See more of life’s spirals

We can be aware of life’s spirals at any stage in the process. The object and the advantage is to see more of the stages, more of the process, and ultimately more of whatever contains the process.

We are perhaps only aware of what we see as the “facts” of the It world. Fine. Then let us proceed from where we are; how could we start from any other place?

We can admit that someday this too shall die. From that glimpse we can imagine that we see that something else might replace these facts. We can see that the replacement might be better for different times. We could explore that some replacement might be better for these times. Or accommodate ourselves to the idea that someone else might have a different observation point (and it might even be legitimate!). We have suspended, and stepped into replacement. Then can we free ourselves from our present ideas, even for a few seconds, can we let go the idea that what is is the only way?

Here then is the next step: start it all over.

A conversation is a compost heap

A conversation is a compost heap—things get thrown, digested, spit back.

Throwing the unused food in our heap

We let go, throwing the unused food in our heap. That is letting go. The bacteria and natural processes disorganize it, replacing it with something else, that in turn is used as the soil in the garden to provide food, that by turns ends up in some compost heap.

the world you see is not

always remember
the world you see is not
the world I see
neither is even
the world that is

What would you say next?

If you had the ability
to let go your darlings
what would you say next?

I’m chasin’ ya, Friend

I’m chasin’ ya, Friend
till I am caught
I have a picture of you
what’s your picture of me?

freely give to humanity

Practice directness

Practice directness
depart not what we need
intimacy
the higher
some will crave
others spit on you
that is not your concern

This is where the news is

This is where the news is
emerging events, patterns, gestures
but let go of the new, too
intermediate possible, yes and
presence is prologue
suspend even that, sit in a new chair,
let go your babies, especially your babies
