#circumambulation

Growing up one of my favorite biblical stories was the battle of Jericho. The idea that an army could tare down a city's walls by marching and blasting a trumpet amazed me. And it's an idea that has some spiritual wisdom to it, as circumambulation is a common ritual practice in various folk magic traditions.

look what came in today!!

Consciously or unconsciously, all things are in motion, in ecstatic circumambulation.

However, the question remains: why are we so intent on ferreting out and destroying the void, absence and death? Why this fantasy of expelling the dark matter, making everything visible, making it real, and forcibly expressing what has no desire to be expressed, forcibly exhuming the only things which ensure the continuity of the Nothing and of the secret? Why are we so lethally tempted into transparency, identity and existence at all costs? An unanswerable question. But perhaps this tendency to be done with all secrets has itself a secret purpose?
