RAISING MY HAND toward the MARGINALIZING of CONFORMITY ...hmmm. In this dispensation the 3rd world man is the Trees and the Cosmopolitan Suit waving his plastic finger, is destined to wander the forest alone. LIGHT plateau - dark CORRIDOR; white black white black: I watched what I saw! The last TIME we gave ourselves to the moment may have been our last reFLECTion before the veil of tears reMINDed us that IT had been a Karmic death.

ALL my THEISM is an AS IF!!

In the Synagogue back as a young person, I'd commence toward creative moments, geometric ploys in an understanding that the walls & halls of the synagogue--Ohavay Zion, the Lovers of Zion, had perimeters I was not opting to go beyond. I knew what it felt like in strange environs, to want to get beyond thresholds, & a house of worship is a reprieve from the frenetic world because it blankets our coveting externalities/ dims our alighting toward the material reality. I could look down the corridor of classrooms & the walls & floor seemed to bend in a circumambulation around gravid G-d thoughts. When else was I ever so mindful of an I & Thou scenario, or Greater Being? I can narrow it down to a breath. The arbor had a secular manifold--unshakeable, because Lexington can be tasted in the domains of the outdoors away from mysterious ritual/ nothing mysterious about play--in reality a stamp of liberty in childhood certainty of the skies above, leaves us off without placating Abraham Our Father, a consort of G-d... naturally we were designed to digest absolutes (in this subjective way--is that possible?), & no authority beyond those reaches had us absorb epicurean sensitivity to the outside world. **I borrowed this idea of geometry as a portal to a creative mind from the Islamic instance; it applies--Peace!!

SUN FACE BUDDHA MOON FACED BUDDHA

The Great master Basho was seriously ill. The chief priest of the temple came to pay his respect.

He asked. “How do you feel these days?”

The master said, “Sun-faced Buddha, Moon-faced Buddha.”

JUST BE

A monk asked Chimon,
“What will the lotus flower be when it has not yet come of out of water?”

Chimon said, “The Lotus flower.”

The monk asked chimon,
“What about when it is out of the water?”

Chimon said, “The Lotus leaves.”

Emptiness.
