Little Experiments: Being the Form

Sometimes I tire of painting and so I fool around in some other medium as a way of expressing myself. Today I wrote a little, cut up one of my old paintings into a digital collage and made a small piece of art. (3x4 inches). One of my favorite things to do in these tiny experiments is to incorporate my writtings into their composition in such a way that legibility is compromised. To read this one you would need a magnifying glass but for you I will post the writing here:

Escapist forms of eschatology encourage us to live anywhere but here. But forever cannot be thought. Its source is not the mind. Our meaning may be projected, but is functionally experienced where we are. Now is what we know. Life is always lived at the center. Like something that is that has always been, faithfullness has the from of presence. And unlike our fleeing we were made to be present. Not because there is nothing beyond ourselves in this moment of space and time. But because by being present we transcend the limitations of life lived alone. So we should think of staying more than leaving as a matter of freedom from abndoned being.
