Disappearing
as if the world’s all just you —
nothing else shining

Disappearing
like in the ocean a drop —
Lost in the vast blue

Disappearing —
you are sea, sky, and mountain,
melting in them all

Tinkering is a very important concept that I find myself explaining to people now and then. I thought It would be good to gather in a post, some of those quotes related to tinkering that have framed it for me.

Sensuous presence —
Moon becoming poetry,
And poetry moon

In soft moon poetry —
How much beauty is the moon,
How much is poetry

— rawjeev

“Only to the white man was nature a wilderness, and only to him it was ‘infested’ with ‘wild’ animals and ‘savage’ people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.”

— Luther Standing Bear (1868-1939)

“The sensing body is not a programmed machine but an active and open form, continually improvising its relation to things and the world. The body’s actions and engagements are never wholly determinate, since they must ceaselessly adjust themselves to a world and a terrain that is itself continually shifting.”

— David Abram, The Spell of the Sensuous.
