In addition to playing with with metaphysics (and phenomenology), I'd like to ask more suggestive, even poetic questions.  "Poetic" means they stir things up, maybe open imagination and possibilities, rather than doing the opposite. (snip)

Many things to consider for homework but this chose me. :)

I shared a little sieve story about containment and space and 'stuff' which has become a bit of a visualization due to my feeling 'inconvenienced' by a few situations and people and knowing that it isn't about those people but my own proportions... the way 'I' am relating to 'them' as 'other'. And also relating *to* ---> ordinary mind/time. 

Resting in openness. It has felt to me that I can do nothing other than sit and allow space to take care of the stuff which isn't the inconveniences exactly, but thoughts and the way of thinking about those.

It isn't enough to say 'don't label because it doesn't make logical sense to and that's wrong.' I mean, who cares about getting it 'right'. Right may mean avoiding or gaining something, sure, but I mean...  as I write this my grandfather feels rejected by me because I set limits he doesn't understand, about his encroaching on my time.

I could write a novel about ways in which behaviors of people are technically wrong and how it is insane not to set limits. But when I sit with it, love says I better call before going out of town. I 'feel' very inconvenienced by obligations just like this one, and want off the hook... definitely off the phone. I want to set everything up so that I am unhindered for 'spiritual' things. Which is just materialism.
