... it's a world full of vagabonds with backpacks. The Dharma vagabonds who refuse to subscribe to the General requirement to consume products, and therefore to work for the privilege of consuming all this shit, which they still do not need: refrigerators, televisions, cars, well, at least, new and fashionable, hair oil, deodorants and other junk, which in the end a week later will still be in the trash, they are all prisoners of the sweatshop, production, consumption, work, production, consumption, I have before my eyes the vision of the great backpack revolution..

Jack Kerouac. The Dharma Bums

Так буває в лісах, вони завжди здаються знайомими, давно забутими, як обличчя давно померлого родича, як давній сон, як принесений хвилями уривок забутої пісні, й більш за все - як золоті вічності минулого дитинства або минулого життя, всього живого та вмираючого, мільйон років тому так само країло серце, й хмари, пропливаючи над головою, підтверджують це почуття своєю самотньою знайомістю. #jackkerouac - #thedharmabums https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5BjjnH22r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vmrxm1ptpgkv

Happy birthday, Jack! ・・・ “Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” Except in this instance, when Allen Ginsberg was behind him.

There's a cowboy under that hat. (We are The Dharma Bums) John Muir Wilderness, Ca Photo by Joseph Pérez I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling.

"How could I tell them that my knowing was the knowing that the substance of my bones and their bones and the bones of dead men in the earth of rain at night is the common individual substance that is everlastingly tranquil and blissful?" ~ Jack Kerouac ... #yoga #kerouac #thedharmabums #mossyforest #moss #newfoundland #words #feels (at Newfoundland and Labrador)

Currently Reading; The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac ☸️🚂🧔🏻🍾📝🏔🧗🏽‍♂️🌅 Published in 1958 The story focuses on two ebullient young Americans— mountaineer, poet and Zen Buddhist Japhy Ryder, and Ray Smith, a zestful, innocent writer— whose quest for truth leads them on a heroic odyssey, from marathon parties and poetry jam sessions in San Francisco’s Bohemia to solitude and mountain climbing in the High Sierras #thedharmabums #jackkerouac #dharma #bums #50s #poetry #travel #fiction #adventure #buddhism #buddhist #zen #bohemian #bohemia #book #books #bookworm #currentlyreading #read #reading #mountainclimbing #sanfrancisco #highsierra
