序文
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 withinv
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
