my lookout.


when you start very near, with the nearest, which is you,
then the whole world is open, for you are the world,
and the world beyond you is only nature.
nature is not imaginary, it is actual, 
and what is happening to you now is actual.
from the actual you must begin-
with what is happening now.




-krishnamurti 


*i was thinking blank, especially after that harrowing marathon book the last day and a half. i think, wow, i am truly blank as frank. and i grab a bough and i might get a crab-apple, might be worm, or handful of leaves.  but that's what i like, discomfiting as it can be. that memoir of violence was that way, starting out every day, the dailiness, after cataclysm, day to day.
