So... This crackles... And when words spark like that... makes you wonder where the spark is coming from.
I appreciate the way you give a nod to the spaces in between... More Alan Watts... If it weren't for the space in between we wouldn't be able to distinguish anything at all.
I don't see any way that the spark can come from the stuff. The stuff has to come from the spark. The spark was always there and always will be there. The forms change. They always have. They always will.
Sounds like you are familiar with the heart sutra? Emptiness is from. Form is emptiness?
Paradoxical mumbo jumbo maybe. Sometimes it feels like it makes sense though.
thank you again for your kind attention , Jed. i spend a lot of time in the spaces between, noticing the sparks, giving them oxygen. i agree - the “stuff” must come from the sparks, but as mr watts would say, there is no “stuff,” really. it’s all a matter of form…
i wasn’t familiar with the heart sutra by name, but in concept, yes. a paradox, sure. and nothing has ever made more sense
Beautiful, Faye.
thank you, angel <3
"this, my darling, is the secret place.
the space between space.
formless form. shapeless shape.
the darkest hour.
without reason
without cause.
— here.
just take what is given,
this wave
yours and yours and
nobody’s claimed it."
