I realized the other day that I am going to become the kind of man that all my favorite poets hated.
Lao-tsu wouldn't have minded, though.
I HAVEN'T INTRODUCED MYSELF YET,
so let me take care of that, for any prying eyes.
I am LYRICISM- the expression the self in artistry. As well, this makes me EGO- I.
It's not so much a dualism as it is a chain reaction. I am SHADOW, and I am ANIMA. But mostly, I am. The state of being physical is awkward to me, I am not so well connected to it- though neither am I well connected to anything else. It is hard to say that I would forsake my physical being, had I the chance, for I delight in the wonder I am allowed to experience. Further more, to argue that I am but a physical being is incorrect:
I very much have the ability to connect to the unconcsious, the transcendental, the alchemical, if only by accident, or beyond the wall of sleep. I am not a simple automaton, I have soul. My language has words like "love," and "wonder," and "feel," and so I am able to experience and indulge in such things for as long as I can.
So, I will.
But, it cannot be avoided, samsara, samsara, that all life will be suffering, and for my wonder and love and feelings, I must pay.
"FOR what can be corporeal which does not cast a shadow?" Mused Carl Jung, in his Librus Novus. He spake that Earth herself cast a shadow, for she is the most corporeal and physical of all. Wonder, love, feelings- all are corporeal ideals, and thus cast among the longest shadows, nearly longer than the things themselves.
The shadow of anything can lead to the shadow of anything else- it seems, in my language, that all of the shadow words are connected in some way. They are knit together into a long plane, which never ends until you leave.
raise your hand
if you've been there
it's not so hard a place
