about

introduction

imagine those stones in your hand - imagine them as seeds of the extraordinary plant

each tumbled out of the many to arrive at the one - the one that tumbled out of the many

hurdled along a long and winding procedure of hands and of rivers - the mineral bifurcation

the stone/seed - remembers its place - compacted, hidden in an embedded life - deep within a lightless mass

pressures unimaginable, a darkness complete - necessary to the mineral process and other germination forms

discovered within its surfaces - awaiting - revealing - depthless - created by the circumlocutory extraction

trace pleats - mapping the unfolded, undulated internals - patterned surfaces concealed in the structure lost

to the outermost - guessed at when the masses are broken - discontinuous by impacts or the inevitable erosion and decay

dependent upon circumstance - each fragment revealed by a sinuous ritual of separation - each phase entering into the next

entwined and intermixed - human perspective entertained by ruthless mechanisms of scrutiny - naming to fuse that which has never been broken

the other nature - of beauty - stratification is penetrated - outspread temporal blankets of things - removed only to be laid back down again

we treasure our morsels and in doing so freely fracture the world - endlessly into further and further particles of isolated matter - the digestive track of the earth

a vibrant activity of decay and change - iridescent isolated particulation - swelling in seasonal breaths - inhale and exhale each fragment becoming whole across an infinite surface

shattering resonance into various forms - all dancing upon the surface of time - resonance shattered - increase of range - the activity remains fixed to change - more or less substantial

eventually crossing our plane of vision which again returns to the centering point - our concentration isolated once again - the enfolded moment - imagine those stones

in your hand as seeds of the extraordinary plant - each tumbled out of the many to arrive at the one - hurdled along a long and winding procedure of hands and of rivers - a mental bifurcation

the soul/seed - remembers its place - compacted, hidden in an embedded life - deep within a light-less mass - centers unimaginable, a brightness complete

necessary of the mineral process and other germination forms - to be discovered within the surfaces - awaited - revealing - depthless - created by the circumlocutory experience

trace pleats - mapping the unfolding, undulated externals - patterned substances conceal outermost structures - lost within

when the masses are broken - continuity of impacts or the inevitable order of erosion and decay - independent upon circumstance

each fragment revealed by a clear ritual of observation - each phase entering into itself - aware - intertwined and intermixed

human perspective is entertained by ruthless mechanisms of scrutiny - naming to fuse that which has never been broken - the selfsame nature

of beauty - stratification is preserved - outspread temporal blankets of things - removed only to be laid back down again and again and again

devalued are our morsels and in doing so we freely fracture the world - endlessly into further and further particles of interdependent energy - the nervous system of the earth

a vibrant activity of growth - iridescent unified articulation - swelling in seasonal breaths - exhale and inhale each fragment becoming whole throughout the infinite substance

building resonance into unified forms - all dancing within the body of time - resonance built - decrease of range - the activity remains open - more or less insubstantial

eventually crossing our plane of vision which again returns to the centering point - our concentration isolated once again - the enfolded moment - imagine those stones
