it is the question, isn't it, where is in, where is out and just what might be the difference? or importance - could it be about importance? are we too engrossed in barriers?this is gorgeous. xoerin
thank you, erin. do you know this most wonderful poem by Joris? you can hear it sung by Nicole Peyrafitte here:http://www.nicolepeyrafitte.com/Sound2.mp3If the light is the soul then soul is what's all around me.It is you, it is around you too, it is you.The darkness is inside me, the opaqueness of organs folded upon organs-- to make light in the house ofthe body-- thus to bring theoutside in, the impossible job. And the only place to becomethe skin the border, the inbetween, wheredark meets light, where I meets you. In the house of world the many darknesses are surrounded by light. To see the one, we need the other / it cuts both ways light on light is blind dark on dark is blind light through dark is not dark through light is movement dark through light becomes,is becoming, to move throughlight is becoming, is all we can know.

If the light is the soul
then soul is what's
all around me.
It is you,
it is around you too,
it is you.
The darkness is inside me,
the opaqueness of organs folded
upon organs--
to make light in the house of
the body--
thus to bring the
outside in,
the impossible job.
And the only place to become
the skin
the border, the inbetween, where
dark meets light, where I meets
you.
In the house of world the
many darknesses are surrounded
by light.
To see the one, we need
the other / it cuts both ways
light on light is blind
dark on dark is blind
light through dark is not
dark through light is movement
dark through light becomes,
is becoming,
to move through
light is becoming,
is all
we can know.
