"Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the Moon than it is to penetrate one's own being." C. Jung
How dark would it have to be to fill in the dots of the constellations? Know the wisdom of their stories? Is it with silence or study that we tune into the music of the spheres? How much stillness does it take to stop the sirens? Shhhhhh. Find the pulse. shhhhhh I am breathing in. I am breathing-- shhhhhhitfuck. This is harder than it seems. Rage buzzes in my teeth - the closest it will come to my tongue. lalalalaaaaaalullaby. I want to sleep through the day and only wake up without trembling lip and welling tears that don't cost a dull heart. My dreams exhaust me but innerspace is no closer. I want to eat without stopping and skim the surface of every distraction. Not me. Not me. Not me. No mirrors, please. I am a pocket calculator, a Franklin planner, a tax payer, e-mail ridden, BMI, PIN, shit factory. Give me more time and I'd simply play computer solitaire and never be alone. For a space journey to penetrate my being, its secret must be inaccessible but the path accessible to me in a daily way. ~ "It must be unique, and it must exist geographically. The door to the invisible must be visible." Mt. Analogue, Rene Duamal I am breathing in. I am breathing out. I am breathing in. I am breathing out.

I'm picking up a signal, Captain. SG

Heading back to earth, I skipped off the atmosphere like a pond stone. - desire desire all life is suffering BREATHING... OXYGEN... OXYGEN... I AM HOT... (THIS) ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS?... I FEEL HOT!... I AM LISTENING!... I FEEL HOT!... desire the origin of suffering is attachment - Knowing I wasn't the first wisewoman engulfed, it seemed best to take advantage of the opportunity for travel. Blue Planet of my Dreams. I'm feeling less provincial now and frankly wouldn't trade my freedom for mass and energy. Like a wave and a particle, I am both and neither. Existing as electromagnetic energy leaves me most open and accessible to adventure and also to build trust. I can't be part of the universe through the window of a body; one's scale has to be adjusted to a more subtle form. I exist as a dance. I'll rely on quantum mechanics to translate photon ... I hope my journey will enlighten ;-) SG |
