About Triples, Trios, And Triads: An Eclectic Journey
Triples, Trios, and Triads is composed of short articles and pictures collected and annotated over the years by a person who has studied physics, who has taken the "Journey to the East", lived the late 1960s in Haight-Ashbury, made free-form geodesic sculpture in a Soho loft, walked along the pilgrimage trail by the Ganges River in the Himalayas, and taught in colleges in the Bay Area, New York, South Thailand, and South India. He also drove a cab in Manhattan and worked in his father’s hardware store in Baltimore. Topics include Advaita philosophy, American history and politics, Buddhist ideas, Celtic triads, culture, European history, music, religion, science, Western Philosophy, and gleanings from the wisdom traditions. The author invites his readers to take their time with the collection; to meander, ponder, consider, contemplate, meditate, laugh, and enjoy. The items have been brought together under the umbrella of the number “three.” But there is no numerical mysticism intended for as Sri Muruganar, the great Tamil poet and disciple of the sage Ramana Maharsahi wrote, “This world of triads appears only in the mind like the illusory ring of fire formed in darkness by whirling the point of a glowing rope-end.” In the Celtic tradition, we find the triad- “Three types of men do not understand women: young men, middle-aged men, and older men.” And Shakespeare gives us this triple: “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”What is this book about? Why it’s meandering, pondering, considering, contemplating, meditating, laughing, and enjoying.
