Part of its charm for me is in realizing that it is a snapshot, a 2D slice of the body of #rhizo14. In a way it is the smoke from the fire and the wake from the ship, not the fire and not the ship. I am only vaguely aware of the 4D presence that is the growing tip and the blooming buzzing perfusion that is the felt whole of #rhizo14. <br /> <br />Paradox. A finitude (#rhizo14) creates an infinitude (something greater than #rhizo14) that is only partly glimpsed in Hawksey's visualization. I am reminded of the story here: <br /><br />The nun Wu Jincang asked the Sixth Patriach Huineng, "I have studied the Mahaparinirvana sutra for many years, yet there are many areas i do not quite understand. Please enlighten me." The patriach responded, "I am illiterate. Please read out the characters to me and perhaps I will be able to explain the meaning." Said the nun, "You cannot even recognize the characters. How are you able then to understand the meaning?" "Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?" <br /> http://www.myrkothum.com/the-meaning-of-the-finger-pointing-to-the-moon/ comment by Terry Elliott<br /> <br />"Chaos is a lure for gaze but hard to digest." Chaos is too big to eat. I say swim in it like a fish, breath it, do the full catastrophe in it. Grow in it now and beyond.<br /><br />"God we need fun, what more is there? God we need poetry, when they only give us time for prose."<br /> <br />I am so glad that you get this. I wrote a post recently that was a short video of a glass of water overflowing in my sink. I put it on YouTube and then shared it via Vialogues so that others could just play with it. Jenny M commented that she didn't get it. There wasn't really anything to get, but it was kind of her to play along. We are homo ludens. <br /><br />"#Rhizo14 is carnival."<br /> <br />I love the idea of Carnivale. I think we can view the visualization as part of carnivale and your post as part of it. It doesn't really end if we continue to act with the idea of it in our heart. Carnivale is an irruption of life. Your post is an irruption, conscious and alive and aware. There is a larger Carnivale.<br /><br />"We are not all maggots." Yet in the end we are all food for the maggots. In the end our words and ideas and memes are the wakes from our ships. So be it. Let the maggots dance! Let us celebrate our wakes.telliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205908556621412864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194534881328954061.post-4856690123260703492014-02-01T06:02:18.901-08:002014-02-01T06:02:18.901-08:00(grinds teeth as reposts on desktop machine commen...(grinds teeth as reposts on desktop machine comment already lost on phone)<br />Lovely post - so lyrical and expressive. It chimed with me because of my current 'puzzle' that I will be expressing later in a far more prosaic fashion.<br />Anyway , one thought, the Great Ant of Facebook beguiles us with with its smoothness and lets us have fun, meanwhile concealing the constraints it imposes on us in pursuit of its real goal, our creativity in return for its economic benefit - but more of that laterFrances Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714859082584727022noreply@blogger.com
