Worlds and words and worms and worse,
we sit together weaving meaning,
where the sky meets the earth
and the moon hovers
at the brink of touch,
just enough to not forget

In the world of words only worldliness is that which is craved. Connections to the visceral, to the earth, to however close to the truth without burning the flesh might be possible, is what is aimed to be explored. The phenomenal, is it real - how can we tell, I can't, can you? 

I lay here questioning the reality of the real, with such an ease and out of such comfort that it must, because if it's not then I musn't be either -

Worlds are what you make of them, what you make, what you utter. Worlds are perceived, felt, lived through and in turn created, acted out, performed - performed by bodies at times and in these cases, mostly purely without the consciousness of mind. I trust to sit here and wallow, in the pit of my physicality, carrying the weight of my internalities with pride and oblivion, not noticing the role they might be playing in making me see the way I do, making me act the way I feel is.. ?.

Words attempting to capture worldliness, capturing being itself, in its very composition - bringing components into the visible; making it that which I can see, that which you can name and another, understand. Reliable in its whimsicality, dependent in its imperfect inaccuracy, the million different ways the same state can be attempted to be described over and over again, to be conveyed and re-presented, and to in the midst of it, celebrate it with joy and childish laughter.

TRACKING MEANING - GUIDED BY CURIOSITY AND THE SUN

'If commoning has a meaning, it must be the production of ourselves as a common subject' (Silvia Federici, 2019).

CHASM (n.)
1950s, 'deep crack in the earth', from Latin chasma, from Greek Khasma 'yawning hallow, gulf', related to khaskein 'to yawn', and thus to chaos. In English in 17c., often spelled chasma. Figurative use, in reference to a great interruption or wide breach of any kind, is from 1640s. Related: Chasmy (1786); chasmal (1852, Poe); chasmis (1885). The bloody chasm (1868) was an old rhetorical phrase for the American Civil War.

Ma (negative space)
Japanese
Ma ('gap, space, pause') is a Japanese reading of a Sino-Japanese character, which is often used to refer to what is claimed to be a specific Japanese concept of negative space.

ma is taken to refer to an artistic interpretation of an empty space, often holding as much importance as the rest of an artwork and focusing the viewer on the intention of negative space in an art piece.

Though commonly used to refer to literal, visible negative space, ma may also refer to the perception of a space, gap or interval, without necessarily requiring a physical compositional element.
Existence < Perception of absence

"an emptiness full of possibilities, like a promise yet to be fulfilled"

Author Derrick de Kerckhove described ma as "the complex network of relationships between people and objects"

"A door through the crevice of which the moonshine peeps in"

highlight:
DEEP CRACK IN THE EARTH, DEEP CRACK IN YOUR ARSE.
When what hearts the earth reflects how we hurt as humans.
YAWNING. ?? 
To chaos?

YAWN
1. involuntarily open one's mouth wide and inhale deeply, typically on account of tiredness or boredom.
2.(of an opening or space) be very large and wide.
"she started inching back from the abyss that yawned before her"

CHAOS (n.)
Late 14c., 'gaping void; empty, immesurable space', from Old French chaos (14c.) or directly from Latin chaos, from Greek khaos 'abyss that which gapes wide open, that which is vast and empty' (from 'khnwos, from PIE root *ghieh- ' to yawn, gape, be wide open').

The meaning 'utter confusion' (c. 1600) is an extended sense from theological use of chaos in the Vulgate version of 'Genesis' (1530s in English) for 'the void at the beginning of creation, the confused, formless, elementary state of the universe'. The Greek for 'disorder' was tarakhē, but the use of chaos here was rooted in Hesiod ('Theogony'), who describes khaos as the primeval emptiness of the Universe, and in Ovid ('Metamorphoses'), who opposes Khaos to Kosmos, 'the ordered Universe'. Sometimes it was personified as a god, begetter of Erebus and Nyx ('Night').

Meaning 'orderless confusion' in human affairs is from c.1600. Chaos theory in the modern mathematical sense is attested from c. 1977.

Thoughts on chaos:
firstly used in a theological sense, in terms of referring to the universe. Chaos vs Kosmos.

ANCIENT GREEK POETS SUCH AS HESIOD (750 - 650 BC.) reflected contemporary understanding on the universe and/or its origins and formation, the difference between order & disorder, i.e. ENTROPY.

ENTROPY
In thermodynamics, entropy is often associated with the amount of order or disorder in a thermodynamic system. This stems from Rudolf Clausius' 1862 assertion that any thermodynamic process always "admits to being reduced [reduction] to the alteration in some way or another of the arrangement of the constituent parts of the working body" and that internal work associated with these alterations is quantified energetically by a measure of "entropy" change..

This "molecular ordering" entropy perspective traces its origins to molecular movement interpretations developed by Rudolf Clausius in the 1850s..

order and disorder are commonly understood to be measured in terms of entropy

Entropy and disorder also have associations with equilibrium.[8] Technically, entropy, from this perspective, is defined as a thermodynamic property which serves as a measure of how close a system is to equilibrium—that is, to perfect internal disorder.

Boltzmann formula, which relates entropy S to the number of possible states W in which a system can be found. Can it ever be perfect entropy though??? 

according to the views of thermodynamic ecologists Sven Jorgensen and Yuri Svirezhev, “it is obvious that entropy is a measure of order or, most likely, disorder in the system.”[13] In this direction, the second law of thermodynamics, as famously enunciated by Rudolf Clausius in 1865, states that:

The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.

Thus, if entropy is associated with disorder and if the entropy of the universe is headed towards maximal entropy, then many are often puzzled as to the nature of the "ordering" process and operation of evolution in relation to Clausius' most famous version of the second law, which states that the universe is headed towards maximal “disorder”. In the recent 2003 book SYNC – the Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order by Steven Strogatz, for example, we find “Scientists have often been baffled by the existence of spontaneous order in the universe. The laws of thermodynamics seem to dictate the opposite, that nature should inexorably degenerate toward a state of greater disorder, greater entropy. Yet all around us we see magnificent structures—galaxies, cells, ecosystems, human beings—that have all somehow managed to assemble themselves.”

Laws of thermodynamics

In thermodynamics, enthalpy /ˈɛnθəlpi/ i, is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume.

LIMINALITY
In anthropology, liminality (from Latin līmen 'a threshold')[1] is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete.[2] During a rite's liminal stage, participants "stand at the threshold"[3] between their previous way of structuring their identity, time, or community, and a new way

LIMBO OF LIFE

WU WEI
Wu wei (simplified Chinese: 无为; traditional Chinese: 無為; pinyin: wúwéi) is an ancient Chinese concept literally meaning "inexertion", "inaction", or "effortless action".[a][1][2] Wu wei emerged in the Spring and Autumn period. With early literary examples in Confucianism, it is an important concept in Chinese statecraft[3] and Taoism. It was most commonly used to refer to an ideal form of government,[4] including the behavior of the emperor. Describing a state of personal harmony, free-flowing spontaneity and laissez-faire, it generally also more properly denotes a state of spirit or mind, and in Confucianism accords with conventional morality.

Sinologist Jean François Billeter describes wu-wei as a "state of perfect knowledge of the reality of the situation, perfect efficaciousness and the realization of a perfect economy of energy", which Oxford's Edward Slingerland qualifies in practice as a "set of ('transformed') dispositions (including physical bearing)... conforming with the normative order"

???????

WHY NORMATIVE ORDER, COULDN'T IT ALSO BE LARGER KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE ITSELF?

YIN AND YANG

AHHHHHH
HAHAHA

Yin and yang (/jɪn/ and /jæŋ/), yinyang,[1][2] or yin-yang[3][2] is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of yin and yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sex (female and male), the formation of both men and women as characters, and sociopolitical history (disorder and order).

KOMOREBI® { 木漏れ日 } is the Japanese word for sunlight, which is filtered through the leaves of the trees. In particular, it means the visible light rays. “Komorebi” is composed of several parts of the word: “Ko” means tree or trees.

General Idea's work inhabited and subverted forms of popular and media culture, including boutiques, television talk shows, trade fair pavilions, mass media and beauty pageants.[4] The beauty pageant, The 1971 Miss General Idea Pageant, allowed for both male and female artist to send in pictures of them wearing the taffeta dress provided.[5] Their work was often presented in unconventional media forms such as postcards, prints, posters, wallpaper, balloons, crests and pins. Self-mythology was a continuous strategy that informed their work. They created a fictional system that self-referenced and self-legitimized, claiming a space for their local art scene in Canada. Their intent was to reach a greater audience and so their work moved from art galleries and museums to newsstands. This ensured that different types of people who spent time in different places could have a psychological or social reaction in a place comfortable to them.[6] General Idea initially portrayed themselves as an ambiguous group, but soon realized it was causing confusion with the public. This led to a series of self portrayal or marketing images including "Fin de Siècle".

Self-mythology was a continuous strategy that informed their work. They created a fictional system that self-referenced and self-legitimized, claiming a space for their local art scene in Canada.

The central themes that would preoccupy General Idea throughout their career – self-mythologization, spectacle, appropriation, parody, media deconstruction, an ironic interest in commerce and the semiotics of advertising language – were clearly present in the early days of the group. They shared an interest in the forms and methods of popular culture and mass media,[11]: 9  and were influenced by the writing of Marshall McLuhan, William Burroughs, and by the Situationist International.

The Beat Generation was a literary subculture movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-World War II era.[1] The bulk of their work was published and popularized by Silent Generationers in the 1950s, better known as Beatniks. The central elements of Beat culture are the rejection of standard narrative values, making a spiritual quest, the exploration of American and Eastern religions, the rejection of economic materialism, explicit portrayals of the human condition, experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and sexual liberation and exploration.

Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch (1959), and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) are among the best known examples of Beat literature. The members of the Beat Generation developed a reputation as new bohemian hedonists, who celebrated non-conformity and spontaneous creativity.

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.

appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

Wabi-sabi is a composite of two interrelated aesthetic concepts, wabi (侘) and sabi (寂).

wabi may be translated as "subdued, austere beauty,"

sabi means "rustic patina."

Wabi-sabi is derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印, sanbōin), impermanence (無常, mujō), suffering (苦, ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空, kū)

wabi originally referred to the loneliness of living in nature, remote from society

Andrew Juniper notes that, "If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

Civil Society

Civil society is the realm of economic relationships as it exists in the modern industrial capitalist society, for it had emerged at the particular period of capitalism and served its interests: individual rights and private property

KEY WORDS & IDEAS
- private property & individual rights/individualized conception of freedom
- as the 'common sense' created to fit the capitalist mode of production; perception of I and other, of everyhting fitting into that framework
