Gymnosophia XXV - This Body (+ptl, es, fr)

This body has seen its share
of wear and tear
for more than seventy-five years.

But what of the soul,
going to and fro
for millennia?

And what, anyway,
is a soul?
It knows,perhaps,
but it doesn't say.

[portunhol surenho]

Este corpo tem visto a sua quota
de desgaste
por mais de setenta y cinco anos.

Mas qué da alma,
indo para lá y para cá
por milenios?

Y qué, de qualquer maneira,
é uma alma?
Sabe, talvez,
mas non diz.


[español]

Este cuerpo ha visto su parte
de desgaste
por más de setenta y cinco años.

Pero qué del alma,
yendo y viniendo

Y qué, de todos modos,
es un alma?
Sabe, quizás,
pero no dice.


[français]

Ce corps a vu sa part
d'usure
pour plus de soixante-quinze ans.

Mais qu'en est-il de l'âme,
aller et venir
depuis des millénaires?

Et quoi, de toute façon,
est une âme?
Elle sait, peut-être,
mais ne dit pas.

Gymnosophia XXIV - I Draw Strength

I draw strength
from my nudity.
It is the sun
on my body,
the air in my lungs,
the food I eat,
and a good
night's sleep.
My nakedness is not
the absence of clothes,
but the presence
of my body.

mas a presencia

Business As Usual

It was a shock to realize that there are people who WANT the cruelty, the injustice, to continue. Not that they are particularly cruel themselves, but for the sake of "business as usual." Yes, they would sacrifice millions of lives for business as usual. They would, in fact, sacrifice our world (which is also theirs) in order to have business as usual. They are, in fact, doing it now.

They have the wealth, the power, and all the weight of an unjust system behind them. They care nothing about democracy, or morality, or any human value. They know that it is "business as usual" that enables their greed.

They also know,
even if we don't,
that we have the power
to stop them.

I'm pleased to be able to say that the poems in this blog have been visited 40,000 times since the blog's inception (October 2016). This milestone would have been reached sooner, had I not deactivated my Facebook account for six months. I am currently publishing links to the blog posts on Google Plus (Don Traxler), Facebook (Donald Traxler), Twitter (@dtrax42), and Ello (@dtraxler).. Those posts that contain nudity are not, however, published to Facebook. Thank you all for your support.

Adjusting the Fire

the woodstove insert
in the fireplace
is finicky.
there is a spot,
middle of the slot,
of the bottom vent
control--if you can
hit it,
the fire will burn
brighter and longer.
when I do hit it,
I almost remember
something
"O Mary,"
from my Catholic
grade school,
something I liked,
along with much
that I didn't,
"O Mary,"
something that was
good,
and pure,
"O Mary we crown thee"
and perfect.
"With blossoms today,"
I open the door
with the large,
glass pane,
add some wood,
and have to adjust
the fire again,
trying to get it
just right,
middle of the slot.
"Queen of the Angels,"
goddess-worship
comes easy
to me.
"Queen of the May."
and one of the girls,
one I also worshiped,
would place a crown
of flowers
on Mary's head,
like the crown
of stars
on Mother
Yemanyá.

Accentuation in Udugi

For at least forty years now, pitch has been in rapid decline in the Cherokee language, and it seems that a purely stress accent is taking its place. Udugi, for its part, does not use pitch at all, and only uses stress. A few simple rules will help to put the stress accent where it should go.

The most "comfortable" place for the accent in Udugi is the next-to-last syllable. For example, the tense-endings on verbs, -ase, -ise, -ose, and -use (present, past, future,and conditional) all accent the first vowel of the tense-ending: -áse, -íse, -óse, and úse, which puts the accent on the next-to-last syllable of the word. Words yhaving the objective-case ending, -ne, have the stress accent on the previous vowel, the penultimate syllable. Many words that end in -isdi, or -isgi are also accented on the penultimate syllable. BUT final syllables containing an "o" vowel are accented. Examples: osiyó (hello) and wadó (thank you). The preference for accenting the "o" vowel is so strong that it can even pull the accent to the first or other syllable. Examples: nóquisi, tiyóhali. As a general rule, it is a good idea to accent any syllable that contains an "o" or the vowel "v" (which is also nasalized, by the way). Examples: tsilV, atsilV (I can't type an accent mark over that vowel).

And finally, many three-syllable words that do not contain either the vowel "o" or the vowel "v" are accented on the first syllable. Examples: tsálagi, údugi.

In writing, no one will know if you're accenting the wrong syllable, because we don't write accents. In a way, it's too bad that we don't write them, because "amá" means water, but "áma" means salt. You just have to interpret such cases from the context.

I hope this helps. If you have a question, you can put it into a comment/comentario. Thanks.
