True connexion is both democratic and liberating. It has nothing to do with control – neither obeys the other, but both serve the connexion.

That stubborn refusal to let go.

The key is not the material, but the action, the belief, the commitment.

Art Lange on Cecil Taylor

Transformation means I change shape

Root out tension

still I felt no fear . . . my wonder seeking happiness had no room for it

John Clare

The greatest impediment to progress – to stepping forward into the vast unknown – is defensive thought. And all thought is defensive (backward) in that it interprets new experience according to patterns set up by past experience. This is why when we experience something completely different – out of the mould – it stops the mind, at least for a time. Our spiritual work is to rid ourselves of these old patterns so that every experience is fully experienced as it is, as it happens, and as it continues to resonate within us – new, exciting and unique.

a beautiful and awful vulnerability

consolidate the formal
codify an ensemble
expose the frivolity
nurture a mind

One achieves simplicity despite one's self by entering into the real sense of things.

Constantin Brancusi

To join I must remember.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Buddha

It was just his own innate goodness that guided others.

There's more than meets the eye.

Language is like a map: we spread the map of the world before us and we smugly pretend to know its experience.

John Cage

I am a society.
