Replying to LO31180 --
dear Rick,
Thank you!
The simple ;-) wisdom i receive from 'systems thinkers' is that one
cannot 'change a system' (per se), one can only 'disturb the system'.
For Ralph Stacey, who i understand studies these thing closely - when
any system (say a 'complex adaptive system';-) requires innovative and
creative alternatives one might 'disturb the system' so as to increase
its prevailing uncertainty and disagreement so nudging the system to
the edge of chaos. One could call this the poet Appolinaire's 'flying
lesson' - but we won't.
“ Writing a poem is a process by which the world is changed, so that
somebody by joining to this changed part of the world (the text) can
have an experience, get reorganized. For a poet the use of a poem by
the reader is always a mystery.”
Timo Järvilehto (Professor of Psychology, Department of Behavioural
Sciences, University of Oulu, Finland)
If we understand the fuller term of poetry as 'flying with' ...
'poesis' and poiesis' and 'poemagogic' ...we can see 'imagery' and its
titles as sorts of poems.
A careful study of the larger of the two images on page three of this
new file-document will reveal a figure, somewhat ethereal ;-), like an
angel hovering in his matrix, his garden, among his arrows of intent
and time, Time and TIME - set in his fieldedness there he stands,
looking out at you and me looking at him. How long he's been waiting
God only knows. From what set of relations he
ARose..samewise...(((What do you do all day? I look at Him and He
looks at me.)))

8:4 When Dzvngdz fell ill, Mvng inquired of him. Dzvngdz said, When a bird is
about to die, its song is sad; when a man is about to die, his words are
good. What the gentleman prizes in the Way are three things. From the movements of
his demeanour, he bans cruelty and arrogance. To the expressions of his
countenance, he summons fidelity. From the words he utters, he bans courseness and
vulgarity. As to the ordering of splintbox and stand, there are specialists
available. ;-) [Added to LY8] c0292.
