Something I have a problem with today: Machines talking at me. If you ever call Microsoft, or Wells Fargo, keep in mind that they will sit you down with the guru, and she will be so nice to you, but she won't be able to understand a shittin word your saying.
But I'm movin forward.
I was reading a book about a poet name W.S. Merwin. I couldn't really understand his poetry, because I know nothing about the style. The author summed it up nicely though. One conclusion the author typically draws is summed up in a quote by Antonio Porchia: "They will say that you are on the wrong road, if it is your own."
Merwin also had an awareness of human tendency to try and escape one order of finality simply to institute another. We speak about our new systems as the end, but in reality, something else will come along, and I guess we just have to take it as it comes. I think it comes from the hope that at some point, we will dissolve our humanity--that we'll have total control.
Here's what I'm partying to (Unreleased track by Unknown [I have no idea]. If you want it, I can send it to you):
Here's what I'm meditating to (Unreleased Track by Blue Daisy. If you want it, I can send it to you. Don't ask me how I got it):
And what I'm thinking about right now:
"The Lord passed by. Then a great wind
tore the mountains apart and shattered
the rocks before the Lord, but He was
not in the wind. After that there was an
earthquake but the Lord was not in the
earthquake. After that came a fire, but the
Lord was not in the fire. After the fire came
a gentle whisper." 1 Kings 19, 11-13.
God's in the quiet things, and I'm glad I know that now.
What I'm hoping for:
