Swallows & Nothingness

 Life is motion.

Wallace Stevens




Imagine that, having to fly 200 miles a day covering some 5000 miles and you've only just been born. This is why these little guys inhabit nothingness: because of this migratory habit and their sacred right of migration. The animal and the land is one just as the animal and the land and nothingness is one. Man is split (and 'legion') because he no longer inhabits Nature (and the sacred), but is carried by his infantile consciousness which then de-structures and destroys him. This destructuring removes him from nothingness. And it is here, with this retarded removal - this miscarriage of Being - that all of man's problems begin.
