The Blog of Innocence: The theater is self-contained
http://www.theblogofinnocence.com/2010/06/theater-is-self-contained.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. The theater is self-contained. And then self-enclosing, like an oyster shell. Pink ribbons and flesh-colored brilliance. Reflecting on the inner wall,. Sudden darkness once the shell. Has closed. The origin of the world. May never be found, locked in a mass. Of tangled ropes, swaying with the tides,. A prisoner of our dreams, a captive. Of our senses, how can I nurture this life? Where you feel the pulse racing. Through a tiny muscle in your neck,. My own poor imprint on the world.

The Blog of Innocence: We are attracted to the infinite
http://www.theblogofinnocence.com/2010/06/we-are-attracted-to-infinite.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. We are attracted to the infinite. For the moment it lasts. Something like the mathematics of miracles or continuous space. We sense it under every mundane awareness. We seize it once or twice. I imagine we're split into particles. Each a smaller copy of the whole. We undergo a transformation. With our sudden sprawling capacity. We define an infinite goal. We are not the size of our own height. But the size of what we see. And it may seem foolish to even talk about. Just like bamboo...

http://www.theblogofinnocence.com/2010/05/after-two-days-of-steady-rain.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. After two days of steady rain,. The sun came out. I noticed among the people a feeling of joy, renewal. The cook at the Garlic Press usually has a dour face, but today she was snapping her fingers- to the music. I turned around and couldn't believe it was the same person. Yes, the mundane is everything . . . I chased after a rabbit just to see how far I could run . . . it wasn't very far. I am still alone today, but it's not so lonely. Yes, you're right. I feel better. The wisdom...

Saturday, May 21, 2011. Escape Into Chris - Entry 22. Winter 2006 – Normal, IL. Last night at Borders I picked up a book by Osho. 8220;If you run after things, nothing will come to you. Let things run after you. The sea never sends an invitation to the rivers. That’s why they run to the sea. The sea is content. It doesn’t want anything. That’s the secret in life. Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness”. Escape Into Chris - Entry 22. Posted by Blog of Innocence. May 31, 2011 at 5:48 AM.
