Moving the Needle
Moving the Needle
If we imagine a scale:
on one end we are unfocused
and the other focused..
(subjective and objective
if you like..)
The needle seems pegged
on focus for many centuries
and may be stuck..
Focus has brought us much
but has..alas.. compressed our
peace and happiness..
We may now be entertaining
the possibility of moving
the needle toward unfocused..
Perhaps sliding the needle
all the way.. removing
all focus and form..
Moving the needle may
show us we can slide it
bringing new freedom..
Finally.. then to know
the needle is made
for sliding...!
