Experience, create, avoid
Experience A feeling Absorb thyselves Become the feeling Don't think Don't ask questions No trying too hard No reliving the past No inherent purpose But sense; Words are useless, Words are a burden When you feel. Flow with it. Live. Create A feeling Invent From your dreams materials From the void From imagination Make art With the hands of your heart Mix; Shake; Taste; Sense; And then say: "100% pure feeling! Original! Go buy some!" And everyone will line up to experience Thy newly-made feeling No one has experienced before. Avoid A feeling Run... and keep running. Hide... and keep hiding. Deny... and keep denying. Sink down... and keep sinking.
