Automatism denies

Automatism

seems to deny the

dancing polarity

of life and death

which is to deny 

the unbearable 

and precious secret

that life and death

are not two~~



"While the soul really lives, its deepest dread is perhaps the dread of automatism. For automatism in life is a forestalling of the death process."

— D.H. Lawrence
