Land Here (exercise #1)

Remember that you are still standing.
Stop standing. Land here.
And don't move a thing.
Just wait.
Think about where you've landed.
What part of yourself has?
This is your land.
So wait, breathe, and repeat.

While standing bend your knees.
Hold your fists to your chest, and then
Throw your self into the air.
Fly a little while
So that when you reach the ground
You'll land
Near where you began.

When the leaves are moving again
And your mind completes its spin
Then you've really done something
And there may be more to do.
So stand and ask yourself:
What else is worth doing?

If you know, be happy;
The challenge is landing,
From this, will come the way.

Free for thinking

Friday, October 20st, 2006

This evening, on Jack Brickhouse Way, I met two neighborhood kids, about 8 and 9, on bicycles. One of them asked me the meaning of life. I told him that there wasn’t enough letters in the alphabet to explain. "Some say that the meaning of life is togetherness. Because each of us are burdened to live as we are, in these feet, in these hands. We want to be free of the prison of the self. We look for others to fill our voids, and as we do this we discover love. The... read more

The Journals of a Free Public Advisor

Tuesday, October 17th 2006

I love my job. For real, I give free advice on a streetcorner in the gold coast. I keep my own hours, I come and go as I please, and to do so I keep my operation very simple. I sit on an upturned wooden drawer, and set around myself a series of simple cardboard signs that are each weighted down with harback books.

The first sign reads: “Free Public Advisor”
The next reads: “Free Counsel, Ask Anything!”
And the last: “Free Advice”

I want people to get the ... read more

Cinema

If I could see the movie one more time, I'd see it backwards, watching the beginning as the end and the end as the beginning. Through the aftermath I'd grieve less for my hero's losses and see instead the crisis he was built for.

Death is a birth in reverse, and so it is best to scan for the beginning.

Of the "body:"

How speak past the body that stands in that window of the screen? Window through window I discover a body, and a colon, a body without a body (except 4 the :).

Stepping through the congress of discourse, ascending the particulars of the party, the place, the body, and anybody...

Words become shadows. The shaping features of the body of the letter are framed by infinite wndows. The frame, the window, will catalog the volume of the actual and set it on an angle, abstraced. Depth then bec... read more
