All Ids online...?

ORDER! ORDER!

How can we proceed to heal the whole, if everyone is yelling?

So we try to formulate some basic principles.

And forget about Blue Monday....

Portmanteau Poetry


Poetry is our first defense against totalitarian impulses.
'Manxome', of course, comes from Jabberwocky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky

Comment on an old news item: eating the seal's heart

Eat the sealʹs heart.

Hunt the human remains
Inside your own.

Hidden in hide
is the truth
Donʹt look inside,
for the pains
may catch you alone
and off guard.

Mystery nerdsery rhyme

Will there be fire inside
will it be worn like a cap
wouldn't we want us to
burn if we hide?

How to portray the absence / DULCE ET DECORUM

Really moved by those pictures of soldiers' bedrooms
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/03/21/magazine/20100321-soliders-bedrooms-slideshow.html

Tears to my eyes.
The emptiness, the physicality of it, the many similarities
(those flags, those quilts)...

The neat order, never to be disturbed again by the living presence of those who belonged there.

The waste of it all...

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

Elements of knowing?

1. I am.
2. You are.

------------

3. You show yourself to me.
4. I show myself to you.
5. We communicate through a medium.

------

6. We are, each and every one of us uniquely.
7. The world is.
8. We see the world, but only through the veils
     of mediation.

----

The very least we need to assume is three:
I-am, The world is, the medium is.
But a medium (like language)
presupposes a you, a we, a history.

The medium stands in the way
of the im-mediate.
If there is such a suchness.
As soon as there is a medium,
there are many more entities.
As Lao Tse says:
Ten Thousand Things.

So now: silence.

0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0
