blessed! - I've been reading it all morning. You know if we had an
automated uphill battle detection system, would it be heaven at last?
I believe that a good ac***ulation is having great questions at hand -
small, localized questions that lead to answers to great questions.
Methodology for example looks like instrumentation, which looks like
the phenomenon observed. By looking at the one's relation to
methodology people always protest at ignorance. Buy when a person is
describing or defining something we are struck to find a question
"Where do you see that?" fully blown into deep unknown.
I experienced an edgy tale of a journey especially around the
contextual offering of where it might be, what we may navigate, "a
night", "springing past a contruct", transfiguration", and I even
sensed an astronomical "ruler" as a mythological guidance.
But also I disliked it more than other poems. It is conflicting,
escaping, concerning. I am far removed from navigating a modest
journey through pluses and minuses into a "purpose".
I'm wondering what methodology the poet used to create assuredness of
the liberation. In my opinion it was a failure to ask for a purpose. I
witness such assuredness in the non-linearly opposite from the linear
road itself hence sensing a collapsing roof, or hard uncertain look
above a cliff hiding the midsection "midst".
Where do I see a one forest, one, here, from above so well?
