so  paul

you are the most photographed

man of the last five decades

20  cameras every day

do you have a memory of everything

have you researched life at the vast libraries

detailing your every day

is it a fate worse than death

so little of interest to

the illustrated man

part of an edge cutting out

a process

g u essing pretty well

unconsciously
in a field

if god had wished to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened

he could have done so by revealing himself to them so plainly that they could not doubt the truth of his essence

this is not the way he wished to appear when he came in mildness

so many men had shown themselves unworthy of his clemency that he wished to deprive them of the good they did not desire

It was therefore not right that he should appear in a manner manifestly divine
absolutely  convincing

neither was it right that his coming should be so hidden that he could not be recognized by those who sincerely sought him

he wished to make himself perfectly recognizable to them

thus wishing to appear openly to those who seek him with all their heart and hidden from those who shun him

he has qualified our knowledge by giving signs which can be seen by those who seek him and not by those who do not

     

      there is enough light for those who desire only to see and enough darkness for those of a contrary disposition

a format that's open

asks for nothing

being famous

the ultimate alienation

seen as different

the true other

an animal

you at bottom

a wild animal

teaching has only tamed

you're still pacing

coming out

how can one

be a photograph

exhibition

inside you

my body

is only the perceptible

part of me

in this space

my mind is the body

of a  consciousness

a  personality

which I walk daily

how proteins fold up
infinite variability

indeterminacy

base for continuity

new way to scio

free from experiment

argument logic

everything is

old light

waiting for  the future

waiting for you

The eye is the best of artists.  By the mutual action of its structure and of the laws of light, perspective is produced which integrates every mass of objects of what character soever into a well colored and shaded globe so that where the particular objects are mean and unaffecting, the landscape which they compose is round and symmetrical       waldo

Our age is retrospective. It builds the sepulchres of the fathers. It writes biographies, histories and criticism. The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs? Embosomed for a season in nature whose floods of life stream around and through us and invite us by the powers they supply to action proportioned to nature, why should we grope among the dry bones of the past or put the living generation into masquerade out of its faded wardrobe?

The sun shines to-day also. There is more wool and flax in the fields. There are new lands, new men, new thoughts. Let us demand our own works and laws and worship.

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy.

Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life before he apprehends it as truth.

In like manner nature is already in its forms and tendencies describing its own design. Let us interrogate the great apparition, that shines so peacefully around us. Let us inquire, to what end is nature?

 

We are now so far from the road to truth that religious teachers dispute and hate each other and speculative men are esteemed unsound and frivolous.

 

But to a sound judgment, the most abstract truth is the most practical.

Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence
