human beings can relate and interrelate with such expressions. i'd not describe metaphysical splendor as ephemeral, even with the very undeniable reality that it may nicely be fragile.

I was once told that I was a mystery, wrapped in a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma. Does that count?
I've also been told that I have a healing touch. An ex (who was and is an atheist, and one of my best friends) told me I'm like Jesus. I didn't quite know how to take that one.
But to be a passer-by, in the sense you put it? I don't know. I think in a way we're ALL like that. Each of us are just trying to find our way home.

An aspiration:
"In these quiet years growing calmer,
Lacking knowledge of the world’s affairs,
I stop worrying how things will turn out.
My quiet mind makes no subtle plans.
Returning to the woods I love
A pine-tree breeze rustles in my robes.
Mountain moonlight fills the lute’s bowl,
Shows up what learning I have left.
If you ask what makes us rich or poor
Hear the Fisherman’s voice float to shore".
Wang Wei (699-759 AD)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though this a possibility to me for the most part. I have a tendency to throw energy and people seem to know when I'm around. To be a passer by would be something new to experience though.

At times for months straight on end and now, even with structure and small children....it happens.....
"to those who have ears, I am here!
I AM, hear!
I have never left you,
but you did not hear.
My babes, my babes,
take comfort in this lullaby,
to open your ears ....
to the wind ,
to My Spirit,
dancing in the trees."
the Spirit moves me....I follow.
