Advanced Leisure

I started another blog that I will loosely term a "lifestyle blog." It is really a place for meditating on the nuances of everyday objects and the time that we pass as "leisure." My first post is on chairs. I came up with this idea as a means to prompt myself to think about an everyday object in more creative ways. The more I thought about the subject, the more I realized that such an exercise can be very fun and even surprising at times. I hope that you will check it out. Thank you for reading!

TENSION OF PRESENCE

 A human being is content searching for form.  My spirit flows away from me, reaching back to this Earth, returns to me anew, a force of Becoming. I am a river that ebbs and flows. ME crashing into NOT-ME, just as this world is eternally unrestful, always at war with itself. Constant movement presses us toward the present; we are carried onward, but we may clutch about in fright, lurching forward or retreating into memory. These are the integrations of a tumultuous mind: thinking that it is,  needing to be, yet becoming something unfamiliar.

ABSTRACTION

Once fire was naught but burning. Abstraction found it capable of holding. Through reduction, man sought new control, unmindful of the weight upon his soul; And it was then that the gods absconded, to roost in Olympian obscurity. Abstraction bound Prometheus to his rock, endlessly devoured by a world made recurrent.

EXILE

  1. Permitted one day:   collect things be beyond border or else.   2. A broken circle closes behind me.   I spin-off indefinitely, absent gravity.   3.   My memories disserve me—I must leave that life behind   again and again; again and again.   4.   I see familiar forms. I think I am home— I slip into an abysmal zone— I gaze into a labyrinth  of memory,  sink into a haze of yesterday’s today.   5.   I did not abandon your memory. It might return.
