Gino. Beautifully stated. Too often, thought is associated with care. The magical equation seems to be: the more we think about something, the closer we come to understanding. Our everyday experiences should remind us that this is not always the case. In fact, in too many instances, there is an inverse relationship between thought and care: the more we think about something, the more we remove ourselves from that which creates frustration or angst. Thus, our thought becomes disconnected, abstracted and removed–thus, creating a conversation about ourselves rather than the “thing” itself.

zachary…

thank you for your comments… appreciate the dialogue…

yes… you touch on the connection between symbol obsession and disembodiment…

as you know from previous conversations… much is lost in the body when the mouth chats… much is lost in the soul when symbols stir… but all is gained when the body stirs in stillness..

for the wild,
gino
