empathy pours forth like ceaseless precipitation
it is nature at work - eons to evolve
a prefrontal cortex that mandates the whole
greater than the i(n)d.
benefactress, community, inspiration, dare i say love
human art of suffering - what makes us watch?
the great artists watch, maws agape
the fulfillment of suffering is what we all yearn
yet are unwilling to tolerate ourselves.
because the present is so much more. more as in impactful.
moored in now is the most difficult place to be.
we prefer the peripatetic future with its uncertain and unknowing possibilities
or the mirror of the past, rose hued by malfunctioning neurons.
It is difficult to write prose. It is also difficult to write _good_ poetry. But because the form of poetry comes so easily, in pithy, disconnected bursts, it is welcoming in the way a warm foyer or antechamber welcomes you in from hours in a Midwestern cold. Mentally safe, comforting, the brain making decisions about your viability and safety. Contrasted with neuropathic pins and needles differentiating your conditions. The body abhors a derivative.
Interesting things to think about:
apparently upon Sinclair wrote about the fictional therapeutic use of bacteriophages in the 1920s.
volunteering concept that neil and I were discussing:
leveraging etsy in terms of people making stuff for other people
how to individualize value sets. removing the squishing of language (gilbert, stumbling onto happiness) -
