Aganaanooru 139 – Rains are here and he isn’t

In this episode, we observe the anxiety soaring in a lady, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 139, penned by Idaikkaadanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse etches the picturesque changes in the land after the rains. துஞ்சுவது போல இருளி, விண் பகஇமைப்பது போல மின்னி, உறைக்கொண்டுஏறுவது போலப் பாடு சிறந்து உரைஇ,நிலம் நெஞ்சு உட்க ஓவாது சிலைத்து ஆங்கு,ஆர் தளி பொழிந்த வார் பெயற் கடை நாள்;ஈன்று நாள் உலந்த வாலா வெண் மழைவான் தோய் உயர் வரை ஆடும் வைகறை,புதல் ஒளி சிறந்த காண்பு இன் காலை,தண் நறும் படுநீர் மாந்தி, பதவு அருந்துவெண் புறக்கு உடைய திரிமருப்பு இரலை;வார் மணல் ஒரு சிறைப் பிடவு அவிழ் கொழு நிழல்,காமர் துணையொடு ஏமுற வதிய;அரக்கு நிற உருவின் ஈயல் மூதாய்பரப்பியவைபோற் பாஅய், பல உடன்நீர் வார் மருங்கின் ஈரணி திகழ;இன்னும் வாரார் ஆயின் நன்னுதல்!யாதுகொல் மற்றுஅவர் நிலையே? காதலர்கருவிக் கார்இடி இரீஇயபருவம் அன்று, அவர், ‘வருதும்’ என்றதுவே. Only the heart of this verse is situated in the drylands and the whole tends more in the direction of rainy forest landscapes, in these words said by the lady to the confidante, when the man who went in search of wealth, remains parted away: “Darkening as if closing the eyes to sleep, flashing and splitting the sky as if blinking open, clouds that climb up with water resound aloud, echoing above, startling the heart of the land beneath, endlessly thundering, and then fall as a heavy downpour in those last days of the rainy season. After giving birth, these dried-up, half-white clouds surround the sky-high, tall mountains at dawn. At this beautiful hour, when light spreads around the bushes of the forest, after drinking the cool and fragrant water, the male deer with twisted antlers and a white underside eats wild grass, and then rests along with its loving mate on one side of the spreading sands, under the thick shade of the blooming wild jasmine tree. Near them, in the hue of lac, red velvet mites crawl around, as if scattered by hand, in hordes, adorning that moist earth with much beauty. Even at this time, he returns not, O maiden with a fine forehead! What could be his state now? Didn't he promise that he would return before the arrival of that season, when rain clouds would resound with light and thunder!” Time to glimpse the sights on a rainy morning! The lady starts by talking about the world outside, bringing in relatable similes to talk about the rains. The darkening of clouds becomes the closing of eyes to sleep and the flashing of lightning is the blinking of eyes, over and over again. Then, in a striking imagery, which brought a smile, the lady talks about how the heart of land beneath trembles at the repeated sound of the resounding thunder. I imagined the land beneath as a person clutching their heart, every time thunder roared aloud! Returning, the lady says all that’s done, the clouds have poured and retired, their job of giving birth to the rains complete, and they have taken to swirling lethargically around those lofty peaks. As dawn spreads the next day, and the gentle light brightens the bushes, a male deer contently feeds on cool and plentiful water, and munches on wild grass, and takes to resting with its lovely mate in the shade of the blooming jasmine trees, even as red velvet mites run around and have the time of their life on those moist expanses.  The lady has recounted this beautiful scene not as an expression of pleasure, but in contrast to talk about how the man had promised he would be back before this rainy season and yet he hadn’t returned. She concludes by expressing her worry to her friend about his state just then! The lady is just following all the advice a modern psychologist would give a person handling something outside their control – Being acutely mindful of the world outside, being present with the pain inside and expressing all this to a trusted person! Just like how this would help many of us in our own modern troubles, hope the lady too found respite and regained the strength to trust and wait with the patience that the land does, as it waits for the rains after a long summer!

Our pilgrim, Dante, calls the solitary lady over to him. She can't cross the stream that divides them, but she can dance in place before coming closer to him.All the while, the poet keeps darkening the poetry around her with threatening references in the pilgrim's mouth--that is, classical examples of profane love that end up in tragic circumstances.And all this, despite our poet quoting repeatedly from his rival poet's poem.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch meaning get thicker and thicker at the top of Mount Purgatory.If you'd like to help support this podcast by underwriting its many fees, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:30] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 43 - 66.

Jeff Bezos' Vision for Orbital Data Centers: Jeff Bezos has proposed a revolutionary concept of building large-scale data centers in Earth's orbit within the next 10 to 20 years. This ambitious idea aims to leverage continuous solar power and extreme cold temperatures in space to optimize computing efficiency. However, the technical and economic challenges associated with such a venture are immense, with potential costs reaching into the tens of billions.The Rarity of Technological Civilizations: New research suggests that technological civilizations in our galaxy may be exceedingly rare, with the nearest one potentially located 33,000 light years away. Scientists emphasize the delicate balance of geological and atmospheric conditions necessary for intelligent life to thrive, raising questions about our unique existence in the universe.Darkening of the Northern Hemisphere: A concerning study reveals that the Northern Hemisphere is gradually becoming darker, absorbing more solar energy than the Southern Hemisphere. This trend, driven by factors like melting sea ice and reduced aerosol levels, could disrupt global weather patterns and intensify climate change, underscoring the intricate balance of Earth's climate system.Astonishing Growth of a Richie Planet: Observations of the rogue planet CHA 11077626 have shown it pulling in gas and dust at an unprecedented rate of 6 billion tons per second. This behavior blurs the lines between planets and stars, prompting new discussions about the formation of free-floating celestial bodies and their classification in the cosmos.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Bring your attention inward. Noticing the weight of your body on your bed. Feeling the softness of your sheets or blankets. Hearing the soft whispers of your breath as it enters and exits your nose. Observing where your body may be tight and inviting those areas to relax. Relaxing your cheeks and jaw. Lowering your shoulders, Softening your belly, Relaxing your arms and legs. Surrender to the soothing rhythm of your body, And breathe. PAUSE… One by one, the thoughts may bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. Begging for your attention. They tease you with a false sense of importance, Making you feel like you have to give into their cries. But you don't.   Their dramas don't need to be played out right now.  Now is your time for sleep.  Your time to restore your mind, body and soul. Your time to be embraced by the loving arms of the night. Nothing needs to be done.  Nothing needs to be figured out.  Just breathe… PAUSE… The thoughts will continue to arise and that's normal.  They may be helpful thoughts, trying to manage or organize your days. Or maybe they're excited thoughts, swirling with people, ideas and experiences that make you smile with hope and exhilaration. Or maybe they're anxious thoughts, soaked in worry, fear and stress. They could even be seemingly random and strange thoughts, depicting memories or insights that don't make much sense. Whatever is coming to the surface,  See if you can imagine each of these thoughts as a small glowing ball of light, floating in the air around you. And every time you breathe out, Imagine that your breath extinguishes the light on one of these thoughts, one of these balls of light. Breathe out and turn off the thoughts. One by one.  With each breath out.  Darkening the space around you as each ball of light turns off and vanishes into the night.  Breathe out. Breathe out.

This week, we're examining Ezekiel 32, the final chapter of eight in his Oracles Against the Nations. This chapter also concludes the series of seven oracles against Egypt. It consists of lamentations for Pharaoh and the Egyptian forces, symbolically depicting their defeat and descent into Sheol.The sixth oracle against Egypt came to Ezekiel on March 3, 585 BCE, two years after the previous oracle and two months after news of Jerusalem's fall reached the exiles (33:21). By this time, new refugees lived among them in Tel Abib, and they were hearing Ezekiel's prophecies for the first time. All hope of Egyptian intervention was lost.Ezekiel raised a final lament for Pharaoh saying, “You consider yourself a lion among the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, trouble the water with your feet, and foul your streams” (32:2). Ezekiel then returned to his earlier imagery of a crocodile or tannim, a mythical sea monster. Yahweh decreed that he, and a throng of people, would capture the sea monster in a net and hurl it into an open field. Exposed to the elements, the creature would die. Perhaps this was Ezekiel's way of portraying Pharaoh's exile to a foreign land. Scavenging animals and birds would eat from his massive carcass that overlaid the mountains and filled the valleys with his blood (32:3-4).When the creature died, God would darken the skies. He said, “All the shining lights of the heavens I will darken above you and put darkness on your land” (32:7). Darkening the sun, moon, and stars was reminiscent of the Exodus, the last time God confronted the pharaoh by displaying his power over all of nature (Ex. 10:21-24). God also vowed that he would wipe out all of Egypt's livestock (32:13). During the Exodus, the fifth plague God sent on Egypt specifically targeted the animals of Egypt but spared the livestock of the Israelites. According to Ezekiel, so little would survive in Egypt that the Nile River and its channels would have a chance to rest. Without cattle kicking up mud or humans drawing water, the debris would settle, and its streams would run clear as oil (33:14). Support the show

Happy birthday from Radio Lento! ----- Take as a seat one of the large flat stones under a tree. It's a lone tree, full of sparrows. Watch the ocean boats. The high tide is on the turn. Shallow waves rolling about between the rocks. They're playing that game of colouring in. Darkening the boulders to show where they've been. Surge, break, wash, dissolve.   Rest both hands on the sun-warm stone. Follow the ships and boats as they sail the shipping channel. Marine engines are felt as much in the chest as in the ears. Slowly each slides from view. Keep still though, so as not to frighten the sparrows.  Sparrows, and softly breaking waves, and humming boats, and time in a coastal edgeland space, and no interruptions, might be good for a bit of thinking. That kind of thinking best done without notes. Without words or screens, prompts or lists. And without talking. Flow time thinking where thoughts and ideas and worries and inspirations surge, and break, and wash, and dissolve, just like the waves.  * Happy New Year! Episode 251 is our first for 2025.

Tom welcomes back, Jesse Felder, founder, editor, and publisher of The Felder Report, to discuss inflation and its impact on investments. Felder argues that American citizens consider inflation a major issue, despite the Federal Reserve's efforts to contain it. He suggested the Fed might accept higher-than-targeted inflation levels in the future. Felder touches upon bond markets as indicators of potential inflation trends and the possibility of another "lost decade" for stock and bond portfolios due to current valuations. Felder criticizes passive investing, citing negative annual returns over a 10-year period, and emphasizes individual investors' attention to Warren Buffett's investment philosophy, focusing on valuation sensitivity. Buffett's massive cash position in Berkshire Hathaway was discussed, with reasons for his disinterest in gold and cautious approach due to concerns over the fiscal situation. Jesse suggests individual investors pay heed to Buffett's underlying investment strategy while acknowledging opportunities unavailable to Berkshire Hathaway. Felder also highlights the potential for a steep market reversal following the stock market's overexuberance post-Trump's election and emphasized insider activity and buy-sell ratios as indicators of earnings and economic disappointments in the equity market. He encourages investors to be cautious given current extreme valuations. Felder expresses his interest on oil and gas stocks due to the changing inflation environment and the new floor at $70 for oil prices. He believes that energy producers would benefit from a more stable foundation for their commodity, despite concerns about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's size and potential implications of inflation and peak oil production.
