no finality of vision

.

Maren Hassinger, Whirling. Wire and wire rope


I went for a walk over the dunes again this morning
to the sea, ... the walk liberating, I was released from forms,

from the perpendiculars, straight lines,
blocks, boxes, binds of thought
into the hues, shadings, rises, flowing bends and blends

          of sight: ...

Maren Hassinger, Walking

I have reached no conclusions, have erected no boundaries,
shutting out and shutting in, separating inside
      from outside: I have

       drawn no lines: as manifold events of sand
change the dune's shape that will not be the same shape
tomorrow,

 
Maren Hassinger, Wrenching News. New York Times shredded twisted.

so I am willing to go along, to accept
the becoming thought, to stake off no beginnings or ends
establish  no walls: ...

risk is full: every living thing in
siege: the demand is life, to keep life: ...

Maren Hassinger, Remembering preserved rose leaves, cot, pillow


I will try
     to fasten into order enlarging grasps of disorder,
widening
                scope, but enjoying the freedom that
Scope eludes my grasp, that there is no finality of vision,



Maren Hassinger


that I have perceived nothing completely,
that tomorrow a new walk is a new walk.
- A.R.Ammons, from "Corson's Inlet"

The shutter button on my camera broke in Florida last October. I choose to not send it out for repair right away, to stop myself shooting images and use that time for other focusing.  That 6 month period has been like a skip of stones, skimming hop hop hop-ripple ripple across placid water. Time of no-time. Good time. Life time.

                 Hope you are all well.

Peace!

"We often ask, What's Wrong? Doing so, we invite painful seeds of sorrow to come up and manifest. We feel suffering, anger, and depression, and produce more such seeds. We would be much happier if we tried to stay in touch with the healthy, joyful seeds inside us and around us. We should learn to ask, What's not wrong? and be in touch with that."  Thich Naht Hanh

It is a beautiful day, sweet cut grass in the air, birdsong, and thoughts of "you" and the shared brilliance, the peace on earth already planted within us--each to each.

1762 an etymology= :idea: mental outlook over time

.
 


a small sense/view of perspective-- 

Perspective (etymology) : late 14c., "science of optics," from O.Fr. perspective, from M.L. perspectiva ars "science of optics," from fem. of perspectivus "of sight, optical" from L. perspectus, pp. of perspicere "inspect, look through," from per- "through" + specere "look at" (see scope (1)). Sense of "art of drawing objects so as to give appearance of distance or depth" is first found 1590s, influenced by It. prospettiva, an artists' term. The figurative meaning "mental outlook over time" is first recorded 1762..

Somehow we have to keep dreaming about a word, to keep it living now.

In the 14th century, this word given as "the science of optics" and think now, in 2010 "what did they know about optics or science or perspective for that matter then; compared to what we know now?

Think-- of What we don't know now.
What small sense of "perspective" will we leave (or not) for the future's eyes.

in case u didn't hear, an 18th Century ship hull found at World Trade Center
.
"A 1797 map shows that the excavation site is close to where Lindsey’s Wharf and Lake’s Wharf once projected into the Hudson. So, no matter how many mysteries now surround the vessel, it may turn out that the ghost even has a name."
.
can u just imagine the history of standing in one place, of what lay buried beneath your feet, layer by layer down and under what we normally think of as surface, or see?  Right now, what are you standing on?

Just "you" alone are deep and amazing. Full of coded memory.
Well we are all probably deeper and older in the heart and psyche than our wildest imaginings while looking up at the clear night of millions of mult-ilayered twinklings of star after stars ...  are you looking up, you are getting deeper and deeper.  Ahh.
