Cinemagical

“Everything is begging to be discovered, not accidentally, but intuitively. Seeking intuitively, one’s destination is never in a beyond of time or space but always here and now. If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored.” — Henry Miller

How tenderly fascinating

it can be

to watch oneself,

with supple compassion,

moving out through the in door,

in through the out door,

an ordered transit of follies

and conveyance,

that is decidedly congruent

with the perfectly still witness

who thoroughly enjoys the cinema-going

adventures of a life lived

and projected

through dreaming in real-time.
