Tell me all of this, you Muses who have your homes on Olympus, from the beginning, tell who first of them (the gods) came-to-be. First of all Chaos came-to-be; but then afterwards Broad-breasted earth, a secure dwelling place forever for all (the immortals who hold the peaks of snowy Olympus, and misty Tartara in the [...]
When Nietzsche writes of ‘going under’ he does not refer to some sort of Buddhist extinction, sunyata. He refers to Zarathustra’s descent. From the coldest of heights Zarathustra, drawn by compassion, over-rich with pity, descends into mortality, the all too human. From beyond good and evil and nursed from the nausea of eternal recurrence of [...]
Re-reading Blanchot’s essay “From Dread to Language” and thinking of Kierkegaard’s concept of Dread there is a feeling I have of self-obsession. Dread is the ultimate solipsism.

HER EYES Two galactic black holes Space-time smear Whirling, Swirling Vortex Time, space melting into cosmic goo Dwelling, meaning, home – soul tossed asunder to cosmic wind Event horizon, going under Weight of absolute necessity – Desire Singularity Infinity Eternity – “Now man has become like one of us…” Inanimate animates Anima seduces Shards of [...]
Rene Descartes wrote of the unique idea of infinity. Infinity is a word that we know and use. Even more, today we would say that calculus is the math of infinities. Yet, according to Descartes, infinity is a notion that overflows itself. Of necessity, it is a word that must be what it isn’t. A [...]
Swirling, whirling, worlding snow Shimmering, soft white into half lit fog Walking up my mountain From home to peak How many lives have I made this journey? Now, frosted Aspen branches Delicate, curling intricately Telling their gnarly story silently Thriving, striving, intertwining Barely visible in blazing sun But now, icy frost gives them voice Burgeoning, [...]
Spring returns in your eyes. Youth springs eternal in your gaze. Your waters ever flow through my soul. Watering my spirit with your beauty (body). You see yourself anew in my eyes.
