before the beginning

Posted on January 1, 2022January 8, 2023 by bob

Beginnings of things are not always evident when we look only at the thing about which we have uncertainty, a query or an inclination to explain or somehow make clear. Quite often in human affairs, our attempts to account for and explain a current state, takes into account a limited version of the entity, skipping…

torn birth

Posted on December 21, 2021January 8, 2023 by bob

Finding the beginning of things is often very simple. Human beings are born and grow up, live their lives, and die. Normally we think that the beginning of a human being is their birth. For sure, right?Really, wherein lies its truth? Maybe, instead, its beginning is what is usually called conception. That somehow feels more…

creative drift: on being natural

Posted on December 3, 2021October 17, 2022 by bob

(meandering from a to b, and so on…) This post is longish and wanders—not without purpose. Forewarned is forearmed! My queries in this post are about neither the deeper evolution of human beings—their coming into existence at all— nor about the astonishing array of all the living entities within the envelope of the inanimate, dynamic…

Creative drift: feeling and aesthetics

Posted on October 21, 2021October 17, 2022 by bob

Aesthetics is about feeling. Touch is about feeling. Love is about feeling. Dread… I am saying this because in this post I want to express some thoughts and notions about the word aesthetics and some of its threads in social, community and conceptual realms of human life. These threads will not always form a stable…

mist and drift: thinking, talking, moving

Posted on September 24, 2021October 17, 2022 by bob

Language talking about language and thought thinking about thought: whew, and here I thought I knew something!Current language use and the interconnectedness of today’s words with their deep and mythic, interwoven history, are a very rich ground for the complexity of the meanings and the functions of the words we use.Simultaneously, they  tacitly engage (some…

and to begin…

Posted on September 8, 2021April 24, 2023 by bob

As with many things natural, this blog’s coming to be arose within me from an inner push, an impulse embedded in the setting of a co-nesting world—my lived life: understood, intimately felt and often reflected upon, yet frequently just beyond my deeper comprehension. I want to share my reflections and my many uneasy question with…

who is doing what/ what is who?

Posted on September 4, 2021October 17, 2022 by bob

“However, no one has hitherto laid down the limits to the powers of the body, that is, no one has as yet been taught by experience (emphasis mine) what the body can accomplish solely by the laws of nature, in so far as she is regarded as extension. No one hitherto has gained such an…

creative drift : advent/transition

Posted on September 3, 2021September 8, 2021 by bob

When I think of the notion of creative drift, I imagine several broad, orienting categories of ideas, directional impressions, cohering undercurrent flow patterns and the like. Although my intentional interests in this blog will naturally slant perspective toward the subjects of my posts and pages, I do habitually keep in sight, my big picture grasp…

Another view on “what”:

Posted on September 2, 2021July 20, 2022 by bob

Process and Product: Imagine a potter gracefully caressing clay as it spins on the potter’s wheel. Just off to one side of the potter are the many balls of clay about to fall beneath the fascinating spell of those masterful hands. The clay passes through a lengthy working process which begins with the round moist…
