That dust of the whirlwind will cough or spurt, we will think we heard a voice from the dust, and off we go onto another spiritual quest. The dust in our lungs makes us aware that we have a share in the divine, as our raspy voices sound so much like the congested spewing of the god. Old dusty tomes and dustier phrases will inevitably collect around this new whirlwind as they collected around the old. Piles and piles of dust, human history and longing and trial and error as so much dust.
A human being-question chasing after both God and nothingness. The internet is a disaster, but our starlessness might teach us something. I welcome our constant experimenting with ourselves with open arms, for ultimately they are attempts of life at living and growing in life. My dwelling is in Key West, while the dwellings of my loves are Indiana, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts and Arizona. These spaces are nothing. Love abides and love embraces.
