Read between the lines

Ok, this ridiculously reminds me of my days at Uni, studying under Gerald with the unpronounceable last dutch last name, Nyenhuis? Any way, this idea of reading between the lines reminds me of a lesson in which he was explaining some Ingarden theory of completion, or how we individually add that which we cannot fully see, he would lift his hand with a book in it, "look at this book" he would say, "everything is about this book, but con really, you are so focused on it you are not fully conscious of all the things around it and how they move and interact." That means, there is no center in any Universe, even a book. So when you read something, more so if it is poetry, do not try to reach for an author that once sat down to write those words, better off if you reach deep within your soul and start filling the gaps of this essential human form of "Kinuskuroi" (if you've never heardof this Japanese art/philosophy, go Google it!) xoxo
