Still Life

STILL LIFE

Life – a gathering of things
Life – with warmth of movement
            consciousness of being
           sound      color      touch
                  aroma       sight

                        for fun
I tap my collective unconscious
                          and
Nospace is filled with pebbles, pennies, nickels
             dimes      hammers      chisels
                       hard stuffs

They all come clattering down on my kitchen 
                                                                     table
                          and
          wanting to come together
          take on a life of their own

                
                   Dave Austin

M. L. Kiser July 28, 2016 at 3:18 PM Beautifully mystical in depth; I enjoyed it.

Sara Kendrick July 27, 2016 at 10:48 AM This one is very mysterious in nature..I enjoyed reading it..I am left with questions as to what came down on the table..Thanks for dropping by..Sara Daver Austin July 28, 2016 at 1:40 PM Thanks for the visit, Sara. This is about the collective unconscious - what one visits after chanting a mantra for a spell. The hard stuff is what is on the table, given still life through meditation. Love, daver

Michelle Mac Donald July 26, 2016 at 12:29 PM Sounds Mad Hatter-ish to me, Daver! Love the notion of this 'nospace' collection.;) The miscellaneous concretes; groups or separations of actual things or instances? Maybe some as imponderable as was Pinocchio to the whale. Had it imagined he was a wooden toothpick? I believe that what you will create will have more more wisdom and make more sense. Hugs & love to you! Mikki Daver Austin July 27, 2016 at 9:26 AM Thanks, dear buddy. I love your imaginative responses. That is exactly what I am about - expansion of consciousness. Hard to do it with words, but you manage at times. Love, daver
