the poetry of madness

tension

We can't exist in a state of constant tension.

Waves.

Expression within tension.

White space oscillations.

I have a tendency to confuse concept with action.  Once an idea is conceptualized, execution typically requires reduced creativity. 

However, the devil is in the details.

Adaptations are growth.  Growing is living.  Thou art God.

God created humanity because God loves stories.  So the story goes, anyway.  Praise be the Lord.

I have been reading the Gnostic Gospels and other ancient documents.  Fascinating bits of history, they is.  It is said the Gospel of Thomas - Christ aphorisms - predates the canonical gospels.  Jesus spake with Buddha on his tongue.  I don't know why the Nicenes didn't include the document in the canon.  Every answer creates dozens of questions.  There is always plenty to learn.

I decided to learn something about Islam and have been making my way through an overview.  Once more, answers beget questions.

I have been deep in thought.  Speaking with the Buddha, as they say.  I have come to understand many things.  answers beget questions

the struggle continues unabated as always

same as it ever was

God laughs at people like us

It is true, that answers always beget questions. And so it is, the more you actually tell the more questions I have for you. Why the desire to learn something about Islam?

A few bits on the crusades made me aware of the woeful deficiency of my understanding - as with the old church, I have had significant literary exposure to the general idea of being a Muslim, but nothing that dug into the details of the history, theology, rituals and society.

As I develop my own ideas about the Universe, I find it fascinating to search the writings for ideas that agreed with mine. There's something comforting in discovering that someone arrived at the same conclusion, even on a minor point.
