stones and stars sing subtly but persistantly

The oldest remains of peoples actions are the deposits from the manufacturing of stone tools.


Early settlements are often determined by what they left behind, signs of habitation, fire pit, butchered bones.

People developed special ways and places to make a resting place or home for honoring and visiting
peoples bones.

The spaces that remain,
 of a time generations removed from the language we understand,
 were orienting their subterranean construction,
 by watching the sky.
The same sky, the same land exist before there are eyes that have grown to see it.
The same sky, the same land witness our life effort as part of our being.
We share Time together.
They will always be around.

repeating myself




Inside – outer wear- there

Resting places, returning points, occupational standards for life forms in three dimensional spaces?

Or anatomical features of a living system that we inhabit?
 In the Habit of inhabiting
Are all observable objects and phenomenon not accurately described in whole,
 if we consider them  as being encapsulated by the perceptive field of the beholder?
More than meets the eye.
always
The Eye that meets the More.
Not just the habit of looking, but what and  how you look,
as well as how you think you look to others while looking at things,
and your awareness of that aspect in a social cultural context can alter and affect what can be seen in a object or subject.
Experience is more than the sum of time and space and sensory stimulation.
It is the shared awareness of the responder from within.
This involves context the third person unseen, environmental influencers, feelings associations
Understandings, unconscious habitual patterns that can be confused and characterized as part of the body that is self identity ego unique person hood and recognizable spirit  

Discovery is not the same as finding what you are looking for.
Things are not appreciated honored or respected when they are expected to appear or behave as you wish them to.
The natural world as quantified and qualified in description and relationship is real .

Light clear understood safe / dark  possible  wonder dream
( not all that is real )magic realities exist,unexplained uncanny unknown persist.

Science is real, science is physical projection of thought and mind into theory into places we cannot directly access, except through imagination , a process of testing novelty against standards.
A Life Spirit of it's own,as practiced by people, as a discipline and focus for work, the crafting of attention and caring.
 looks like a religion to me, certainly a temple of veneration.learning, what an idea!spirits of invention.

A Love of the describers of the described? A passion for description. Resonating with a sense of truth beyond one’s own observations, an externalized decision  judgment facility – displaced spirit seat of the beholder
The explained rational comforting truth and trust spirit antenna is traditionally oriented to the sun and the day productivity work industry agriculture manufacturing, trade commerce accomplishment achievement agenda awareness with its collective concerns for contracts , promises prayers reciprocal symbol gift exchange and the special nature of the deal. the encouragement  of belief or faith in system order or class of animal vegetable or mineral its worth determined by its use, subject to weight and measurement contents labeled and prepared for distribution and eventual consumption. 

Material world belief is based around what humans can make from spirit less or useless material.
The technological is the super natural made reality, so is ART.
not easily understood by its appearance but what it can do.
Human expression
the sacred  tool and what comes out through it, 
The Habits and ways of coming into being,
where out comes, are unseen.
Magic in  work.
surprise inside.
sunrise outside.
Spirit World
no experience necessary
apply within

I asked as an afterthought


I asked as an afterthought, as she was packing up to leave.
“Do you still have the bag, that you brought His ashes here, with you now? “
Taking her down the weird basement stairs,
 Narrow awkward individual brightly colored steps,
The wooden treads paint wearing away in the center.
 Careful to tell her,
“Don’t trust the hand rail! It’s loose at one end.”
Passing by the dusty old marimba, the drum kit and stray cat poo,
My personal private magic work place, Lies just ahead and below.
A mass of objects and offerings,
A heap of devotional stuff piled up in the corner,
Composed and arranged, aligned and configured.
Tools and traps, bottles and boxes, vessels and containers, not presented for ordinary display.
Erratic particulars reassembled tangled transposed trophies of my temple of one.
Layered activity, legacy of deposit, idols that are not idle.
Many shelters within shelters, homes within homes, worlds within worlds.
The place of my monthly mound journeys of late, and the special healing prayers that pop up.
He never posted to the private list about his personal experience, but he contacted me personally about what I had shared, and how I was sharing on the private list.
I greatly appreciated what he had to say to me, it encouraged my sense and sensitivity of sacred sharing.
The substance and subject embodied in ceramic caricature,
Crystal spheres, copper wired in the sockets of my oracular head of the ancient wise.
She had come up for the equinox this year, his memorial was last.
She had left bits of his ash in a few of my sacred spots developed on the land,
Now I hoped she would rub the bag on the top of the head, pointing out the inter locking circles of Isaac’s magic, doing my best to explain the additional patina and luster this offering- this action brings into being.

foundation under foot

We too,
have unseen roots.

Moving and growing beneath the light of the surface .
Drawing up from the dark wet deep of what has been.
Reaching out for support and sustenance from surroundings,
A base of our keeping, harvests of seasons passed.
A place for deposit, to hold us firm to a solid world.
Somewhere between appetite and memory, to absorb and retrieve.

connected containment controlled carefully crafting

Entangled  networks of structures,pathways of interaction.
Sensitivity awareness extending beyond body,
That from which we determine how we feel,
Before the impact of our actions,below the concepts and cause,
It is not an obvious straight line that attaches center to earth.
A meandering forking of the fiber of ones being fixing itself
In
Place.

the answer is somewhere around you



quest of the questioner.
the perceived pathways and road side patterns from the perspective of a passenger.
time travelling retrospect , recognizable regional dialect
articulate a response in the language that is best digested for the passer by
fast food ........ motion sickness
sense of direction, sense of connection
part of the scene
for the time
being
?
looking for a sign

committee confidential

Closeness that it so close,  as to be unrecognized,

coupling openly taking place.


Place giving union to individualization ,

connections and conceptions, clarity and camouflage.
