brochures, or nothing. It took time from writing to beg this attention. Didn’t seem worth
it—
“It was about 10 years ago I took writing classes & this didn’t work out either. I
showed up with a different set of ideas from others. I didn’t want my work treated like halfformed
clay, but my ideas to be confronted, & in turn to confront others their ideas. Three
months & I was out of that.
“I was already by then full of my own ideas, I’d do it myself, publish my own works
on my own dime, publish others’ works too. Subvert assumptions & pathways both.
“So I’ve long published all my work this way, in various forms, & found others to
support in this way too.
“An yet—ideas have pecked at me that there’s more, that I’ve not finished my path,
steps along, but there’s more.
“Much more. How do I meaningfully connect these various ideas?
Art/Nature/Psychedelia/Nature/Eros/Magick?
“So I nip again & again around this idea of manifestation. Being mortal, bodied, &
working with it more & more varied. Not believing mortal life is beginning or end, but
neither proclaiming what else. Disputing time as framework or guide, calling it tool & trying
to live this.
“Manifestation, bring what is within, out. Diving in deeper to return to surface with
more.
“Even more, dispute the legitimacy of within/without dichotomy. All is many, all is
one… not enough… one is one, many is many, all is all… work perspective loose of where it
limits, where it obscures.”
