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

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

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

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
