Beyond BEINGIS

Reflections while Being

The book is the map. These are field notes from walking the ground while still on the trail.

Short pieces, dated, newest first. More will be added as they arrive.

Rendering

We are all film makers. Even though we may watch a movie, hear a story narrated, a song sung, or a musical performed, it never stops there. Whether it is a single viewer or a multitude of listeners and watchers, the rendering and re-rendering continues and the stories play on. Some scenes play as repeats and some as never before seen versions of the original production. Once an idea has been animated and released, no one has any control over how its rendering will continue, evolve, or when it will stop being rendered. But the time and space that it filled are coordinates that will live on forever.

Zoomed Out

When you zoom out the view is so often seeing consciousness seeking consciousness. The little old woman struggling to walk alone as she makes her way to church on a Sunday morning. The kids all gather on the ball field seeking their reflection like a constellation of lights they take their place on the field. And there is the consciousness observing from the bleachers and the stands and captured in the cameras. I think we experience the greatest peace zoomed out and it is zoomed out that wonder breathes.

More to come

Tim adds a reflection when one arrives. If these made you curious about the book behind them, T can tell you where to begin.
