Doing Not Doing

See human urge and roiling intense desire and flux

Sit with gentle flame in belly and tend to it

Do not flee from it

It is you

In total physical or existential or political disarray

Breathe deeply and find self in universe

Not on screen not just in mind but in body and root and ankle and forehead and fingers

Failure is not eternal

“The master does not pin anyone motionless with a judgment of good or bad”

translation note in tao te ching 

Thin moments and release and faith 

In between tense self conscious fear of others 

Impossible standards emanating from self applied everywhere

No humility or awe or gratitude

The well is once again dry (impossible!)

Simple gifts from the universe have always been enough

Chasm fear of failure or image being punctured

Paranoia jealousy hatred beget/propagate/replicate themselves as images

Human time over machine efficiency

“The unnamable is the eternally real

Naming is the origin

of all particular things”

TTC 1

Europeans went and named everything anyways

Damnable quest for control

Fleeting buckling earth

Non-secret taste for luxury incompatible

Synthetic extraworlds channeling souls

Absurd arcane universe from certain view

Technology magic human imperfection

“If you overesteem great men,

people become powerless.

If you overvalue possessions,

People begin to steal.”

TTC 3

\

It is an inspiration to be sober and observe intense emotions in process of de-acclimating

And to find human peace and space and time in a machine age

More like ‘create’ instead of find
