Ongoing Process

We get hung up on our dualities.  We want something to be either this or that.  But what about this and that?  Or neither this nor that?  What about what is bigger than categories?  What about what Is?

Is holds union and division.  Is was neither ecstasy nor agony.  Is will be only death and only birth.  Is could have been either destruction or creation.  Is was never related to linear or cyclical.  Is needs to be explicitly literal and never metaphorical, except it doesn’t.  Is encompasses both freedom and fate.  Is used to be both personal or universal.  Is resembles material nor ethereal.  Is is and is isn’t.

I am interested in our dualities but I am also interested in Is.

The map requires the territory.  The medium loves the message.

In the last three days, I have finally gotten rid of two old vehicles: my old car and my old bike.  I drove the car for 10 years and 125,000 miles.  It was donated to Good News Garage.  I had the bike for 4 years and probably 50 miles (it hurt my back, so I hardly ever rode it).  It was sent to the annual bike swap at Skirack.

The car needed to go about five months ago.  The bike needed to go about three years ago.

A vehicle is a device which is used to propel oneself towards one’s destination.  These vehicles no longer carried me, but I kept them around anyway.  It was easier, somehow.

Now they are gone and there is space where they used to be.
