The physical and the metaphysical do meet, do interact, do touch…in structure….
Structure is physical. The physical and the metaphysical do meet, do interact, do touch. And it is here in structure that it happens. We structure a building, a bridge, a garden, our associating, our relating, our meeting. Structure is where consciousness and matter, G*d and humankind meet.

The stuff of the universe is self/….
The stuff of the universe is self
This self expresses itself as structure
The structure appears to our senses as centers
Center is concentration unfolded from folded reality
Centers are local symmetries, meeting
Meeting of selves is therefore central to life

Footprints in the Windsm # 1017–the work that makes you feel most whole
Footprints in the Windsm # 1017
Do the work that makes you feel most whole, that fulfills your deepest desires. Not for any selfish reasons but simply because that’s what makes the world most objectively alive: what most deeply makes me at home does the same for you, all yous. And this makes selling the proposition easy—and unnecessary.
This work is not easy, nor is it selfish—it is a task taking a lifetime and all one’s living energy to find and invent what is one’s truest self and desires. Getting past ego is both supremely difficult and worthwhile.
Please pass it on.

…./I am the whisper disturbing your silence/….
Friend, tell me about yourself….
I am the whisper disturbing your silence
I am the traffic outside interrupting your thought, bringing you here
I am these people, arising with you
I am your ground, your seat
I am the one who means you, meets you, opposes you
I am the loud voices and unheard ones
I am the one of whom you are a part—how could we possibly meet?
I am the raucous voices from the car radio
You are as disturbing to others, do you realize?
I am the notes you make, the insights you gather, the ones you love
I am the cough, the clearing of the throat, the rocking of the chair with a short leg
I love
I go
I come
I meet
I respond
I stand in your face and ask you to respond
I change
I invite—through others and through you—I invite
Let us just be together
The let us go out
And be with others
Inviting
I am void
Pregnant void
Plenum
Heaven & Hell
All things
No thing
I am water
I am wind
I am fire
I flow—I ignite—I whisper
I shout—I demand of you all
I am up I am down
I am message
I am pure
I am action
I am locus
I am practice
I am hearing
I am social action
I am inner
I am outer
I am flow
I am in darkness
I am glimmering darkness
I am with us
I am faithful
I am dependable
I reflect
I am your friend
I am you
I am warmth for your cold hands, cool breeze for you hot brow
I listen, I hear, I care, I am moved
I stitch, I am stitching, I hitch
I am all, the whole, you are part
I converse—dance—turn
I am all conversings
I seek to touch your heart because it is my heart, our heart
I am personal
I speak your language and all languages and dearly want to
