The idea of myself as a mysterious gap into which the universe throws ingredients which combine to create, is appealing. Where I perceive “myself” to be is really this gap. Maybe what I perceive myself to be is the result of whatever mix took part in this gap during the creative process.

It is hard not to judge at all. I often feel the need to align with something, to belong. But then I start to experience bondage and I take myself out of the nest. Both the joining and the severing processes have an element of judgement.

Taste as curiosity shaped by personal history and experience. I do consume a large amount of work but do not produce anywhere near an equivalent amount. I wonder if that is due to laziness, not a quality I associate with myself. I think not. I feel I engage best as a learning student although on occasion I have also functioned well as a teacher.

My affinity with emergence, my valuing something in its raw stage of being created equally if not more than the polished final result, my loss of interest beyond a certain critical mass – maybe all this keeps the output small.

Lack of exposure but also the desire for it.

I like to read Zat’s musings. They stir a whole lot of currents in my mind, something I value and have developed a taste for.
