Road signs? Yes, many,
usually felt, not seen. They are known as "heart’s desires." |
| 89111403 |
View your circumcision as
a battle scar, if you like. |
| 89111501 |
Congruence, existential
congruence is possible. Between "entities," between sentient systems. |
| 89111502 |
Road signs: resonances
from possible futures. |
| 89111503 |
Mutual purification
through congruence. |
| 89111701 |
Isolation is in the
eye—and skin—of the beholder, and the beholden. |
| 89111702 |
Symbols of empowerment.
Numbers, words. |
| 89111801 |
I sought solace. This is
what I found. It helped. I don’t know what it means. |
| 89111901 |
Do not take pride in any
of your accomplishments. They have all been injurious. You have no way of knowing how
injurious and to whom. |
| 89112101 |
Go gently along the path.
There may be other effective demeanors. I am doubtful. |
| 89112102 |
One day your pelvis will
feel full and you will know you are pregnant. |
| 89112205 |
Either we enter new
worlds and find new cultures, or we stultify, as did the Chinese behind their many walls. |
| 89112301 |
The trees have been
lonely even longer than we have. |
| 89112302 |
Without frequent,
regular, mindful balancing, growth old and new will continue warped and stunted. The tree
grows with the prevailing wind, weather, soil, and friends. We can choose to grow
straight. |
| 89112303 |
Joy trickles briefly
through a tiny, fast-closing hole in my joy-resistant armor. I am left awestruck, hopeful. |
| 89112501 |
Meditation by analogy.
Trees. Swans. Rocks, even. Put yourself in their place. |
| 89112601 |
The east can learn
something from the west about the metaphysical value of the bowed head in prayer. A valve
opens. |
| 89112602 |
The law of equivalent
communication: Nature speaks on a level and in a language equivalent to the emotional
content of your heartful questioning. |
| 89112603 |
Emotion is our
flat-earth, our uncharted sea, our mis-apprehended reality. They (the ancients), remember,
watched ships disappear at the horizon but ignored the obvious implication. What is the
equally obvious, equally ignored implication of laughter? |
| 89112604 |
Science.
"Science." As primitive, narrow, and distorting as any organized religion. It
succeeds and replicates because in an age of instant gratification it produces instant,
repeatable results. How quickly it could be healthily displaced and superseded! |
| 89112701 |
Playground, not prison,
always, when you choose, always. |
| 89113001 |
Not tests, not burdens,
not punishments, but opportunities for growth. |
| 89113002 |
The communion and
fellowship of things. |
| 89113003 |
It would be difficult to
overestimate the comfort Houston has given me. |
| 89120201 |
Trees: The half which
brings and supports life is not visible. |
