Description
Very large compilation of universal investigations of being and the Cosmos. A few color illustrations.The 'false' and melted vacuum was liquid energy-Unstructured, unordered, and going nowhere,But, then, inexplicably, it 'fell',As from a kind of 'shelf'…Whirling, twirling and swirling inwardUntil there was no more inward left.It 'thought' that its future could never be,That its quality was but writtenOn the water and the windWith a feathery quill,Whose...

Einstein was right about the Block Universe, as all at once, but there is a more to it, of there being no absolutes, everything relative to but itself, and so it cannot be affected by anything outside of it, and, it, thus, just is, making it eternal, with infinite scenarios, one of which is ours.

We have often asked why some space exists,Why it permits the countless to briefly persistOn Mother Earth, nourished under Father Sky-All of those finite sparks that light and die.There were those who endlessly debated,Whether to live in their virtuals unabated,Or to press forwards and outwards, of delirium,To seek out new localities in the mysterium;But, the pauses of the heavy particles continued,And so there was nowhere to go for the retinued.It...

Omar Khayyam wonders and writes of the human condition,The sphere upon which mortals come and go,Has no end nor beginning that we know;And none there is to tell us in plain truth:Whence do we come and whither do we go.-Ahmad Saidi versionand concludes, eventually, after coming full circle from his deconstructions of religious myth-takes,Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,Before we too into the Dust descend;Dust into Dust, and under Dust to...

This edition contains the text of all my quatrains, about 650, as selected from Today's Rubaiyat and my other books. Inspired by Omar, I have endeavored to capture his spirit for more modern times, although I have surely been influenced by Edward FitzGerald's translated gems.
