Between Collision and Collection

Wherein we go over the line and break a stick...

Between Collision and Collection

All Ears

Our bodies have given away so much. Our self sufficiency is nothing like other earthlings. And for what? To be cold one minute, and warm the next? What sense is there in this? What other person does this? Where an "animal" is: a self-sufficient earthling, where do animals do this?

Look at eyelids. Eyes, vulnerable one moment, go away for a bit - blink. Some people blink when they read a word mistakable for its imperative ((((Did you blink) when you saw the word blink)? Did you note it?) Notice how I exclude more and more people each question.)

We don't see this exclusion in particular as moral failing, even as exclusion feels near-universally wrong. Exclusion that is grasped as "wrong" and Eexclusion that is released as "kink" share one Drop of Exclusions.

A long history of dropping things, animals have.

Be Near Sticks

Break a stick in half - put it back together. It's a "Drop of Stick." It has two hemispheres - one end (of the break) and the other end (of this break). "One" and "other" are classic, stuffy words; let me give "one" and "other" names more natural to me, so I can follow along.

How about "I" be the "other" and you be the "one," - this honors how you are only just now reading this. Everone else metabolizing this text has been living in some way with its words inside them since the relationship arrived as the light of this word and the water of your eye collide to create this moment you metabolize into sense.

My "side" and your "side" of our broken stick have dust-sized flakes between our ends. Let's map this dust out for a bit; this ...is cartography. Grab a stick (or imagine one, if you don't have a need to hold a stick in order to break it). Make dust.

Be In Public

Break it over something; use collision. The classic is to imagine your cells make up a tree in winter. Your arms are the lowest, heaviest branches of a tree. The tree is getting tired, very tired. Exhaling one last time, the branch slips away from Winter Tree. It falls on the nearest fascist public asset happening to be beneath.

Whether this looks to you like flailing a stick around or something else entirely, continue until the stick is in more pieces than it started; you're voting with your metabolism (practice your right to vote for what to break down in whatever way serves you), is there a healthier outlet spent in any other time?

Colliding with the object of collision's desire, stick breaks cleanly (if: messily at small-scale) in two Pieces.

Be the Tree

See all generosity you (metabolicly) receive as the Piece you remain with; the piece you lose (in the break) is all the generosity you (metabolicly) give away. For aim: let collision itself serve a larger purpose - communal generosity that envelops all needs no matter where the stick breaks. This way, the stick sides are transformed (metabolicly) from "generosity received" and "generosity given away" to become a sacrifice (a blessing).

In harmony, Individual needs are communal.

Shore : Isola. Forest : Meadow. Heat : Memory. War : Peace. Physics : Chemistry. All collision. Before any of our needs,come the needs of Stone and Water (where their needs are met is Materiality). The generosity of Stone and Water's bickering is what allows human generosity (as judge for stone and water's bickering) to exist; perhaps we call this language of communal generosity "Metabolish."

Mother Your Tongue

In energy conservation ("Metabolish"), what Stone and Water's needs resolve into are Laws (of nature) and Sequences (of events). These Laws of Physics and the Sequences of Chemistry collide to form Occurance finding Materiality its level in the present moment.

To study molecular laws is to ask Materiality about their boundaries. To write down those needs is to map them as shared needs across the context of Collision (gloves, check-ins...).
