Experience, create, avoid

"How to", feelings

Experience, create, avoid

Experience
A feeling
Absorb thyselves
Become the feeling
Don't think
Don't ask questions
No trying too hard
No reliving the past
No inherent purpose
But sense;

Words are useless,
Words are a burden
When you feel.
Flow with it.
Live.

Create
A feeling
Invent
From your dreams materials
From the void
From imagination

Make art
With the hands of your heart
Mix;
Shake;
Taste;
Sense;

And then say:
"100% pure feeling! Original! Go buy some!"
And everyone will line up to experience
Thy newly-made feeling
No one has experienced before.

Avoid
A feeling

Run... and keep running.
Hide... and keep hiding. Deny... and keep denying.
Sink down... and keep sinking.

Don't overdo it, though. The most
beautiful
amount of avoiding is none
But that's too idealistic at times;

Avoid
Avoid
Avoid
And keep avoiding

Until thy head and thy heart
Are numb.
