The Spell of the Sensuous

no thing has changed. all conditions change. tired of language. stopping to consume from the archive. the database that, if I did not have, in its massively material form, it would free me to live in the moment. digitizing is no answer because that process does not remove the weight of that past. only complete transformation (by fire) would accomplish that. burnt offering to the present, to presence. if a practice was subsequently developed.
actually approaching the limb of the eighth year of this journal. meanwhile reading, or rather adsorbing, David Abram's book "The Spell of the Sensuous," (recommended by a mutual friend, Eric Fisher) which confirms obliquely several crucial practices that I had not yet been able to firmly frame in my world-view. pleasing and stimulating. but reasons for characterizing drift into stretches where only poetics are meaningless for navigation of the now. discrete, concrete, miscreant. mechanical words, stripped of any life leave traces that mar what is left behind the wave of hand, brush of hair, shadow of hand on the back of the head. what is the be-ing-ness of Light?
