#Naked in #nature, the #body feels endlessly #awake. The slightest movement of air slips across skin like flowing water, raising tingles along the arms, chest & thighs. Bare muscles stretch freely, unconfined, while each step sends sensation upward from the feet through the entire #body. The stomach tightens, the back arches, & even the fingertips seem sharpened with life. Without clothing, the #body does not merely exist in #nature, it feels every pulse of it.

Untitled, Robert S. Gessner, 1964

Chores and errands today. This seems tidy and positive and disciplined. Things are moving and working, a complex but productive day in the life. no round pegs. The round pegs are annihilated in black boxes in the corners. We don't talk about that on chore day. 👹 Love this one

This differs greatly from popular modern ideas of #meditation as comfort, escapism, or self-soothing. #Zen training, including #HadakaShizenyoku, aims toward clarity & immediacy rather than sedation. Sleepiness, fantasy, emotional intoxication, or mental drifting are obstacles because they weaken observation. True meditative #awareness is alert, grounded, physically #awake, & fully engaged with immediate #reality exactly as it presents itself from moment to moment. (8/9)
#Buddhist #meditation aims for vivid #awareness & stable #attention capable of observing thoughts, emotions, fears, cravings, & bodily sensations clearly without immediately reacting to them. #Zen especially values alert presence. The #zazen posture itself reflects this: upright, attentive, balanced, & fully #awake to immediate #reality. (16/16)

“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.”

- from the book “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

SYSLOG://SLEEP.SERVICE.fail
Core process stalled at 03:12. Brain running recursive diagnostics while ceiling fan spins like outdated server cooling hardware. Caffeine reserves unstable. Bedroom rendered in monochrome silence while tomorrow’s responsibilities queue endlessly in background memory. Human operator remains awake for absolutely no productive reason. System overheating. Civilization continues on patched firmware.

down the winding street,

down the winding street, 
the neighbor’s old dogs stay indoors, 
looking up from their 

perch on the windowsill now and 
then, dreaming of awakening
