a long piece 00:00:07.790 --> 00:00:12.650 align:middle line:84% and then finish with two other poems. 00:00:12.650 --> 00:00:16.490 align:middle line:84% It's called "A Context of a Wave." 00:00:16.490 --> 00:00:18.650 align:middle line:90% And it's prose. 00:00:18.650 --> 00:00:20.510 align:middle line:90% It's kind of a daily writing. 00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:26.780 align:middle line:84% And it was written in Galisteo, New Mexico, where I was living. 00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:35.300 align:middle line:84% And Galisteo is a basin and there's the far distance to see 00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:39.830 align:middle line:84% and there's a mountain called the Wave. 00:00:39.830 --> 00:00:43.400 align:middle line:84% And that's all there is, there's very few elements. 00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:49.010 align:middle line:84% And in a way, I use this moon and the sun and the mountain-- 00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:56.540 align:middle line:84% I use these elements to talk about what a person's 00:00:56.540 --> 00:00:58.280 align:middle line:90% relationship to a place is. 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.170 align:middle line:84% But I was really thinking about the question of-- 00:01:02.170 --> 00:01:05.060 align:middle line:84% I read it-- oh, Alan Davies had written it. 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:09.950 align:middle line:84% Like, what is the connection between literature and life? 00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:11.510 align:middle line:90% Which I had never-- 00:01:11.510 --> 00:01:13.700 align:middle line:90% I never had asked myself. 00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.370 align:middle line:84% And in a way, I was talking about that 00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:19.895 align:middle line:84% by talking about what's the connection with a place. 00:01:19.895 --> 00:01:22.580 align:middle line:90% 00:01:22.580 --> 00:01:25.340 align:middle line:84% I was also thinking about values, values here. 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:29.600 align:middle line:84% And this was written over a month, November and December. 00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.030 align:middle line:90% 00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:38.195 align:middle line:84% It's called "A Context of a Wave." 00:01:38.195 --> 00:01:40.880 align:middle line:90% 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:42.455 align:middle line:90% It starts out November 5. 00:01:42.455 --> 00:01:45.940 align:middle line:90% 00:01:45.940 --> 00:01:50.470 align:middle line:84% "You could be thinking about your physical placement. 00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:55.660 align:middle line:84% What can be a continuum and what is chance? 00:01:55.660 --> 00:02:00.070 align:middle line:84% You place yourself innately on a mesa. 00:02:00.070 --> 00:02:04.300 align:middle line:84% There are blue hills at each horizon. 00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:09.160 align:middle line:84% The light falls copiously onto your open space. 00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:11.500 align:middle line:84% The path of the sun and the planets 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:13.390 align:middle line:90% are proportioned around you. 00:02:13.390 --> 00:02:16.390 align:middle line:90% 00:02:16.390 --> 00:02:21.280 align:middle line:84% The source of the balance is a sense perception. 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.930 align:middle line:84% Your perception of your location is not contingent, 00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:31.330 align:middle line:84% but accords with an idea of location inside you 00:02:31.330 --> 00:02:35.635 align:middle line:84% that turns in you like a gyroscope as you are moving. 00:02:35.635 --> 00:02:39.160 align:middle line:90% 00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:42.550 align:middle line:84% I believe in this sense perception of place 00:02:42.550 --> 00:02:46.690 align:middle line:90% because I experience it. 00:02:46.690 --> 00:02:51.250 align:middle line:84% It may be a sense of the shape of a space or of the balance 00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:54.820 align:middle line:90% of features of this space. 00:02:54.820 --> 00:02:58.480 align:middle line:84% Or it may be a sense of a point on the Earth in relation 00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:02.110 align:middle line:84% to forces in the Earth, which may be 00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:06.130 align:middle line:90% affected by stars and planets. 00:03:06.130 --> 00:03:09.595 align:middle line:84% Or it may be in relation to stars and planets." 00:03:09.595 --> 00:03:12.420 align:middle line:90% 00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:14.440 align:middle line:90% This is the 9th. 00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:16.150 align:middle line:84% "So that the place would sit in me, 00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:19.210 align:middle line:84% it's wide space with sun as what it would 00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.600 align:middle line:90% be in my memory of this time. 00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:25.090 align:middle line:84% And how it would be perceived is a matrix 00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:28.960 align:middle line:84% of how you were with some people around you. 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:33.370 align:middle line:84% Not agents, but catalyst or fuel for the perception of light 00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:35.320 align:middle line:90% on a wide space. 00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:39.580 align:middle line:84% So free as to be impersonal in the company, 00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.160 align:middle line:90% implacable and impersonal. 00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:45.050 align:middle line:90% 00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:45.550 align:middle line:90% 10. 00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.220 align:middle line:90% 00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:52.000 align:middle line:84% She would remember that it was a place of the wind. 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.770 align:middle line:84% She would think that she would remember 00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:59.090 align:middle line:84% the sight of sun and light without sound or with value. 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:02.800 align:middle line:84% But her body is pushed and drawn on by the force of wind 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:08.080 align:middle line:84% on the ridge every day so that someday she would remember 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.910 align:middle line:90% that she had lived in wind. 00:04:09.910 --> 00:04:12.800 align:middle line:90% 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.790 align:middle line:84% The wind can be in the future, a direction, 00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:22.730 align:middle line:84% as if there were time because it comes from somewhere. 00:04:22.730 --> 00:04:25.340 align:middle line:84% Because it draws you somewhere, it 00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:29.150 align:middle line:84% is the time or space that is the next thing somewhere 00:04:29.150 --> 00:04:35.810 align:middle line:84% among the materials of a space or at a time. 00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:39.050 align:middle line:84% Because it might be seen as an expression of the forces 00:04:39.050 --> 00:04:43.410 align:middle line:84% making it, which push on you or draw from you. 00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:47.960 align:middle line:84% It is an expression too, everything it is not. 00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.160 align:middle line:84% And you are reminded you are what it is not. 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.500 align:middle line:84% And this expression abstains from you 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:58.460 align:middle line:84% as a space when the wind is pushing all night 00:04:58.460 --> 00:05:01.400 align:middle line:84% or on a sunny day against the windows 00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:02.810 align:middle line:90% and walls of your house. 00:05:02.810 --> 00:05:05.500 align:middle line:90% 00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:10.540 align:middle line:84% Then this expression of being what something is not 00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:15.730 align:middle line:84% joins you with a piece of leaning yellow grass in low sun 00:05:15.730 --> 00:05:19.690 align:middle line:84% or it abstains you from the expression 00:05:19.690 --> 00:05:23.950 align:middle line:84% as if you are more becoming in your mind what you are looking 00:05:23.950 --> 00:05:25.690 align:middle line:90% at than what you are feeling. 00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:29.565 align:middle line:90% 00:05:29.565 --> 00:05:30.065 align:middle line:90% 11. 00:05:30.065 --> 00:05:33.070 align:middle line:90% 00:05:33.070 --> 00:05:34.810 align:middle line:84% You would be able to see the meaning 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:37.150 align:middle line:84% or whole of the space between the objects 00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:39.520 align:middle line:84% on the table, which before had been 00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.130 align:middle line:84% random space between the fork and the salt crystal. 00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:47.140 align:middle line:84% Now you can see the meaning or the whole 00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:51.370 align:middle line:84% of the space between rods of illuminated streaks of clouds 00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:55.450 align:middle line:84% at sunset, zooming this way and that, and the volume 00:05:55.450 --> 00:05:58.690 align:middle line:90% and vector between them. 00:05:58.690 --> 00:06:02.530 align:middle line:84% From you to the horizon gains a meaning, 00:06:02.530 --> 00:06:04.690 align:middle line:90% something happens to you. 00:06:04.690 --> 00:06:07.060 align:middle line:90% It is time moving. 00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:10.810 align:middle line:84% And you can see them as a whole thing and not the space 00:06:10.810 --> 00:06:13.270 align:middle line:84% between one cloud and another that 00:06:13.270 --> 00:06:18.370 align:middle line:84% appear on the same plane because of the same color of light 00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:19.210 align:middle line:90% on them. 00:06:19.210 --> 00:06:23.390 align:middle line:90% 00:06:23.390 --> 00:06:25.520 align:middle line:90% 12. 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:28.190 align:middle line:90% We walked in the dry riverbed. 00:06:28.190 --> 00:06:32.000 align:middle line:84% Water had left the sand in sweeps of lines and currents, 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.300 align:middle line:90% fronds of tamarack drifted in. 00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:39.350 align:middle line:84% I want to call it pollen of tamarack drifting into patterns 00:06:39.350 --> 00:06:42.380 align:middle line:84% of sand made by currents of water 00:06:42.380 --> 00:06:46.250 align:middle line:90% like drifts of events in time. 00:06:46.250 --> 00:06:48.950 align:middle line:84% But it is more like the bits of tamarack 00:06:48.950 --> 00:06:52.430 align:middle line:84% frond broken by the current and drifting into patterns 00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:55.430 align:middle line:90% or record was the time. 00:06:55.430 --> 00:06:59.180 align:middle line:84% Because of there being something besides a pattern 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:01.985 align:middle line:90% to perceive time by means of. 00:07:01.985 --> 00:07:04.610 align:middle line:90% 00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:06.650 align:middle line:84% A skin of tufts of yellow grasses 00:07:06.650 --> 00:07:10.100 align:middle line:84% on a hillside through off the lateral light 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:14.270 align:middle line:84% and through down their delicate shadows. 00:07:14.270 --> 00:07:17.885 align:middle line:84% The flank of a hill suggesting a living creature. 00:07:17.885 --> 00:07:21.225 align:middle line:90% 00:07:21.225 --> 00:07:21.725 align:middle line:90% 13. 00:07:21.725 --> 00:07:24.410 align:middle line:90% 00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:27.350 align:middle line:84% You can see the complexity of autumn plants and trees 00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:29.540 align:middle line:90% in the canyon below you. 00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:32.870 align:middle line:84% It is late autumn, the yellow and brown jumble 00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:34.760 align:middle line:90% of the foliage. 00:07:34.760 --> 00:07:37.700 align:middle line:84% Most of the leaves have fallen from the trees and bushes 00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:41.660 align:middle line:84% into heaps and drifts on either side of the stream. 00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:44.540 align:middle line:84% We are accustomed to think of disorganization 00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:47.120 align:middle line:84% and of increasing disorganization 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.360 align:middle line:90% as a vector toward entropy. 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.780 align:middle line:84% The pleasurable complexity of matter in the canyon 00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:59.390 align:middle line:84% would seem to be entropic except for its beauty. 00:07:59.390 --> 00:08:01.460 align:middle line:90% It looks like death. 00:08:01.460 --> 00:08:05.960 align:middle line:84% It seems entropic, but it is not entropic. 00:08:05.960 --> 00:08:09.630 align:middle line:90% As biological death may not be. 00:08:09.630 --> 00:08:13.190 align:middle line:84% And I wonder if the beauty is an innate apprehension 00:08:13.190 --> 00:08:17.765 align:middle line:84% of the ongoingness or other than entropy of that sight. 00:08:17.765 --> 00:08:20.605 align:middle line:90% 00:08:20.605 --> 00:08:21.105 align:middle line:90% 14. 00:08:21.105 --> 00:08:24.300 align:middle line:90% 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:27.960 align:middle line:84% I see the honey moon rise from a bare horizon 00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:31.830 align:middle line:84% after the sunset behind a mountain. 00:08:31.830 --> 00:08:33.870 align:middle line:90% I was waiting for the moon. 00:08:33.870 --> 00:08:36.480 align:middle line:84% It was a test and not a knowledge 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.299 align:middle line:84% of the movement of the risings by which 00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:44.610 align:middle line:84% I am trying to judge where I am on this plane. 00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:47.190 align:middle line:84% We are trying to understand if the moon sets 00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:49.860 align:middle line:84% in a different place than the sun. 00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:54.030 align:middle line:84% The sun which is moving and moving down the horizon. 00:08:54.030 --> 00:08:56.850 align:middle line:84% Soon its colored glow will silhouette 00:08:56.850 --> 00:08:59.040 align:middle line:90% a mountain called the Wave. 00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:02.300 align:middle line:90% 00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:05.060 align:middle line:90% 15. 00:09:05.060 --> 00:09:08.480 align:middle line:84% How this relates to your seeing the moon rise in your rearview 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.980 align:middle line:84% mirror driving west on an empty road home. 00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:15.320 align:middle line:84% She had wanted to see the gap between the moon 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.170 align:middle line:84% and the horizon, the space that would be into infinity. 00:09:21.170 --> 00:09:22.910 align:middle line:84% And then she would be seeing the moon 00:09:22.910 --> 00:09:27.410 align:middle line:84% in the mirror surrounded by gaps in direction and in distance. 00:09:27.410 --> 00:09:31.130 align:middle line:84% And these gaps have to do with this writing and not 00:09:31.130 --> 00:09:33.005 align:middle line:90% with situation or place. 00:09:33.005 --> 00:09:35.580 align:middle line:90% 00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:38.050 align:middle line:90% 21. 00:09:38.050 --> 00:09:41.460 align:middle line:84% You see streaks of clouds in the sky, 00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:44.250 align:middle line:84% a sky evenly striped with clouds from top 00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:48.210 align:middle line:90% to bottom, which you leave. 00:09:48.210 --> 00:09:53.010 align:middle line:84% And then you see two long plumes of clouds in another sky that 00:09:53.010 --> 00:09:56.550 align:middle line:90% is lighter and bluer. 00:09:56.550 --> 00:09:59.550 align:middle line:84% This sky stretches over you always, 00:09:59.550 --> 00:10:05.010 align:middle line:84% but it is a sky that looks different from there than here. 00:10:05.010 --> 00:10:07.140 align:middle line:84% The composition of the atmosphere, 00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:12.270 align:middle line:84% the angle of the sun distinguish the blue factor. 00:10:12.270 --> 00:10:16.060 align:middle line:84% I want to say content of the sky. 00:10:16.060 --> 00:10:22.170 align:middle line:84% I want to say the skies of two places have two contents. 00:10:22.170 --> 00:10:26.610 align:middle line:84% You would want to examine the content in regard to its value. 00:10:26.610 --> 00:10:30.015 align:middle line:84% And I don't know if this has anything to do with place. 00:10:30.015 --> 00:10:32.550 align:middle line:90% 00:10:32.550 --> 00:10:33.050 align:middle line:90% 23. 00:10:33.050 --> 00:10:35.660 align:middle line:90% 00:10:35.660 --> 00:10:39.060 align:middle line:84% The sky is continuous with the other places. 00:10:39.060 --> 00:10:42.020 align:middle line:84% And yet when I look at the afterglow of the sunset, 00:10:42.020 --> 00:10:45.110 align:middle line:84% I see a rim of layered clouds on the horizon 00:10:45.110 --> 00:10:50.450 align:middle line:84% all around me, a rim or limit of this sky. 00:10:50.450 --> 00:10:55.070 align:middle line:84% Just above the rim, my eye could go into deep space 00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:58.490 align:middle line:84% or my eye could go into infinity. 00:10:58.490 --> 00:11:02.420 align:middle line:84% But the line of my glance will not meet the persons 00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:06.920 align:middle line:84% in the other place looking of a moral content that 00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:08.900 align:middle line:90% would not be comparable. 00:11:08.900 --> 00:11:12.870 align:middle line:90% 00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:13.370 align:middle line:90% 24. 00:11:13.370 --> 00:11:16.540 align:middle line:90% 00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:18.040 align:middle line:84% If we would be thinking about what 00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:22.060 align:middle line:84% a particular moon or a sky as an event has to do with anything 00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:25.780 align:middle line:84% I'm writing, and also the relationship of event 00:11:25.780 --> 00:11:30.610 align:middle line:90% to location in what I'm writing. 00:11:30.610 --> 00:11:34.180 align:middle line:84% What does it mean to try and see something in Galisteo 00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:37.030 align:middle line:90% to write about? 00:11:37.030 --> 00:11:39.640 align:middle line:84% If you're talking about place in words, 00:11:39.640 --> 00:11:45.340 align:middle line:84% not place in being, which is an orientation of being. 00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:49.510 align:middle line:84% Whereas place in words can be a sort of focus of being, 00:11:49.510 --> 00:11:52.600 align:middle line:84% or a little sieve through which another person can 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.110 align:middle line:90% focus the interest of about. 00:11:56.110 --> 00:11:59.200 align:middle line:84% The interest or pleasure of a dark volcanic rock 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.860 align:middle line:84% in the riverbed, its shadow, your suspicion 00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:07.420 align:middle line:84% that it moves from side to side when no one is there. 00:12:07.420 --> 00:12:11.200 align:middle line:84% What interest is, which is not experience, 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.790 align:middle line:84% but part of the body that might fuel interest or be 00:12:15.790 --> 00:12:16.885 align:middle line:90% part of its fuel. 00:12:16.885 --> 00:12:19.870 align:middle line:90% 00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:20.650 align:middle line:90% 27. 00:12:20.650 --> 00:12:23.200 align:middle line:84% For example, you would be tracking 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.310 align:middle line:84% where you are as a sighting of what your content would be, 00:12:27.310 --> 00:12:29.680 align:middle line:90% time as nature. 00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:31.750 align:middle line:84% The sun sets farther and farther left 00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:33.550 align:middle line:90% on the small mountain range. 00:12:33.550 --> 00:12:38.680 align:middle line:84% So the sunset glow begins to approach your favorite Wave. 00:12:38.680 --> 00:12:45.190 align:middle line:84% Favorite being a content and also approach of a glow. 00:12:45.190 --> 00:12:48.331 align:middle line:84% When she cannot see what the place is, 00:12:48.331 --> 00:12:50.750 align:middle line:84% is that part of the end of the time, 00:12:50.750 --> 00:12:54.940 align:middle line:84% such as the yellow grasses have gone dull by the end 00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:57.050 align:middle line:90% of November? 00:12:57.050 --> 00:13:01.600 align:middle line:84% The dullness of the lapse of location in her? 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.900 align:middle line:90% Or is it the grasses themselves? 00:13:05.900 --> 00:13:09.980 align:middle line:84% He seats himself after a ways and waits there 00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:15.290 align:middle line:84% for your return to accompany you because you have gone out 00:13:15.290 --> 00:13:17.630 align:middle line:90% of your place. 00:13:17.630 --> 00:13:20.780 align:middle line:84% The place of a low sun that illuminates 00:13:20.780 --> 00:13:27.230 align:middle line:84% a fan of experience of cholla and sage beyond and beyond. 00:13:27.230 --> 00:13:31.460 align:middle line:90% 00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:34.220 align:middle line:90% 28. 00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:39.410 align:middle line:84% It would close in on you, the mist lowers over the Wave. 00:13:39.410 --> 00:13:43.520 align:middle line:84% The cloud has come down, diffused light deepens 00:13:43.520 --> 00:13:45.720 align:middle line:90% the colors of the basin. 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.310 align:middle line:84% So now you can make out the fissure of a little river 00:13:49.310 --> 00:13:53.900 align:middle line:84% canyon cutting the plane, a rust red below mist 00:13:53.900 --> 00:13:57.050 align:middle line:90% hovering close to the ground. 00:13:57.050 --> 00:14:02.180 align:middle line:84% As if a cloth has shaken down a saturation of content, 00:14:02.180 --> 00:14:06.320 align:middle line:90% a blank saturation before you. 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.750 align:middle line:84% Now you think in the morning what 00:14:08.750 --> 00:14:13.640 align:middle line:84% the value of the saturated space means, emulsified 00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:17.705 align:middle line:84% or dropletted for now and for what has happened. 00:14:17.705 --> 00:14:21.170 align:middle line:90% 00:14:21.170 --> 00:14:22.940 align:middle line:90% 29. 00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:25.700 align:middle line:84% Where the moon is, that would speak the cycles 00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:28.640 align:middle line:90% of what she is saying. 00:14:28.640 --> 00:14:34.190 align:middle line:84% Then some days pass and she doesn't know where the moon is. 00:14:34.190 --> 00:14:37.385 align:middle line:84% Winter clouds lower onto the plain, gray and thick 00:14:37.385 --> 00:14:39.200 align:middle line:90% in the cold. 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.500 align:middle line:84% She would be thinking about the description as a means 00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:43.820 align:middle line:90% to content. 00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:48.710 align:middle line:84% But it is as if she can't see far enough now. 00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:52.100 align:middle line:84% There was one line of light on the distant part of the plain 00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:56.610 align:middle line:84% as sun broke out between clouds for a few minutes. 00:14:56.610 --> 00:14:59.480 align:middle line:90% And that would be her content. 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.660 align:middle line:84% Because of her moral or emotional stance 00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:05.480 align:middle line:90% about sunlight. 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.585 align:middle line:84% It was brief and it is what she can remember. 00:15:08.585 --> 00:15:11.895 align:middle line:90% 00:15:11.895 --> 00:15:12.395 align:middle line:90% 30. 00:15:12.395 --> 00:15:15.110 align:middle line:90% 00:15:15.110 --> 00:15:18.410 align:middle line:84% You see snow as mist on the plane. 00:15:18.410 --> 00:15:22.010 align:middle line:90% I hear snowfall on the tin roof. 00:15:22.010 --> 00:15:27.690 align:middle line:84% I think the time passes because my mood is changing. 00:15:27.690 --> 00:15:29.780 align:middle line:90% No horizon. 00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:34.490 align:middle line:84% You look and you can't see anything to remember. 00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:38.150 align:middle line:84% You feel the moisture and the warmth of the air. 00:15:38.150 --> 00:15:41.810 align:middle line:84% You feel that it is very dark now. 00:15:41.810 --> 00:15:45.650 align:middle line:84% It is impenetrable to your feeling about the right thing 00:15:45.650 --> 00:15:48.120 align:middle line:90% to do. 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.870 align:middle line:84% So what is the relationship of the horizon 00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:54.650 align:middle line:90% with the right thing to do? 00:15:54.650 --> 00:15:58.310 align:middle line:84% The horizon is the edge of the body or the edge 00:15:58.310 --> 00:16:02.780 align:middle line:84% of the eye you look out from into space of possibilities 00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:05.750 align:middle line:90% to choose from. 00:16:05.750 --> 00:16:10.070 align:middle line:84% Or space of a clarity in which to decide the color 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:13.415 align:middle line:90% blue or gray of the clarity. 00:16:13.415 --> 00:16:18.470 align:middle line:90% 00:16:18.470 --> 00:16:19.505 align:middle line:90% December 1. 00:16:19.505 --> 00:16:23.520 align:middle line:90% 00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:27.630 align:middle line:84% She is making a difference between how the land seems 00:16:27.630 --> 00:16:30.990 align:middle line:90% and how the land looks. 00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:34.080 align:middle line:84% If the land is a place and the place sites 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.500 align:middle line:84% your content or the place orients your sense 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:42.150 align:middle line:84% of value, then what is seeming about the space that 00:16:42.150 --> 00:16:47.220 align:middle line:90% also seems inside your body? 00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:52.350 align:middle line:84% Snow closes the space to you and the dark arrives earlier. 00:16:52.350 --> 00:16:55.560 align:middle line:84% You have no space to look out to in the dusk. 00:16:55.560 --> 00:17:00.900 align:middle line:84% And so it seems that you are having no words. 00:17:00.900 --> 00:17:03.930 align:middle line:84% You see woodpeckers on the snowy dirt. 00:17:03.930 --> 00:17:06.099 align:middle line:90% It is mild and snowy. 00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:08.160 align:middle line:90% It is morning. 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.200 align:middle line:84% So you think their quick movements are 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.690 align:middle line:90% something you can speak about. 00:17:12.690 --> 00:17:17.790 align:middle line:84% The red throats of the males, the volume of their down, 00:17:17.790 --> 00:17:21.960 align:middle line:84% the carnations of snow in the pine trees. 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.130 align:middle line:84% It seems a principal to be describing these things 00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:30.630 align:middle line:84% or what you are describing as if it were just to describe 00:17:30.630 --> 00:17:31.815 align:middle line:90% the beautiful place. 00:17:31.815 --> 00:17:34.620 align:middle line:90% 00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:39.120 align:middle line:84% How does seeming correlate to the fineness of your seeing? 00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:42.690 align:middle line:90% Or decrease with your seeing? 00:17:42.690 --> 00:17:45.960 align:middle line:84% What is the virtue of the description of a salmon 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.550 align:middle line:84% tamarack frond in the snow, the blue wave appearing? 00:17:50.550 --> 00:17:53.790 align:middle line:90% Meaning, the storm is passing. 00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:56.985 align:middle line:84% The movement of time in snow through space. 00:17:56.985 --> 00:18:01.520 align:middle line:90% 00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:03.680 align:middle line:90% 2. 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:09.710 align:middle line:84% Here is a star in the cold night that is alternating red, blue. 00:18:09.710 --> 00:18:15.650 align:middle line:84% It is two stars revolving around each other, cold and hot. 00:18:15.650 --> 00:18:21.200 align:middle line:84% I see it among the clear still stars of the configurations. 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.980 align:middle line:84% The dark shapes of juniper at the height of my shoulders, 00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:30.950 align:middle line:84% streaks of leftover snow showing in starlight near their bases. 00:18:30.950 --> 00:18:33.890 align:middle line:84% A woman tells me there is no value 00:18:33.890 --> 00:18:38.600 align:middle line:84% because right and wrong puts you into the past where stars are 00:18:38.600 --> 00:18:40.460 align:middle line:90% from now. 00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:43.580 align:middle line:84% She said, if you want inspiration, 00:18:43.580 --> 00:18:47.660 align:middle line:84% just stop my thought about my mother, for example. 00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:50.210 align:middle line:84% And then wait for the next thought. 00:18:50.210 --> 00:18:53.480 align:middle line:84% That inspiration comes in between, 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.540 align:middle line:90% but it does not come in words. 00:18:57.540 --> 00:19:00.320 align:middle line:90% Here is the content at night. 00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:05.330 align:middle line:84% She says, the content is subtle beauty. 00:19:05.330 --> 00:19:08.030 align:middle line:84% If she would say what the content of happiness 00:19:08.030 --> 00:19:12.560 align:middle line:84% would be in the sky or in shadowy streaks. 00:19:12.560 --> 00:19:15.680 align:middle line:84% How she could tell the relation of the starry sky 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.790 align:middle line:84% or the shadowy streaks with life. 00:19:19.790 --> 00:19:23.600 align:middle line:84% By what criteria she could relate the stars and the snow 00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:25.850 align:middle line:90% to her. 00:19:25.850 --> 00:19:28.010 align:middle line:84% By what criteria she could determine 00:19:28.010 --> 00:19:31.700 align:middle line:84% a content in their apprehension or the apprehension 00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:34.010 align:middle line:90% of subtle beauty. 00:19:34.010 --> 00:19:38.720 align:middle line:84% When the starry sky has nothing to do with life, 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.750 align:middle line:84% that its content would be an occurrence 00:19:41.750 --> 00:19:44.000 align:middle line:90% that could be otherwise. 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.930 align:middle line:90% 00:19:47.930 --> 00:19:50.630 align:middle line:90% The 3rd. 00:19:50.630 --> 00:19:53.480 align:middle line:84% Now I want my memory to wash over. 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.300 align:middle line:84% And so my memory picks aspen leaves scattered 00:19:56.300 --> 00:19:58.640 align:middle line:90% across the ground by the river. 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:03.230 align:middle line:84% The sun glints on the silvery upturned ones. 00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:05.870 align:middle line:84% They are in this place, but it is not 00:20:05.870 --> 00:20:07.940 align:middle line:84% something in this place that would 00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:12.650 align:middle line:84% be generating the direction of the observation. 00:20:12.650 --> 00:20:16.130 align:middle line:84% There would be a layer of glinting papery leaves 00:20:16.130 --> 00:20:18.890 align:middle line:90% all ahead of you in low sun. 00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:23.090 align:middle line:84% And this layer would be forgetting. 00:20:23.090 --> 00:20:25.790 align:middle line:84% Red wands of bushes reaching into the air 00:20:25.790 --> 00:20:28.160 align:middle line:90% from the sandy river bed. 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.590 align:middle line:84% Reaching into the blue of the sky 00:20:30.590 --> 00:20:35.300 align:middle line:84% are forgetting that goes into the blue, freeing your mind 00:20:35.300 --> 00:20:39.110 align:middle line:90% of forgetting or by forgetting. 00:20:39.110 --> 00:20:43.820 align:middle line:84% The way you can free the sky with a branch reaching into it 00:20:43.820 --> 00:20:46.700 align:middle line:84% or hold the sky with this branch. 00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:50.500

00:20:59.260 align:middle line:84% pastel behind the gray cottonwoods, 00:20:59.260 --> 00:21:03.880 align:middle line:84% like mist at the edge of a red riverbed. 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.780 align:middle line:90% The trees created cold for me. 00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:12.700 align:middle line:84% Is that representing the cold or symbolizing the cold waning 00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.590 align:middle line:90% day? 00:21:14.590 --> 00:21:16.960 align:middle line:84% The trees in the distance across the dry 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:23.260 align:middle line:84% riverbed where I walk, the rocks like a film passing. 00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:28.510 align:middle line:84% The character of a rock that was some molten flow onto sandstone 00:21:28.510 --> 00:21:32.350 align:middle line:84% of black and red and gray, like the cold space 00:21:32.350 --> 00:21:34.720 align:middle line:90% behind the cottonwoods. 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.440 align:middle line:84% But in matter recreates or

analysis. 00:22:40.490 --> 00:22:42.650 align:middle line:84% An analysis of the progression south 00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:46.380 align:middle line:84% of the moon, which should yield a meaning of what

00:23:02.010 --> 00:23:03.870 align:middle line:84% If she were thinking about the content 00:23:03.870 --> 00:23:06.990 align:middle line:84% of a view and its relation to life, 00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:10.770 align:middle line:84% this would have to be a synthesis. 00:23:10.770 --> 00:23:15.510 align:middle line:84% The content of a view relates to life synthetically. 00:23:15.510 --> 00:23:17.760 align:middle line:84% The relation to life is perceived 00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:20.580 align:middle line:84% through the perceptual dimension of what 00:23:20.580 --> 00:23:22.500

line:84% of a view and the view's relation to life in a new way, 00:23:43.870 --> 00:23:47.350 align:middle line:90% she cannot think. 00:23:47.350 --> 00:23:52.990 align:middle line:84% The view is the content and the life is the time still. 00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:55.480 align:middle line:84% The view is your movement through millions 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:58.480 align:middle line:84% of parallel lines of falling snow, 00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.420 align:middle line:84% seemingly disconnected traces of paths 00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:05.560 align:middle line:84% through space across the

the content is equivalent to a mood. 00:24:21.300 --> 00:24:26.580 align:middle line:84% The content or story of the view is repeatable and depends 00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:30.990 align:middle line:90% on your orientation or mood. 00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:36.450 align:middle line:84% The changing of an orientation marks time. 00:24:36.450 --> 00:24:39.330 align:middle line:84% The depth of the content of a view 00:24:39.330 --> 00:24:42.510 align:middle line:84% depends on the degree to which your body can respond 00:24:42.510 --> 00:24:45.940 align:middle line:90% to your perception of the view. 00:24:45.940 --> 00:24:49.890 align:middle line:90% So the content is abstract. 00:24:49.890 --> 00:24:52.950 align:middle line:84% The value of content of a view depends 00:24:52.950 --> 00:24:58.770 align:middle line:84% on the degree of your response, but it is not the response. 00:24:58.770 --> 00:25:01.110 align:middle line:84% The emotion of your response dictates 00:25:01.110 --> 00:25:04.980 align:middle line:90% the value as the passion. 00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:10.050 align:middle line:84% Even driving through snow for a long time in the night, 00:25:10.050 --> 00:25:12.960 align:middle line:84% the view lengthens across the time through which 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.180 align:middle line:90% you are traveling. 00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:19.650 align:middle line:84% A tunnel view of your response of moving through it 00:25:19.650 --> 00:25:20.535 align:middle line:90% through the night. 00:25:20.535 --> 00:25:24.035 align:middle line:90% 00:25:24.035 -->

align:middle line:84% It is the darkest month of the year. 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.390 align:middle line:90% The landmark turns in on itself. 00:25:37.390 --> 00:25:43.540 align:middle line:84% Your daughter sees the moon for the first time, a half moon. 00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:47.050 align:middle line:84% The luminosity of the grasses is of a yellow gray 00:25:47.050 --> 00:25:49.720 align:middle line:90% of the winter light. 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.090 align:middle line:84% This year's new growth of the area 00:25:52.090 --> 00:25:54.520 align:middle line:84% glows yellow on the gray spindles. 00:25:54.520 --> 00:25:57.130 align:middle line:90% 00:25:57.130 --> 00:26:00.980 align:middle line:84% The story of a daughter and the moon, for example, 00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:04.300 align:middle line:84% appears submerged by your intention 00:26:04.300 --> 00:26:11.380 align:middle line:84% or in a multiplicity of detail or in smoothness of detail. 00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:14.920 align:middle line:84% The story seems submerged, but it emerges 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.601 align:middle line:90% like cottonwoods in the arroyo. 00:26:18.601 --> 00:26:22.990 align:middle line:84% All their massed yellow leaves lined the turning arroyos, 00:26:22.990 --> 00:26:26.910 align:middle line:90% half concealed like fringe. 00:26:26.910 --> 00:26:33.040 align:middle line:84% All summer, green indication of underground water in a drought. 00:26:33.040 --> 00:26:35.170 align:middle line:90% The ground is bare. 00:26:35.170 --> 00:26:38.770 align:middle line:90% The half trees betray wealth. 00:26:38.770 --> 00:26:43.480 align:middle line:84% The gray turned inside foliage with sky in it, 00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:48.760 align:middle line:84% tonight catches the moon with their way of the way eyes 00:26:48.760 --> 00:26:49.570 align:middle line:90% catch it. 00:26:49.570 --> 00:26:52.860 align:middle line:90% 00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:53.360 align:middle line:90% 8. 00:26:53.360 --> 00:26:56.000 align:middle line:90% 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.660 align:middle line:84% If I look at the land, it is in shadow. 00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:03.050 align:middle line:84% But I can clearly see the sun through brushy juniper 00:27:03.050 --> 00:27:06.320 align:middle line:90% that is making the shadow. 00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:12.260 align:middle line:84% It looks like a shadow, but it must not be a deep shadow. 00:27:12.260 --> 00:27:15.080 align:middle line:84% The mountains on the other side of the hogback 00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:20.600 align:middle line:84% were rows of the close ones and lavender just beyond. 00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:23.570 align:middle line:84% The Wave, which has turned further into itself, 00:27:23.570 --> 00:27:28.430 align:middle line:84% is growing complicated, aging in the dark. 00:27:28.430 --> 00:27:32.705 align:middle line:84% Land seems bunched up at its base like loose old skin. 00:27:32.705 --> 00:27:35.300 align:middle line:90% 00:27:35.300 --> 00:27:40.970 align:middle line:84% You have a content of a view and you have a content of life. 00:27:40.970 --> 00:27:44.180 align:middle line:90% And these relate to the body. 00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:48.920 align:middle line:84% Or does this seem so because of my daughter's birth? 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.530 align:middle line:84% Snow clouds low to distant mountains, 00:27:51.530 --> 00:27:54.800 align:middle line:84% thick and dark and gray in the morning, 00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:58.190 align:middle line:84% are a gesture of a hand flung upward, wispy pink 00:27:58.190 --> 00:28:01.040 align:middle line:90% streamers in the evening. 00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:03.410 align:middle line:90% Was that my body? 00:28:03.410 --> 00:28:07.280 align:middle line:84% The dark husks of yucca pods after sunset 00:28:07.280 --> 00:28:13.265 align:middle line:84% of a color of the density of the body as the origin of words. 00:28:13.265 --> 00:28:16.900 align:middle line:90% 00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:19.060 align:middle line:90% 9. 00:28:19.060 --> 00:28:21.640 align:middle line:84% Dozens of varieties of dry grasses, 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.450 align:middle line:84% she's empty but still catching the light. 00:28:25.450 --> 00:28:29.920 align:middle line:84% Stalks seem more luminous yellow than electric, a color that 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.640 align:middle line:84% retains its luminosity when placed next 00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:35.770 align:middle line:90% to the skin of your hand. 00:28:35.770 --> 00:28:39.730 align:middle line:84% While colors of electric light and sunset synthetic colors 00:28:39.730 --> 00:28:43.120 align:middle line:90% lose their beauty. 00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:46.600 align:middle line:84% So you would think beauty pertains to light. 00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:51.370 align:middle line:84% But beauty is an idea or a feeling that associates 00:28:51.370 --> 00:28:53.365 align:middle line:90% from light to the mind. 00:28:53.365 --> 00:28:58.320 align:middle line:90% 00:28:58.320 --> 00:28:58.820 align:middle line:90% 10. 00:28:58.820 --> 00:29:01.530 align:middle line:90% 00:29:01.530 --> 00:29:04.740 align:middle line:84% Now the impetus of a place can diminish 00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:08.820 align:middle line:84% or the impetus in the time of your place in it. 00:29:08.820 --> 00:29:12.270 align:middle line:84% She sees the gold halo left by the sun, 00:29:12.270 --> 00:29:15.480 align:middle line:90% although she missed the sun. 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.200 align:middle line:84% She feels the tiredness that would be like her extension 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:25.470 align:middle line:84% into the illusion of the fourth dimension or third dimension. 00:29:25.470 --> 00:29:31.060 align:middle line:84% And this gold is a frame darker and colder. 00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:35.840 align:middle line:84% The colors are darker of branches and snow. 00:29:35.840 --> 00:29:40.010 align:middle line:90% Why is the feeling changing? 00:29:40.010 --> 00:29:44.090 align:middle line:84% You feel that the place is still oriented or located correctly 00:29:44.090 --> 00:29:47.420 align:middle line:84% in the mathematics of the stars and lines of force 00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:49.040 align:middle line:90% of the world. 00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:52.160 align:middle line:90% But you are not oriented. 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.970 align:middle line:84% Your feeling makes you out of place. 00:29:55.970 --> 00:30:00.680 align:middle line:84% Your feeling makes the place darken and turn in on you, 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.680 align:middle line:90% which it does not do. 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.130 align:middle line:84% It still extends a line into space for the rabbit 00:30:07.130 --> 00:30:10.430 align:middle line:90% to race escaping. 00:30:10.430 --> 00:30:14.540 align:middle line:84% It still sends a line of a glance across the horizon 00:30:14.540 --> 00:30:18.920 align:middle line:84% into infinity or vertically levitates a glance 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:20.780 align:middle line:90% to it at night." 00:30:20.780 --> 00:30:24.500 align:middle line:90% 00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:28.580 align:middle line:84% 12, I don't like any more, so this is the last one. 00:30:28.580 --> 00:30:32.165 align:middle line:90% 00:30:32.165 --> 00:30:33.510 align:middle line:90% "13. 00:30:33.510 --> 00:30:36.810 align:middle line:90% She thought she could say that. 00:30:36.810 --> 00:30:39.630 align:middle line:84% Then she walked up the hill and waited for the moon 00:30:39.630 --> 00:30:43.360 align:middle line:90% to rise after sunset. 00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:47.130 align:middle line:90% The sky darkened, stars showed. 00:30:47.130 --> 00:30:49.305 align:middle line:84% Venus is bright with reflected light. 00:30:49.305 --> 00:30:51.880 align:middle line:90% 00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:57.250 align:middle line:84% When I see some light near the horizon, a breath of light, 00:30:57.250 --> 00:31:01.720 align:middle line:84% I realized there's a low cloud and the beginning of the moon 00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:05.290 align:middle line:90% cannot be discerned. 00:31:05.290 --> 00:31:09.220 align:middle line:84% Then it is a cold mist light in the cloud. 00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:12.160 align:middle line:84% And I'm trying to see where the cloud ends 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:17.440 align:middle line:84% and the sky will yield a sharp outline of the moon. 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.840 align:middle line:84% And I'm trying to tell how far the moon has 00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:22.570 align:middle line:90% risen behind the cloud already. 00:31:22.570 --> 00:31:29.020 align:middle line:84% And I think I can make out a huge circle of

--> 00:31:36.910 align:middle line:84% There is a triangle of foggy light 00:31:36.910 --> 00:31:40.750 align:middle line:90% along the ground to my left. 00:31:40.750 --> 00:31:46.900 align:middle line:84% When the moon clears, it is small and compact and metallic. 00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:51.610 align:middle line:84% He says, you can tell it is one day pass full because it 00:31:51.610 -->
