Just watching and listening to the world,
my world! The only one any of us will ever have.
Do you know where it all takes place?
In the body, in the body, in the body--where else?
The sheer impossibility that worlds exist anywhere else
is mind-boggling. Don't you think?
With loving attention, one can arrive at this sacred intimacy;
one can feel the worlds alive inside.
They cannot possibly be anywhere else, in living truth.

Where does it all take place?
This blog is essentially about two narrative topics that are or will be more important to us in the near future, chaos and determinism. To quote Edward Lorenz, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.” and, oddly, William Faulkner, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Strangely, both succinctly declare what this blog is all about and how chaos, determinism, and the past along with sentience or awareness are in process of generating human subjective experience--again, the life of each one of us as it is lived. This blog seeks to humanize our language of experience and to help us focus on experience at the expense of an undue prioritizing of theory over experience.
