--PENCIL ON PAPER--

AN INQUIRY INTO THE MARK MAKING IMPULSE,
TRACING ITS SOURCE
TO THE ORIGIN OF ALL THINGS
FROM THE PREMORDIAL CAVES TO LIFE TODAY
FROM THE INTERNAL TO THE ETERNAL

---

REPETITION -> ANTICIPATION -> VARIATION -> DISSONANCE -> 

EXPANSION -> CLARITY -> ACTUALITY -> PRESENCE -> 

HARMONY -> UNITY -> ABSORPTION -> MYSTERY

---

EACH MOMENT IS THE BEGINNING ARRANGED.

TO DRAW A THING IS TO DRAW THE UNIVERSE, 

THE COMMON ORIGIN, TRANSFORMED.

CHANGE IS REVELATION. 

NOTHING NEW. MORE OF WHAT ALREADY IS, REVEALED.

A PROCESS OF DISCOVERY. NOT DECISION.

REPETITION CREATES ANTICIPATION. 

ANTICIPATION EXAGGERATES VARIATION.

DISSONANCE REVEALS THE REALM BEYOND KEY. 

THIS IS EXPANSION.

"NO WRONG NOTES. ONLY SOUND." 

NON-JUDGEMENT.

BEYOND GOOD OR BAD. 

BEYOND FORM. BEYOND PERCEPTION.

REALISM BEYOND APPEARANCE.

SUDDEN INSIGHT CULTIVATES CLARITY. 

ALL AS IT IS, NOT AS IT SHOULD.

TRUE HARMONY. 

HERE WE FIND THE "GATELESS GATE".

KEYLESS.

INSIGHT INTO ACTUALITY.

EQUANIMITY WITH THINGS AS THEY ARE, 

NOT AS THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE.

BEYOND HARMONY IS UNITY.

BEYOND UNITY IS ABSORPTION.

TRANSCENDENCE INTO, NOT FROM, LIFE.

WHEN THE WATER FINALLY STILLS

AND YOU GAZE UPON ITS SURFACE

UNDISTORTED

YOU SEE THAT, AFTERALL,

THE REALITY YOU SEEK

IS THAT IN WHICH YOU HAVE

ALWAYS RESIDED.

YOU WILL MEET YOURSELF THERE,

THE WORLD AND ALL THINGS,

EXACTLY AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.

HOWEVER THEY MAY BE ARRANGED.

"GOING ABOUT LIFE,

GLEANING WHAT I MAY,

A DRAWING EMERGES.

A LITTLE GLEANED THING."
