The pure seed pattern is that which is present in all things. It is the driver of all evolution, the cycle of all living things, and The singular, paradoxical anomaly in any organized system, and/or/else/not (all non-organized systems). You can find the pattern anywhere that you can develop a way to “look” for it. It […]

They are enjoyed, regardless (though this seems usually to engender negative response in the world around me). The glorious exception […]
There is a place where nothing is; all being and life extending and extruded, and spasming senses tremble for sensation that is not. A great and terrifying paradox – the ALL THAT IS NOT – within which no name can stand, no label will stick, and no boundary, be declared. It cannot fit in words, […]
