Between Things and Colors2

The destruction of the cell in the dialectic of negativity Shooting arrows of light towards the body of the self Solar processes and nuclear fusion Sustainable Amazonian Euterpe precatoria trees Color in the Persuasion of Sensibility Structure of the ceiling of the Riverpool Cathedral The moon illuminates the athletic park at midnight The calm sea is silent, waiting to emerge Morning, the fruit of life is put to the mixer Ruts in the highway of a family on an outing Lunch in the Garden of Eden just off the interchange Vergilius sips coconut banana drink grown in the dark Plants go from earth to heaven to seed again Theory Yajnyavalkya receives a reward for preaching to the Great King In the classroom, Moosa dozes off with his cane From the darkness of non-REM sleep to the creation of dreams Matter and Time in the Press The body expands in the pool and returns to the fetus Genghis Khan holding an imported apple at the port Bodhidharma Zen in the city of Christchurch Seth and Maggie reunite on the eve of New Year's Eve Grains of sand on Sula's sandals after walking on the Gestalt beach Rain falls on the Church of San Francisco in the city of Quito in April In the midst of it, Isaac faces the altar in silence Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara asks a child what he had for breakfast Walking around the Borobudur temple ruins to the right And take a picture of the face tilted to the left Your fingernails are jade in a jewelry department case you return home and change from your theater clothes into loungewear Dante singing paidon in the fields from the city to the church in the desert in a horse-drawn carriage Crossing the ant-hill pedestrian crossing by the building eating Taiwanese rice noodles in a restaurant in the Pleiades cluster Listening to Bach's Prelude in the Main Tower Going from deluded to enlightened Thinking about tomorrow's events in the back seat of a car The Natural World Possessing Mythic Attributes A vegetarian meal at a Chinese restaurant in Singapore And the skeleton of the living world becomes the plate we finish eating The pleasure of listening to ancient music in the morning Memories of the past fall into the sunset at Cable Beach Whales reach the deep sea E-mails from abroad arrive at the office Family and the relationship of faces in public places Picnicking and eating sandwiches on a sunny plateau An old man turns into a child and does sit-ups on stage Seneca plows the soil with a spoon God creates the world with words
