as aggresive as hurricane katrina

Weird...
More and more I look at the mirror and realize that the man I look at is not me!

Was looking at birds, bugs and spider webs today.
I used to think it all had a purpose.
Today I changed the word "purpose" to "expression".
It hit me hard!

yeah
i remember getting that feeling
its kind of fucked
a lot of times i see skin hanging on a skeleton
sometimes i have a hard time not laughing at the mirror
some weird kind of detachment

the i ching is the only true document in existence
other than maybe a blank piece of paper
or a full motion picture of the entire universe
the i ching admits that nothing makes sense
and it does not make an attempt to make sense of anything
because doing so would not make sense
the i ching even refers to itself
and it does not claim to be anything
except a piece of nature
like a stick
or an asteroid
or a key on the keypad
i hear music when i type
insects carve the i ching on to the bones of dead people
on the inner wall of eggs laid by birds - you find the i ching
at the bottom of the sea octopus arrange tentacles in i ching-like formations
every book ever written which attempts to explain 'the truth' are interpretations of the i ching to various degrees of success
(including this post)
confucius' interpretations of the i ching which often come with the i ching when you buy it are not part of the i ching

We learn how to make better things.
The ancients learned how to make better people.

our tools for progress
are also our tools for self-destruction
sustainability comes with no effort

lemme alter that
most of our tools for progress also result in self destruction when used
sustainability requires no effort from you
but
it still requires action
in blunt terms:
in order to progress
you have to destroy most of yourself
but
when you get there
it wont take much effort
(heaven)
that is a promise
just watch

explosions suggest an ending
but
they merely provide materials for everything that is around in the aftermath

explosions reduce reactant forces to their most basic elements
Is it the beginning of the end?
Or the end of what is beginning?
shining light with what we write and how we act
