Nouns Kill

"The moment you make it a noun, you kill it. The moment you make it a noun you stop its growth. Nouns don't grow, only verbs grow"




*** 

Reminds me of Taoism again, Witter Bynner did one of my favorite translations:

Existence is beyond the power of words
To define:
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately
Sees to the core of life
Or passionately
Sees the surface,
The core and the surface
Are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.

***

ONE-DER names them both...

A friend told me today, he seeks to try to think in patterns unused, untaught to him by media. To stop seeing relationships through the eyes of Mickey's minions. To feel the little things, the sand beneath your toes, speak to yourself in song and poetry. How much of your internal dialogue is plagiarized? Not that you cannot repeat words that inspire, but are they words of truth, by an author of virtue and re-noun?

PSA - Best News Ever?

Speech...Speech...Speech....

"You said you were going to give a speech, about what?" <Smirky face> "Something like this, but more wholey."



"Wholey? You mean holy?" she was unamused; trying to give an epic speech, people often get caught up in the semantics, the spelling...

Guess I do too...

I met a girl at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors...

"What were we talking about again?"

A gain...

"God only knows..."

***

The Speech! Right, we'll get to it...

One Month's Time

I have lost the plot, haven't said anything in awhile, in a weird place now...

A girl told me, one I thought I would marry, about The Doors... of opportunity, much like the doors of perception, I'm sure...

The Law of Rhythm... Another man told me, about life like a pendulum, push it one way and it's bound to come back. Everything is like the ocean, tides high and low.

Many doors open, often at the same time, leaving you to choose. The Girl said, she often sits back to ponder, which would be best? After waiting too long, she is left running through the last door as it closes. The best opportunities are often the fastest closing doors. May be...

"Looking for love perhaps? You did get broken-up-with today" Brian typed to his Laptop.

"...You push and pull and you tell yourself no..." Spotify replied.

Semantics I s'pose, she spoke the whole time, I seldom listened closely.

"How relevant!" I chuckled. Those little coincidences made him believe. 

***

Are you speaking in the first or the third person?

"Depends, talking to the ego or something beyond?"

Alright bro, don't be a dick, just post some pictures why don't ya?

"Always buy her flowers. She doesn't really like flowers, but she's always on a diet. Don't tempt her with Lady Godiva"

***

"It's like Mad Max... Go running, looking for paradise lost. Then you just go back, into the fire."
...Don't be a hero?

***


"It's like flying over a circuit board. As above, so below... Check this video out, if you please:



***

"Why the sunset? Why not dawn?" 
Snooze ya lose...
And don't show them all your cards! Be mysterious, speak volumes with the light, your gaze, your silence. You can hear plenty with your eyes!
"Yada yada, hear with your eyes, talk with your silence. Such a pompous motherfucker!"

***


"I haven't forgotten about you..."

***

"So what the hell are you doing in Israel anyways? You're in the UK now? Right..."

"I'll get to it, just wanted to say hi first..."
