Dass wir so wenig Zündstoff, so mangelhaften Antrieb und metergrosse Meilensteine im Anhänger geladen hatten, wussten wir nicht einmal. Als hätten wir Zeltstoff gegessen letzte Nacht und im Wohnwagen fast vermooste Käferlarven gesehen, so hell und freundlich begannen der neue Morgen und sein Tau. Kein anderer Magen in der Umgebung hatte härtere Erbsen als unserer. Dieser Tag, der einfach nur stofflich war.

“There is a possibility in reading and writing, which knows words as in the world as much the same way that men are …” (Robert Creeley*)

How will the word “India”, how will the word “compass” perform in this blog on Art, Sex and Mathematics?

A blog which sets words like “India” and “compass” into a field of force generated by others words like “art”, “sex” and “mathematics.” The word “compass” gets another dimensions when reading Thich Nhat Hanh. The instrument becomes something that connects a mathematical and a emotional approach to the world. A world which philosophers like Kant and Descartes regard as an object, as something which is objecting the inner self, which is a barrier to the self, a barrier which the self hardly overcomes, but tries to overcome.

The compass is an instrument which indicates a way of dealing with this specific western problem. The word “India” invites to understand oneself as a needle. A needle which is displaying the tensional field of sensual experiences. The needle follows the movements of the field created by colors, vehicles and gentle speaking women, who prepare with dignity the soil for growing seeds.

The needle is not nothing. The needle needs to be set up carefully. It requires attention in order to perceive the connections of the needle with the field of experiences the word “India” and the many worlds it contains.

“not to fathom time but literally to sound” (Zukofsky)

Time, may I sound, fathom time, sound it, her or him?

Is there any itting himming or herring of time?

Time,

A herstrument, a himstrument and itstrument.

An itstrument, a true mentherhimment.

A means for becoming something,

For becoming it.

It: something freed from any me elements,

Freed towards becoming a mere non-me thing, an it.

A mediament,

Compassing the medium between her, him, me and non-me.

A commediament

A compassional medium,

An itstrument.

Becoming it by the time,

The itstrument, the herstrument, the himstrument,

Him-, her-, it-true-mentalizes me

Making something out of me

By itting, herring, himming me with time,

The in strument of time, the truement of inning by time,

Inning in order to out me of elements of me.

Wir haben unsere alten Wohnwagen in den Wald gefahren, weil wir schlecht Ostern rufen, Ostern aus dem All herausstigmatisieren wollten, wo nur faule Matratzen darin sich stapeln, hängen wie Stangenbohnen. Ach, wenn wir den Leistenbruch im Wohnwagenwald nur heilen könnten, wäre froher Sinn an unserer schmalen Hand.

However, in the 1960s, Dr. Nambu, who was born in Tokyo in 1921, suggested that some symmetries in the laws of nature might be hidden or “broken” in actual practice.
A pencil standing on its end, for example, is symmetrical but unstable and will wind up on the table pointing in only one direction or the other. The principle is now embedded in all of modern particle physics.
“You have to look for symmetries even when you can’t see them,” explained Michael Turner of the University of Chicago, who described his colleague as “the most humble man of all time.”
In 1972, Dr. Kobayashi and Dr. Maskawa, extending earlier work by the Italian physicist Nicola Cabibbo, showed that if there were three generations of the elementary particles called quarks, the constituents of protons and neutrons, this principle of symmetry breaking would explain a puzzling asymmetry known as CP violation. This was discovered in 1964 by the American physicists James Cronin and Val Fitch – a discovery that also won a Nobel prize.
C and P stand respectively for charge and parity, or “handedness.” Until then, physicists had naively assumed that if you exchanged positive for negative and left-handed and right-handed in the equations of elementary particles, you would get the same answer.
The fact that nature operates otherwise, physicists hope, is a step on the way to explaining why the universe is made of matter and not antimatter, one of the questions that the Large Hadron Collider, the new particle accelerator now preparing for operation, is designed to explore.

The middle, the state of Zeroness has to do with extremes.
Mediality is a response to extremes. It can be found via connection, a connection between extremes. Connection is a construction.
A construction fueld by compassion.
I wonder wether the compass has something in common with compassion,
with compassion that Journalists should have with others,
with terrorists for example, as Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh argues in Indian Newspapers “Times of India”.
