processing process / a circular experience

Current mood: contemplative

more (quest)ioning!

so a sista friend asked me about my writing process and i invited her to lunch (you know talking about process takes time). in my ever present quest to develop a workable applicable (to everything and specifc things in my world) poetics (in which to enrich myself and the beings around me)

i think alot about the manipulation of words, sounds, spirit, images, and bodies. here is what we came up with.


processing process/ a work in progress/ a collaboration between/among the universe (especially kriti and i)


process is was use to be tangible etheral consistent full of light and absence

process will not accept a bottle or magnitude

process must (not) be or always is touch

process is (or isn't) always lack of urgency

process is presence yet anticipating reincarnation everyday

process is fullness wholeness holistic

process is looking for or waiting with language

process is the struggle for aunthenticity

process is living

process is a medium

process is patience

process is energy

and emerging

and making language

and creating

and telepathy

process is how

peace and pieces of peace slivers and wholes and splayed light

love,
e
