night moves

2009-12-08T22:31:00.000-08:00

scrambling,
renewed,
up,
the channel, the floor back,
the movement, the press down,
the rhythm, the breath out,
the pace, momentum carries,
forward, down into gravity,
finding movement
like a stroke, no other, no other
stroke gone,
lighter than before,
time

Thinking of Bukowski

2009-12-07T11:56:00.000-08:00

"Born into this"
move into this
dream into this
which is your own,
time-lapse between instantiation,
of things
remembered or known,
of things
inspired from
a part of this,
of this

But in this country we have one great privilege which they don't have in other countries. When a thing gets to be absolutely unbearable the people can rise up and throw it off. That's the finest asset we've got--the ballot box.
- Mark Twain, interview in Boston Transcript, November 6, 1905

It isn't so constrained as logic might at first indicate,
or so free as the mind might wish.

Ready to move

2008-10-14T18:16:00.000-07:00

States of awareness don't seem to be confined to any particular space or time. Instead of seeking the spaces they can cross, one might wonder if there are any spaces they can't.

Embers

2008-10-13T11:07:00.000-07:00

Touching on the light core,
of red, fire like, heat in,
the center of the belly,
activating the core,
walking up the hill,
remembering.

Inside

2008-10-09T10:17:00.000-07:00

There are places
all around
you can enter
for a moment
as a new world.

Rising

2008-10-08T12:42:00.000-07:00

Remembering lightness,
some forgotten world,
shedding what came before,
except for the occasional,
embeddings,
which seem to create the sticky surfaces,
upon which memory resides.

That's like writing on water; you really can't say anything about it because it is not visible. It has no shape. You can't tell that you've done anything. These benefits come from working non-intentionally. I can work without knowing what I'm doing, and the strange thing is that it's to my liking; and even stranger that it's to other people's liking too. That's very funny. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I know.
-- John Cage

Air

2008-10-07T09:02:00.000-07:00

Invited by the wind,
clearing the sky,
walking,
again,
repeating,
again,
the breath,
opening and merging,
with the space,
the body,
the container,
the line is thin.

Water

2008-10-06T09:30:00.000-07:00

Nice, misty day.
Wetness to the fore,
the fluidity of arthritic legs,
still there,
full ranging influence
on the inner and outer
worlds in constant mix
so fluid,
so changing,
distractions,
moving, too,
all
one
taste, touch, feeling,
next
step

Library

2008-10-01T09:19:00.000-07:00

Aligning ankles,
aligning hips,
aligning shoulders,
aligning neck,
breath out,
leaning back,
breath in,
leaning back,
continuity,
movement,
frame by frame.

everything

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

--Rainer Maria Rilke

Running off

2008-09-23T08:13:00.000-07:00

Filtering, breathing, projecting,
take it back in,
to the belly.

Walking, breathing, projecting,
take it back in,
to the belly.

Back in,
where it started.

Oh...

Singing

2008-09-16T08:54:00.000-07:00

Sometimes things reveal themselves, but generally they are just happy to be where they are.

"Every answer asks a more beautiful question"

Layers

2008-09-11T08:45:00.000-07:00

Stepping into focus
various, tendencies
of mind, of considering some
layers
relevant to the cause
while others simply
manifest
across boundaries
by themselves, fully
energized, in light.

Direction

2008-09-10T08:48:00.000-07:00

Growth as a one way street,
is kind of narrow
considering,
death is part of the
requirement
for growth.
Might as well,
roll that into the mix.
