When mortals are alive, they worry about death.
When they’re full, they worry about hunger.
Theirs is the Great Uncertainty.
But sages don’t consider the past.
And they don’t worry about the future.
Nor do they cling to the present.
And from moment to moment they follow the Way.
Bodhidharma
I am aswirl, bird-soul and breeze, amid the cool high mountain trees of the myriad-meaninged knowledge of that thing, savior and destroyer, within. Never has an afternoon passed in such serenity, in life lived so fully, so freely of the maggots of that glob of gross crenulated meat that we call mind. To be here now, wordless, every breath a bringing forth, peering calm and adrift through the interstices of forever.

the history of American Punkrock 1980 bis 86, looks like a nice movie, that is if you where a part of this 1980′s subculture, and digg bands like Black Flag, DRI, Bad Brains.
SYNOPSIS
Generally unheralded at the time, the early 1980s hardcore punk rock scene gave birth to much of the rock music and culture that followed. There would be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat.
Hardcore was more than music
“I can’t understand why anybody should devote their lives to a cause like dope. It’s the most boring pastime I can think of. It ranks a close second to TV.” ~ Frank Zappa
“Frank Zappa is probably the single most untalented person I’ve heard in my life. He’s two-bit, pretentious, academic and he can’t play his way out of anything. He can’t play rock n’ roll because he’s a loser. And that’s why he dresses so funny. He’s not happy with himself and I think he’s right” ~ Lou Reed
