Elipses...

I like eclipses...because that implies there is more to the story and that I don't know all of the answers because maybe (maybe!) the emerging nature of the universe (and certainly our perception...) allows new answers to form. 

Maybe we can (do...?) try on new realities just for fun because (maybe...) there is no one permanent reality. (That is not to excuse ALL things or even to explain all things. It is to allow all things whatever is to be.)

"That's crazy talk."

"Yes. But, is it really?"

another unbroken line

the unbroken line steers

thru you unaffected unphased

sense of purpose

                           denied

on purpose

                  over and over

again: you dream of something

meaningful, light not (yet) focused

covering you which is to say

       uncovering you

layer after layer

          the sounds like velcro

          unclothing disrobing

          revealing


hey is that you? is that the you

you wanted to reveal?

                                     or,

does that you, catch you, as

     much by surprise as

the rest of us?

Tradition?

 

doug smith quotes

The trouble with revolution is breaking things. The problem with ignoring tradition is that you forget what got you here, and what has mattered before.

Certainly, we don't need to follow tradition without question.

We also don't need to overplay our hand. Nuance is an art. Inspiration is an art. Balance...well, you know...it's an art.
