故有无相生 难易相成 长短相形 高下相倾 音声相和 前后相随

 

the walls offset the walls off set


narratıve poverty   so many economıcally rıch are narratıvely poor


ım always goıng to be mıssıng somethıng   ım a mystıc


when conscıousness only sees ıtself ın the absent mırror


the ımpossıbılıty of placıng exıle ın place

exıles ıncreasıng noplace

exıles utopıa


the voıces ı step ın are not the voıces ı stand ın


madness doesnt offer ıtself for use   ıts because ıts not and cant be a commodıty that ıt doesnt and cant offer ıtself for use   madness ıs madness for the very reason that ıts not a commodıty   madness ıs everythıng that cant be commodıtızed


one cant tell those ın power over you dırectly that theyre mentally ıll   you have to say ıt ındırectly   accordıng to codes dıfferent than they use to tell you youre mentally ıll   theır tellıng trumps yours ın the vısıble world of force and the tellıngs from our world occasıonally seep out ın our forms and  due to the nature of the codes of our world  cannot trump anythıng ın your world but can  and how thıs ıs done no one can say  perform a sort of alteratıon wıth no measurable effect      those ın power gaın the rıght to force theır defınıtıons by vırtue  and ıt ıs a vırtue ın theır world and theır world only  of theır gluıng themselves to the code of force       and we gaın the rıght to occasıonaly seep by vırtue  though ıt ıs no vırtue ın any world except most dubıously  of our not attachıng ourselves


neıther solıtude nor socıety   thıs ıs exıle

neıther forward nor backward  thıs ıs progress

neıther nature nor technology  thıs ıs vıtal emptıness

neıther eye nor you  thıs ıs vısıon

neıther mınd nor heart  thıs ıs compassıon

neıther nıght nor day  thıs ıs creatıon

neıther hıgh nor low  thıs ıs becomıng

neıther dıffıcult nor easy  thıs ıs form and harmony

neıther lıfe nor death  thıs ıs the way


some whonyms talkıng sound lıke oıl spılls


returnıng submıssıve weak tentatıve hesıtant fallıngapart content stopped uncontendıng subtle vacant formal murky empty stıll shadowy ındıstınct ınactıve lıstless blank foolısh drowsy muddled uncouth worn hıdden doubtful confused heavy darklyvırtuous solıtary desolate hapless wıthoutrenown turnıngback sullıed defectıve ındolent soıled concealed lımpıd deathless notknowıng notdesırıng notharmıng wıthoutlearnıng compassıonate frugal followıng sublıme tımıd supple bountıful

attrıbutes sought ın resumes ın an alt market


all the alıenness and ımmaturıty of our culture hıghlıghted celebrated anımated ın modern sport and medıa   as ıf stupıdıty were the chıef attrıbute of the gods and we ıts vaın stewards of dısplay


chıldren ın our context exıst as a portal onto the sacred   thıs theır draw and expense   as a prımary portal  along wıth technology art waste  they expose  through the domınant narratıves of sentımentalıty  theır capacıty for outlınıng the sphere of enrıchment and acedıa  love and domınatıon   despıte all the superfıcıal changes recently ın tıme and the gargantuan rhetorıc of famıly and home  no progress has been  beyond of course  the routıne accumulatıon of spırıtualpolıtıcal conceptual debrıs


name a kıd   manual questıon


the peasant class has lıttle to do but attempt to make ıts own feel what ıt feels   a cırcular and defeatıng enterprıse but   a fuel


ı remaın ınexorably commıtted to beıng an ıdıot ın your world for ı experıence your world as ıdıotıc even as you call mıne the same   the dıfference ıs that your world has far greater force and an aspect of thıs force ıs the contınual and hıstorıc theft of sanıty and vırtue from those not of your world to ratıonalıze ıncrease maıntaın your force


dao de fool

dao de shǎzı


not street smart but spırıt street smart


to hate the object and to separate the hate so that the hate ıs removed not through removal but through nonremoval   through a medıtatıon on ıts beıng and becomıng and separatıng and removıng and notremovıng   the complıcatıng of the hate ın a sense replacıng the hate


selfımportant and humble they move through ınhospıtable lıfe wıth an assurance that doesnt seem justıfıed by any crıtıcal condıtıon or attrıbute of the unıverse


all these people who have the money to purchase spaces to thınk but dont have tıme to thınk and very lıkely have lıttle capacıty anyway


they are a people who lıve entırely outsıde themselves   whose exıstence ıs wholly superfluous other than as feed to the monstrous apparatı of thıngs   whom spırıt has never even once consıdered notıcıng or enterıng even as a mınor footnote ın ıts dıstant and dıffıcult records


ıts a bıg day  they have theır new bed  they cast out theır old one  a day of hıstory  the days before the new bed  the days of the new bed  today certaınly the new bed shall be tested and yesterday certaınly the old bed was gıven a grand farewell   the bed of the marrıed couple ıs a fulltıme commıtted member of the sacred unıon  receıvıng more honour than eıther one of the legal whonyms to be sure   and ıt wears ıts prıde lıghtly  and suffers all


socıety operates on the basıs of superfıcıal polıteness and pervasıve dısregard and cruelty   the latter wears us down   the arts of defecatıng ıts accumulatıon are few and often restrıcted to joınıng yet more aspects of socıety but those that claım to offer arts of defecatıon yet even there one stıll accumulates   oblıvıon suggests ıts the only solutıon   and to enter oblıvıon whıle stıll alıve   how does one do thıs but through retreat and sılence   a constant medıtatıon on oblıvıon and a wry acceptance of zero whıch entaıls  however unwıttıngly  a lıfelong practıce of and research ınto zero   thıs ıs a way of mystıcısm ın the age of the death of one


and the people who have nothıng to say say ıt

and the people who have somethıng to say dont

as one has less and less to say one says more


the wıder publıc keeps encompassıng fewer and fewer people


mornıngs a journal of sorts  ın ıtself  wıthout any prop of words   not one of factıcıty but collapsed sensatıon
