2 pieces (Hurricane, Violin, Wheeling Birds) ___ Buildings, The Storm, Vortex, Slough, Frozen Water Falling Down https://youtu.be/FoleMPo3vpI Video http://www.alansondheim.org/slough.jpg Skim the video, it's long.. Problems of dating.. Again I keep coming back to this which is why did Jesus or other religious leaders, messiahs, appear at one time and not at another and what does this mean for people who are believe in life after death or Nirvana in other words why would God. Why would God do something like appear one time and ignore all the people who had lived earlier than that who had lived before then. The 2nd thing is the question of testimony in relationship to articulated structures out of artificial intelligence - what is the role of testimony - what is the role of the Testament - what is the role of hearing from a body that is circumscribed or inscribed within and without a body and a mind that are connected intimately to what has happened to them in the world. And how does that relate to us who have similar bodies perhaps almost identical bodies that shimmer and suffer in the same way. 3rd. This is the cessation of death when the body disappears but the universe continues with, continues with, its quantum paradoxes and what might lie in relationship to mind in the cosmos. 4th or 5th. What is it that I hold in my hand. When my hand is holding nothing but cupped upward. What does Dogen have to say about this and how can one move without the apparatus of Buddhism or Zen. I move without the apparatus of Buddhism or Zen. I am this way and that way. I am neither this nor that. I don't see the universe in the flower but I see a flower in the universe as an equivalent but of what. When I go on and I will go on you will have left debris behind. As will all of us. I will not see you again at that point. You may want to read what I written you may want to listen to the music I have done by myself or with others. You may want to do none of this. You may forget my name. You may forget my writing. You may forget my language. You may forget language. You may forget yourselves. You may be forgotten. Problems of the furious snowstorm which covers everything with vortices that parallel and we like directly to the most intricate shapes, shapes for this season, waves of catastrophic theory and mathematical dynamics. All mathematics is dynamics.. All dynamics is mathematics. All mathematics is dynamics. Remember when you look at this video when you surround yourself with it you must realize that what you cup in your hand I do not know what you're cupping in your hand. When the dictation goes off everything goes off and the train of thought is lost. When it returns I won't be there. I won't be there at all. Night thoughts can be the worst. I am sure there are worst. This is the thought of the blizzard, the 4th largest here, variously recorded. It is obdurate. The flakes describe vectors in the camera. They follow damaged geodesics of wind, temperature, humidity, effects of illumination and melt. The video is long, present for scanning. There's a cathedral in the distance, a federal building, rooftops, bad road design, and always emptiness, sinter, grit, wind. The wind winds. Didn't we always want to say that? Didn't we? And in the middle of the night, this is what I was able to write. To think, in the middle of tears over friends I have lost, To a reprieve, yes, a reprieve of the body as it harbors multitudes. As it harbors organisms, organics, elements, skeins, flows, currents, inputs and outputs. You wouldn't believe the body, I don't. Not in this storm, these conditions. Not here, not now. But then everywhere, for a moment in time. +++ +++ +++ about the flight of wheeling birds http://www.alansondheim.org/violinux.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/ight.jpg image: wheeling pigeons above the usual parking lots query: why do birds wheel? answer: too many: in order to orient their geomagnetic sense; in order to avoid a predator; to keep warm; and so forth. my answer: for fun. except in obvious cases - ravens flying upside down and doing acrobatics (we've seen this) crows using a bottlecap to slide down a roof and so forth - avian activity seems all too often defined in terms of instinctual, almost automated scripts. at least in Providence, watching closely a number of times, pigeon wheeling seems free-wheeling, birds coming together, separating, looping disparately, returning, and so forth. I'm sure it's fun, pleasurable, exercise with perhaps no other purpose at all. poets understand this, the sources I've read write otherwise. we think of avian culture, and there's no reason that fun, exercise, and gaming shouldn't be a part of it. I'm also sure that these sentences are grammatically incorrect, perhaps I've left a subject behind or even a verb, I'm not sure. I'm suffering at the moment from extreme heartburn and of course this affects everything, including an ability to concentrate. Earlier (note the beginning capital) I recorded violin, after not playing it for several months; I've never been really good on violin, but this sounds ok and I was having fun and exercise and the sound is actually okay; I'm always surprised when I can play a bowed instrument, it beats sliding on a bottlecap and I should really go now since I'm in somewhat terrible pain (really) and hope the repeated medications I've just taken will get ride of it. (He didn't actually know what else to write.) +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
