About Me

MY LANDS ARE WHERE MY DEAD LIE BURIED. -- Crazy Horse. me telling you about me, is like always tasting the present story of my life on the back of my breath, and then trying to explain that flavor, as if you could ever actually know it the same way. in this third dimension of sense, you couldn't. and i don't like that you will not fully understand -- that you will never completely comprehend me, as I really AM, in the moment, no matter how honest and raw i've been -- because it will move you to seek ways to challenge me, to benefit you. i will not tell you "about me." i don't want you questioning me regarding whether or not I AM who i say I AM. interprative representation will often lead to question, after question, after question -- but not necessarily validation. so i'm not going to offer you relative nouns and adjectives with which to scrutinize my entire presence. it is easier, on my nerves, to share memories or visions --to speak of life horizons i've journeyed through, or horizons i'm traveling toward -- than to define myself to / for you. maybe i could tell you who i tended to be, or who i see myself becoming; enough distance from such has the potential to locate me almost as close to it all, as you are. and maybe that could allow us both to feel more understood, more humon, and less alone.

'god' is balance in cyclic motion; that's why we seek 'equality,' 'order,' and 'change.' that's why we love music. that's why we praise 'art.' that's why we study mathematics. see the manifestation of this equation in your life, and you'll find what you're looking for. the Life in you will remember, it's already here.
