We can imagine an escalator as being a (conveyor) belt between two different states of consciousness. On the one hand (beginning or end, depending on how you see it) the lower (or higher) level, and on the other hand a progression or pro-‘motion’ of the f

In an area of high winds
and strong convictions, I have
lived among the ever-changing crowd
that is always the same.

Everybody's trying to just not get killed. Cut flowers. It's an illusion. The grand smell of our deathly beauty. They were so afraid of the ghost dance once upon a burning time that they decided on murder to get it to stop. Those were the days. That's…

Forgive the earth that’s
got a hold on you.
Forgive the trees.
Forgive yourself,

damaged goods.
Therefore,
quit looking for the
expected.
Look instead
at the unknown

Describe it.
Use great detail.
