pink rose, anonymous (what's in a name?)

Part I

space
and form.
letters
and empty.


three corollaries of Saturday morning satsang:

1) if enlightenment is an experience devoid of meaning, then ignorance must be the source of all knowledge - it is the original sin of embodiment.

2) we explain, incessantly, the things we see around us in an attempt to avoid the simple humility of saying, "i don't know."

3) the act of naming defines our relationship to things; we take possession of the object.



Part III

structural
potentiality.
syntactic
contextuality.
paradigmatic
indeterminacy.
collapsing
possibility.
the taking of form;

sometimes it takes possession of us.
