I am an apple, cored my seeds, now racing from me my energy, a fruit, desiccated I rest closer than breath to the ancestral tree It is the way of things, I think; all life feeds off of living, feeds off its environment, feeds off of whatever is slow enough to be captured, to be caught, […]
For those who still do not seem to grok the depth and breadth of sophistication that is only accelerating in surveillance methods and techniques, I submit this paper (one author of which is noted, “Work done at Google.” on the first page). In it, you will find that technology can now parse video, audio, and […]
Humans have spent all existence confining, defining, and refining concepts of relation between things. Any activity can be defined as a series of state changes whose only common denominators are energy / matter in a positive / negative / imponderable state. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of sustainability expected. The […]
Did you know the United Nations is pushing something called “ID2020“? Have you actually thought about how easy it is to profile and track you thanks to technology you willingly carry in your pocket? So much argument about “whether or not its real”. How real do you need it to be? There is the website. […]
I will preface this by saying that, in my oh-so-humble opinion, you can put any word of relation in place of the word [love] in this item. It is nice to feel confident in that opinion, and pretty much all the soft and hard sciences support it, so I can even say (and savor) that […]
My path has ever rolled like an avalanche along; in precious, raw, rough parallels, our movements met and, for a moment, harmonized. A moment’s harmony is not a song, but the moment of harmony creates possibility in all who experience it. My wobbling trajectory, with all its graceless noise, was steadied, albeit a transient state, […]
The weight of Fall breeze, Soft drift, the ash of old fires, Sent to the four winds Like my tale of life The shape of all things to come Crafted by what was But for those times when, As Atlas, my shoulders shrug… Weight of world, falling Drifting like the ash To rest quietly on […]
There’s nothing quite like silence and stillness The moment in which there is nothing The space between breaths The quiet between thoughts A no-thing, a nothing, no-thing, nothing, . Listening to instrumental, meditative streams today, as the polite rejections continue pouring in. I’ve decided to check into pet grooming. It combines the things I enjoy […]
The illusion of self Set forth as other Using dichotomy against itself Via dakini’s warm breath The Buddha, curious, going beyond Three times gone, westward, some say Away from having and not Away from holding and not Away from giving and not A triple jewel, refracting Interlacing, the universe, Quantum nothingness; In which everything is, […]
I finally gave in and watched this show; stars, I’m so glad I did. It’s really nice to have the reality you hold reflected back to you, even if it is only on television. Somehow, just knowing it exists, even if you have only the anecdotes of others to prove it, helps. (Let’s face it, […]
