the thing

26/1/2022

0 Comments

 
It is the human
the touch
the feel
the holding

The object
is transitory
the experience of the thing 
is the thing itself

Distraction is 
the build up of material
flow through of intention
is the happening

Wonderful clothing
is of little import
when there is 
nowhere to go

A thing is for something
this something can be obscure
so then the thing travels
through imagination’s garden

Admiration and wonder

If to give importance
these things 
are titled as
being weapons

The seriousness of them

Or shall
they be toys

The frivolity

Both sides
the same

The object is not
the thing
the thing is
the grasping
the imagining

A relationship 
then demonstrating
the thing

A simple form

The yo yo is thrown away
​
this action of throwing through the physical nature of the yo yo causes also the return of the yo yo

Why does this feel good?

To physically throw a solid thing away and then for this thing to return

perhaps it confirms what we feel deep down

Life can be simple and mysterious at exactly the same moment

coupling

coupling

an essential mechanical property of joining

(biologically)
​
perfected
through
sexual union

joined
to move
to share

solid
liquid

between

all this is what is between

this is the joining of the absolute

completely separate
                                    absolutely in union

so the same for this time

machine is but one part
mechanical physical
there is a part not this
but apart of this

what is this?
