Victims of the Phurpa...glamour and self-deception, may....for a Time, no longer hold sway, separated from the essence of Being......Yet, they await the open palm of hope and optimism, like the golden gifts to Danae……Repudiative Enantiodromia, Anamnesis and Memory Transformation.....the intellectual tools of projective rationalization, denial and virtual displacement.....It is the Empty Hand that 'holds' the meditative appeasements of calm introspection...and that expresses the potentiality of Openness....

WHERE?......IN THE FOLDING?

We comb the rough, sometimes disparateness of Existence into a less disquieting fabric that we can drape about our Incomprehension.....like the rationalizations of the 'four humors' of Hippocrates....As though Life were a waterfall rather than a conundrum......we seek order and structure.......

That was Then, but This is Now

Follow the Curve.....it is likely to take one full circle, because the perceived horizon is the fixation of attention. Those that maneuver beneath the Surface of 'Things' have a greater challenge, for most of what is and has been or will be lies beneath the observation of senses, in the Cosmos of Incomprehension...to which we apply 'tags' and labels...in the delusional expectations of categorical inclusion and shared mutually substantiated beliefs about what we imagine is Real.......Dive in, with the realization that one's point of entry is a moving target, not a fixed, unchanging objective......Hesitate too long....and you will enter yet another World......that of another Perspective....

The Hula Hoop

The Stillness of an infant, sleeping Awakening, with crying.... As at its beginning breath..... The toppling, searching imbalance, Then, the falling, reaching... Upright, focus-forward, seeking... Yet, dependent.

Constructural Coincidence

transmogrification of two simultaneously interrelated events that invite analytical involvement....requiring one to be forgotten...then the other, upon the realization of the 'loss'......each requiring the interpenetration of the other. constructural antonym for its existence......or.....just a 'picture' of 'this'......meaning, after expression......like attributing personality to the Cosmos......or finding whales feeding wrens..in the dissipation of clouds..........

Darmok And Jalad At Tanagra

It's about the Metaphor, of course.....like "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will smooch a sacred cow as the clock strikes midnight, starting the New Year on a 'new hoof'........ or: there's always the Dance of the Hours, in Fantasia, where Hippos dance to Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours.......demonstrating the Populace's dumbing down of Philosophically contextual relevance as they cross themselves before a statue of a weeping virgin or the 'now grownup Jesus, hanging from some timber......Well, that was circumferentially oblique, wasn't it? Connect the dots and hope that this 'draws' a Picture......that 'says something meaningful'.....Or, do I have to step into this nearby phone booth......if I can find it.....and rip off my suit and tie, hat and shoes?
