In reply to: Paul 's message, "Re: creative exhaustion" on 18:54:43 03/21/01 Wed
 I just have to let you know how hard I laughed as I read the last two paragraphs of your message Paul. I'm glad I'm in a rocker so I could swing with the impact.

Your language sinks deep into my bones. I love how you roll your words, like bocce balls or something. When I read your letters on Ted's website, something in me opened up: your vernacular contains all sorts of clues about how to ride in the car of Being with native enjoyment.

Just had to say that.

What comes up for me now is this: it seems that my prior confusion (and judgement towards) my ever encroaching exhaustion has a lot to do with the fact that it is happening in apparent contrast to the heat of Being that is, after all, the rotting agent behind all of this ripening fruit and lazy baby bearing....

I mean, it is inherently confusing to be rotting in relation to the enlivening heat of Being, and hence my negative judgement about feeling exhausted: because as my heart starts to swell and fatten with the lusty power of this stuff, I find my legs crumbling beneath me (or, as was the case day before yesterday, I found myself down-shifting to the lowest gear on my bike to go up a rather soft incline). My mind says, "Oh c'mon Fiset - get a move on already why don't ya?" But my body is this bandaged convalescent veteran smoking a Lucky Strike through my facial bandages, saying back to my mind, "Yeah right, whatever...."

So I suppose that there is this paradoxical quality to rotting where as the heart tanks up, the body goes to hell.

....rrrrrrrrrrrrp.
