What are your moves?

What are the physical and spiritual moves of good conversation? What gestures of face and stomach and wayward feet steel your talking, steal your hearing?

Stopped and stared

In Nachmanovitch’s Free Play last evening I ran across the notion that the purpose of literature is not to prove nor sell but to invite thinking. I stopped running and stared. Yes! That is what I have been about in this book. To vex people into thinking. Together.

Thus, having written it is enough. It is play, and that is its purpose.

Is it to be lasting? What lasts? Nothing forever. What did the cave painters communicate? But they do speak to us. There is a thread.

Threads are pregnant. We are their children. Gestating.

Play with me. Think.

Not teaching:

We’re not teaching. We’re calling forth.

Useless sieve

Conversing, like play, is useless. Only after, we might sieve its use, that is when our conversing becomes an It.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2202–My Sisyphus activities

Footprints in the Windsm # 2202

This morning I described my place in life as being done with my Sisyphus activities—no longer pushing a new snowball uphill each morning. Ha! Sometimes it gets large quickly and becomes near impossible to get it to the top. Sometimes it melts before it starts, with same result: it doesn’t make it to the top!

That I play

I play that I play. I play there in converse that I play there.
