Shortbus came out on DVD today, but the sole copy at Edge Video was out...
Life continues to be baffling and time is shortened and compressed, taking a good long while to get through but not uncomfortable; rather like a heavy cream. I am watching The Illusionist and the manipulation of time is mentioned and demonstrated. The Illusionist is able to drop an orange slowly, and then plant an orange seed and have it grow into a small tree in a few minutes. What does the viscosity of time mean for humans... how does it pertain to our destiny? For enlightenment must be a kind of manipulation of time.
It is so new to me, this idea of the worldview free from the impetus for approval. I still write thinking of the reader and zir response, not because I believe that is the best thing for me to have in mind, but as a default mode of understanding and operation...one I would desperately like to leave permanently in the dust.
My newest focus and plan is to follow the Four Agreements, and to look into another area which I will not mention here, as it is most personal.
