All These Particles

[mnaz]

All these particles I hear about,
the particles of particles of particles
down to a God one giving them mass.
If I believe in them what are words?
Where would this leave the Void?

[stilltrucking]

It beats me
I read Wittgenstein's 'Blue Book' for a couple of years till it was stolen. The person that stole it probably took mercy on me.

it beats me like —
what are these photons striking my eyes as I see these words appear the result of my fingers spastic-ally striking the keys?

a new kind of light I read today hybrid of photon and atom.
I had two for lunch, yum yum.

another of your fine poems I tag with my babbling ramble

[mnaz]

No such thing as an "empty field" I guess. Space-time-mass-gravity. Beats me... Everything just seems to be curving into itself ..

[stilltrucking]

empty field
first time I have heard the term,
quick search was interesting aside from the science which was all Greek to me.

apparently you can cultivate it
Cultivating the Empty Field: The Silent Illumination of Zen Master Hongzhi Paperback –
also:
I hate it when I get Empty field myopia

but nothing to do with what you are talking about.

[mnaz]

I mean empty space I guess. Does it exist?..

[stilltrucking]

Between my ears is the only empty space I know. Other than that I don't know but I don't think so. we are prisoners of our anatomy.

[WIREMAN]

..........my memory for instance

[stilltrucking]

Existence is a matter of belief, if I believe it exists, even if I can not know if it exists, then I believe in empty space. I am an American, and Americans can believe anything.

"The American experiment has metastasized out of control. Being American now means we can believe anything we want"

.

sometimes I think about Clay when I am writing and I resist the urge to use emoticons. He hardly ever did use them. He wrote so well he did not need them to make his meaning clear.
I guess I am joking, but I mean it too. whatever emoticon should I use for that

[WIREMAN]

It's less misunderstood to add a literal smile, and kinda Beat when use this one

[still.trucking]

mingo once had a thread he called the"all google"

so I google existence is a matter of belief

and I get this:

Cartesian certainty.

10-4 on
yes very cool,
mr:mnaz like mr:mtmynd, and you
heavy hitters for me on studio eight

[mtmynd]

we are prisoners of our anatomy.

Indeed. And our anatomy is prisoner of gravity as i Life as we know it.

The only we can escape is thru some level of meditation or imagination.

[mtmynd]

I mean empty space I guess. Does it exist?..

Empty space is the largest space of all which easily contains all matter, from what our senses perceive all the way to any and all molecularity beyond our simple perceptions. Empty space (or No Thing) is both life's origin and life's destination... both womb and grave... No Thing is beyond the beyond and before the before.

[mnaz]

I'm just wondering what particle physics makes of it. I already know how my old church thought of space... God is "omnipresent" throughout. Hmm...

[creativesoul]

I’m going to fall through a hole in the flag
The country is between my rock and a hard place
Hendrix
Ginsberg
Kerouac
Pleading with the ghosts
A time when we knew what you meant

[creativesoul]

I knew what they had in mind
Breakfast with coffee
On the road
Where new faces seemed inviting
The hallways of time
Held smiles and waves
Wind blew harder
Palm trees sway
