The pondering reflective mind tends to fall and settle into holes where it quickly chokes on its own energy. A healthy mind roves and swarms over surfaces. In fact for a healthy mind there is only surface, endlessly convoluted and extensive. The first surface is my own body, and all other surfaces are extensions and reflexions of my body's surface. Even the inside of my body is surface – lung and gut – breathing interfaces – where I meet and confront the world beyond – also of surfaces. Yielding is the act of becoming one surface. Only then can I open essence to essence with what it is I touch.

which surface is sense of humour? :)
A sense of humor is the ability to make light of things - deny gravity, which is precisely what I try to describe here. Surface is weightless, and so, in this sense, a sense of humor is the willingness to rove over surface rather than settle into volume.
You have touched on one of my particular interests. I will try to send a photo of a piece of my work that relates to this.
