Musing about a muse: brings the indeterminate back directly into life, though the effect is, by nature, disturbing to any pre-established [dynamic] equilibrium. Was there ever any in life thus far? Then there are the simple images that arise from encounter, a hand, a shoulder, a torso, seen best in the resonant allowance to look beyond, through, and simply at the sanctioned. Life transitions from dry-throated mental rasp to fluid inflected neural fire — no pleural effusion — but simply the life-lubricating properties of water re-entering the body. For the thirsty, this is eau de source. Catalysis of seen and unseen, spoken and unspoken things brings conflagration to the chakras. But who needs overheated chakras? Burning up life is not really something needed when it burns up, readily fast. Energies may be bound up with lived presence, while life depends upon an unleashing of those same energies. Élan vital. It’s the unleashing that is the source of most anxiety. Pent-up energies traveling along the well-worn pathways of former be-ing end up re-circulating ad nauseum, subsequently causing pathologies in the embodied system. Stressed, sparking contact needs to find flow pathways that are … open … or needs to make openings, spontaneously. for survival.
