Everything is wrong! I have to make it right!!!

Wait... what if everything is right, and I could only make it wrong? (or pretend to)

What if even making it wrong is right?

There has never been a wrong

Never a wrong to right

A song is a song is a song

I used to think of my life as made up of events, as single occurrences. But where draw the line? Where does 'going to the hairdresser' stop and 'making love with my girlfriend' begin? When did I stop being a child playing with Lego's and become a well-behaved tax-paying adult? When did I cease being nothing and became a conscious kicker in my mother's womb? Events suggest obstructions, tension, a holding back. These time-based definitions are merely a small portion of all definitions, which are desperate attempts to capture the flow of a river in buckets, to then one by one carry them to the sea over land; you'll probably die before you get there, plus the purpose of the river is not to get water to the sea... the purpose of a river is being a river. Everything else is a side-effect. It has no beginning or end, it has no banks, it holds no water. What, then, defines it as a river? Nothing, there is no river. Only the one I'm pretending to be there.

How silly of the squire of Jedchester to hold a ball in the court! A ball for heavens sake, it is unheard of! He might as well drag some swine in there for good measure! Oh... oh, he was merely talking about a game of tennis? Ah, that explains a lot my dear. Pass me the sugar please, thank you dear. Ehm.

I guess I should have said ''ball's'' instead of ''balls''. Oh well...what the hell.

Nah, didn't even notice, I just get bored with this truth stuff every once in a while and thought I'd interject some good ol' dramatic Victorian literature, just because.

Way to go with the theme Jed, geez

Getting back to the point:

Truth is right there all the time, done.

Take it further. You might find there is no there and the closest you can get is ''Truth is''... or just ''Truth'' or even ''T''.

Words corrupt direct experience. So, I'll shut up for now.

Love ya, Jed.

Truth is now/never, truth is here/nowhere.
It is paradoxes all the way down/up it seems.

How can one grasp the ungraspable, think the unthinkable?
Only when there is no one to do the grasping or thinking?

Direct experience of what? Where do words stop and the world begin?
Where does nothing stop and something begin?

I am, am I? Am I I am? I I am am? Am am I I? Words are just silly glass shards of meaning. Meaning is transparent; nothing to see through to nowhere by no one.

Thinking is just thinking; it can only ever be self-referential. It is a snow globe on my desk among many; nice to look at, but claustrophobic to live in. All I ever do is shake the snow globe and pretend I'm in winter wonderland..
