CONTROL & ILLUSION

The urge to control BEGINS with the

illusion of separateness and independence;

it ENDS with contradiction and collapse.








from 100 MINIATURES . . .


(84) In Praise of the Economy of Buds?
Store up the light and quick energy
needed for next Spring during the slow
and easy months of high Summer;

Prepare for the worst of Winter by making
oneself small and motionless against the twig;

Forget about absolute size and rigid sequence,
knowing that beauty resides in the measured,
rhythmic unfolding of the well-proportioned
web.
