I am willing to be ignorant,
to embrace ignorance
as an activity not a fact.

No one instructed me in this.
I was taught to take action,
apply what I know and not wait.

Learning not knowing has
been, is slow, is the reception
of new matter, of transmission
from elsewhere, sitting in
the train, watching the
landscape move.

Not being ignorant for a while
until I know, but continually
unknowing even while actions
are carried out, having an
awareness, a recognised stream
of emptiness flowing always
alongside my Socratian self.

========

========

No wonder we know for
sure that the word comes
from god, or the great tree,

or some thing or being
beyond and behind
or above the word

so powerful that when
we hear it we partake
of its divinity.

No wonder we know
that all words are creations
and being written or spoken

are recreations,
and being seen or said
again, fall further from

their origin; that
the word is only visible
for an instant

it evaporates cannot be kept,
nor resorted to,
cannot be offered as proof

or dangled as enticement;
beautiful words flash from our
mouths as bubbles

from fish,
as seeds in the wind
already in decay

before they convey birth,
everyone knows to ignore
the contamination of interpreters.

========

When something issues forth
from the void, from no visible
or understandable source

we know it is sacred
and immortal, because
having no beginning

it can have no end,
we can easily agree
to this, listening when

we speak or read,
hearing only so far back
before words vaporize.

We hear them issue forth
not seeing or knowing
an end for any let loose

to dance away from us.

========

The idea or remembrance of something
outside, beyond, not cosmically
significant, not requiring years of
yoga, or fasting, the ontological
recall of something else
of elseness, of elsnessness,
the emptiness into which
such remembrance can come,
undefined, without specific aim,
the idea or remembrance,
the listening, I forget now
what it was I wanted,
or wanted to forget.

CADDY! (Wer am Wochenende nicht mitspielt, ist nicht mehr mein Freund und bekommt hier eine Woche lang Leseverbot. Ist nicht bös gemeint, aber manchmal muß man die Leute eben zu ihrem Glück zwingen..)

Man reiche mir sofort ein 00er Links Extreme oder, hmm, doch lieber ein 06er Tiger Woods – Nein! 08er Golfquestionmark muß es schon sein.

Bis dahin kann man sich noch mit der Fortsetzung von Shift beschäftigen (mit Achievements und noch mehr doofen Witzen auf Kosten des Spielers).

Oder man erweitert einfach sein Bewußtsein, so wie die Entwickler von “The Great Tree”, dem Spiel, in dem man als Elfe mit upgardebaren Schmetterlingsflügeln immer wieder und wieder pinke Pollen einsammelt, nicht von Insekten umgeflogen wird, Pollen abliefert und wieder von Neuem beginnt..

Fly into a magical world of mystery and adventure, told through beautiful illustration and mesmerizing gameplay. When the Pollen Collectors for the Great Tree become bewitched, the survival of the faeries is in your hands. Fly forth to save this magical realm by collecting pollen, using power-ups and skillfully dodging enemies in this grown-up tale of good and evil.

Save your people, the Swee and The Great Tree.

The back story: You must collect pollen and save the Great Tree, the Pixies and the Swee from the evil Ixies. Sounds simple but trust me the story is more compelling when I’m not telling it. You accomplish this by carefully collecting the pollen from the flowers and saving as many enchanted Swee as you can while avoiding the dangers of the forest. All the while the Ixies are waiting for their chance. This is an action game at its core but you’ll be sucked in by the story. An unlike so many game this is one in which you will want to watch the opening very carefully so you can get in the mood for the upcoming visual feast. The music which important to me is spot on. Theycouldn’t havedone a better job of getting me in the mood and staying out of my way. I don’t music distracts from the experience and they have certainly got it right. This game is visually gorgeous and deep. Give it a >>GO<< The 25% off code is screwup .
