All-organic weirdness

Author: A metaphysical entity (Page 2 of 38)

Weekly state: soft.

As fate drags me further along the roadhouse of life, I sit strapped in my seat, trying to sip my beer.

Wondrous ways have led me to believe that every new day is unique. Still I wonder, is it really? There is an infinite amount of choices, that is a given. But where do I draw the line of newness and obscene mundanity?

The circle keeps haunting me and I am strapped to the passenger seat. Is there anything I can do?

I reach another round, another trip. The earth makes its trips and we call it a day. How do I call my round, given that I even notice I made a full circle? I keep looking back and I have to tell you, the past is close than you think!

Yet here I am, all cushiony and soft. Strapped in for all of the entertainment to behold. Trying to look forward but someone forgot to activate the windshield wipers.

In the end I blast through the universe, 1600 kilometres per hour. How am I even supposed to catch a glimpse?

Get ready with me, to start a new circle (or continue and old one?). I’ll be here, with you. Happy to see what’s coming.

Wanna hold my hand?

Weekly state: wet.

I am friends with the coaster and all things capable of soaking.

Walking the streets with the confidence of having lived a thousand lives, I burst compassion. Knowing where you have been, that situations are temporary but change is eternal. I swoop over your table, take up all the conversations, the bits of beer that were spilled while you ecstatically retold a story.

I soaked it up, wet with the beer and the story.

Taking and giving back, I am merely a catalysts for your enthusiasm. I clean up after messy bits, don’t you worry. You wonder what I am to you? I do wonder that sometimes myself.

I am the sponge, I travel the world, full of cavities and holes, ready to soak up experiences, stories, sadness and happy bits.

I am big and yellow, why don’t you squeeze me?

Let’s see what comes out.

Weekly state: rematerialised.

Did you get all of the messages I almost sent you?

While technology involuntarily closed down my shop, I was whimpering and wallowing throughout. I wished to be close again, to be one, all connected with you. Yet I strayed.

I was wondering what my big wish was at the time of being isolated, without a channel in which to utter weird wisdom to. What’s your biggest wish?

There’s no need to confess anything, don’t worry. Your desires are safe and sound in the confines of your mind. They only come out when it is dark and you are trying to slumber.

I oftentimes wish for things, larger and smaller. Things I can’t change and things I can. I wish for people to be different only to find out that indeed, some just won’t change. I wish for egoistic things, I wish to become a philanthropist. I wish for this weekly state to make sense, does it?

While dear old Papa was somewhere lost in between the lines of code, even less physical than the usual metaphysical form, I was listening to you. I tried, truly. But from a distance all I can do is lip-read. What does a stiff upper lip mean? I see you all hanging on despite wishing for change. Respect.

What’s my final wish for this week, the end of it, the Sunday, the moment you read my words right now? I wish for just a moment that you and me can be wishless. Just for a moment, free of being pulled.

The ultimate weapon to longing, to desire. A state of nothingness, close to the empty space of Nirvana. And if you feel like it, just think about one thing you are grateful for.

I am grateful to be back, in my stall. Rematerialised and in this second, without another wish.

Om.

Invitation.

Alone I stand, covered in BBQ sauce, eating a pickle.

The guests at the party are of distinguished nature, some would even say the are academics and intelligentsia of some sorts. The people that can name the composer of a piece of classical music and accurately pronounce ingredients in various Western European languages. The sort in whose vocabulary the word toilet does not exist.

Yet I am here, all raggedy among them. Nobody noticed yet that I don’t hold my wineglass at the stem but fully fondle its voluptuous shape. For I am drinking faster than my hands can bring it to room temperature. Alongside the ramblings about Kants categorical imperative, I am invisible.

I stray like a cat, light on my feet, with squinting eyes, trying to make sense of it all. Who has lead me into this treacherous place, the world of competing egos and phrases that are uttered, neither understood by the author nor by the recipient? I mumble along, I am nothing but a pantomime in their play. Watch me grab my invisible rope as I swing from group to group! I am Tarzan and my glass of vino is Jane.

I found my way to the catering, a table of delicacies whose names I have never read before. Pigs in a blanket sounds fun, so I grab the piglets from the silver tray. The intelligentsia doesn’t eat, it nibbles. Thought is the real food, wine the appetiser, main course and dessert.

My piglets are mad, they pay me back by separating them from their herd on the silver plate by spraying sauce from their doughy blanket. Fair enough, I think to myself as I let them run free. Shoo, back to your comrades, go and be cosy!

What’s left is the pickle on the skewer. Sharp aromas of vinegar battle the acidity of fermented grapes. Another firework in my oral cavity.

Despite the abundance, find myself wondering. Why am I here? Who are these people?

Kant whispers into my ear: Sapere aude!

That’s right Immanuel, this is actually the wrong house!

Weekly state: 404.

A digital barrier to my food stall, sabotage?

While all good forces are employed to fix the alley to my delicious dishes, I am patiently roaming the sky.

I am in between worlds, somewhere at 30,000 feet. Big metal tubes full of people are passing me by.


Glorious moment since writing these few lines in utter despair to be separated from you, my dear reader. Further, I was disconnected from my food stall, the things that gives reason to so many outbursts and in the end, gives reason to my existence.

But don’t you worry. I am working on the analog menu, something to behold. For you, to hold in your hand. Fondly, hopefully, to remember our time together.

I missed you.
