Stray hunch, likely awry: Equipped with such formidable mortality whatever style I choose operates in me like a sky— it passes and changes and persists and I possess nothing but the sum of naming, curious and frantic. —Lisa Robertson, out of “After Trees” Lisa Robertson’s Magenta Soul Whip (20050
A shadow has no height, only a frightening breadth, yet it evokes a profound dread, like entropy. Dance needs only rising to create a miracle. Yet many are defeated by the entropy or shadows.

"by little more than ink & their own strength brushed momentarily over it" In fact, the ink records much information: whose residence, what plants, a gift for whom, weather, time. Momentarily, it makes these places historically traceable. Literati painting is too freehand; history must be present.
Because today’s a Philip Whalen anniversary (b. 20 October 2023)—thank you, Pat Nolan [ @xileinparadise.bsky.social ]—here’s a bittersweet paean to this world (and others) “held together now by little more than ink . . .”

Encaustic tiles and carpet,more toward square shapes. How does the square actually come on stage? Because there are no straight lines in nature—obviously no squares—so when squares suddenly appear in decorative art, isn't that astonishing?😄 "the four quarters" appears frequently in the Shijing诗经.

Continuing yesterday’s topic: the concrete manifestation of emptiness is negation and questioning—for example, in this line, “has no one seen”.
What a perfect way to turn the reader back to the world, the ending of Gary Snyder’s epic _Mountains and Rivers Without End_ (1996). Pure bounty in release, triggered by a kind of infinitesimal ending (“drawn to a point”), a collapse into plenty.
