they are, and they aren't...
nothing is ever simply text, i'm thinking this morning////


i think mez was making a very important distinction in this
exchange///
because i thought of my work as text, it was text....
she was seeing her work in terms of flow////

it's an old zen master trick///
a zenist holds up an object, say, a book of matches, and asks her
student, :"what is this///"
student says///"matches!"""
master throws matches at student: "'matches' is a sound...what are
these?"

brilliant, really///wish i'd had the clarity last night to see this///

bliss
