I
believe the most important part of language
is rhythm. Language is nothing other than
music. Therefore most essays, for example,
are boring, while most pop lyrics provide at
least a little caffeine. The written word and
the spoken word are not at odds::::they are
brothers displaying different talents. Many
times I'll write a poem and not read it
aloud. The rhythm is something inner, though
it would flow quite naturally if read
aloud::::somtimes it's best to keep things
inner::::to experience the rhythm of language
inside and silently. That's what thoughts
are. I believe the most important part of
thinking is its rhythm. Thought is nothing
other than music. Therefore most gathering is
draining, while most dreams give us at least
a little strength. Thought and dreams are not
at odds::::they are brothers exhibiting
different talents. Many times I'll think
something to myself, when it could just as
well have arrived from a dream. The dream
becomes disarmed, gesticular::::sometimes
it's for the best to forget dreams. That's
what intuition is, something forgotten the
moment it occurs. I believe the most
important part of intuition is rhythm.
Intuition is nothing other than music.
Therefore most unconscious acts are automatic
and logical, sequential, while most things
purposely done in our daily life are labored
and nonsensical. Intuition and Doing are not
at odds::::they are brothers displaying
different talents. Many times I'll be
intuitively guided through a situation.
Sometimes the rhythm is fluid and comes to me
as if a series of silences within
silences::::the inner dance of
silences::::something which I experience as
nothing. That's what Being is. I believe the
most important aspect of being is rhythm.
