Phew, possibly a time for diversion, keeping somewhat on topic of course.
Sculpting words is sculpture too.
Consider poems carved from poet tree.
Maybe it is time to relax, a little time away from rabbit holes, slippery slopes, and visions for humanity, Phew, lots to consider.
It may be a fine time for popcorn, cola and a little of that other “entertainment.” Be warned, be aware, there may be included, now and again an underlying subversive message.
The following written material was conceived…we could go places with that description…not today!…as this writer opened inadvertently to intuitive listening. The void filled quickly and appropriately. At the time there was not a specific conscious intention to write poetry. The poems more or less came along into awareness and so the words were written down rather than letting them flash by. This particular poem I highly suspect would have disappeared into oblivion if I had not put my foot on its tail and quickly grabbed it. The expression appeared as fast as It could be written, leaving little time to attempt to comprehend the extent of it. After the initial flood of poetic data, minor adjustments and additions were made to tidy up coherency, This intuitive material is constantly materializing through our “personal filters” that have had very little conscious training in the how-tos of awareness’ and attentions regarding the tapping into such availability of expression.
This poetry experience appears to be similar to the sculpting of the Transformation sculpture piece in that the sculptor observes and marvels as two sculpted forms come together seamlessly, with the whale sharing its head seamlessly with the otter. The sculptor had allowed the piece to be what it wanted to be and had released rigid control over the outcome of the design. Having released control, and having seen the results of such action, the invitation, the impulse, to transcribe the poetry expression was too, readily accepted as an opportunity to bring more artfulness to a life situation. The sculpting experience has more to inherently offer than merely presenting approaches to the physicality of a sculpting experience. Intuitive expression, expressed through metaphor, exposes possible directions one might consider in approaching life.
A conscious sculpting of life does tend to occur in fits and starts as personal shaping of awareness evolves. Deep appreciation for the insights of the sculpting experience has certainly been life altering and has made for me a personally fascinating journey.
