CELEBRATES
a kind, singular and porous identity that contains some of the scruples, humor, musicality and beauty of a harsh and confusing, yet benign and rich reality
– away from distractions
& BEMOANS
the stupidity and blindness of
complacency, violence, injustice,
pretense, egos,
short-term/wishful and group “thinking,”
and empty talk
[in all of its surprising embodiments]

About a world
NOT so caught up in anthropo/ego/euro/ethno/oculo/esthetico -CENTRISM.
Stephen Crane talked about this a while back:
“I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
‘It is futile,’ I said,
‘You can never -‘
‘You lie,’ he cried, And ran on.”

                      “harsh yet benign” – a confusing reality?
The only answer I can give comes from sitting through that one, the only koan I am aware of facing on a daily basis.
