Flooded Floorless Jungle
See previous notes for further context: Notes from L’amor Raging Rapids. Where I crashed on the far side of the shore, naked, clambering for whatever sand oozes grit through my fingers while clenching for humid air may not make sense. Your former partner, another researcher with a separate hypothesis with semi-complementary objectives, is lost on the opposite side, miles back.

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.
