MUSCHELKALK

It’s the lymph that transmits the information to keep me alive. Let’s say: essential to my functioning. I am not just my thinking, I am all that, this body and these organs, these sensations and the sensation of them.

There is no more straight way in all this than there is a circle. Separating the cycle from the evolution now seems to me quite childish. There is only impermanent permanence, the “coniunctio oppositorum”. The Groove That Hovers. I perceive new sensations. I hear this sound that beats me and carries me at the same time, and I surrender myself. And I’m here, too.

Is the echo good for us, or does it destroy us? Memories rock us to the core and capture our attention, pinning us to the past. Do we have to get rid of them in order to roll into the present?
