uhh
So I like the word.
LACUNAE
if something missing here, art. flesh.
...not just sick of these conversation collectives,
but of comparisons too—general
identities, ages, bodies, religions: lopsided.
then meditation in the abstract: whether tight or wrinkled
as skin over the whole skeleton of knowledge.
grafted, blended, burned, oiled, painted,
suctioned together. is this what they think? and I?
who is who is they are you? collective
overdose, suicide: you ask what difference—
of mess, sloppiness in the acts? of intentionality,
individuality. digging down, I find myself grave-deep...
within a mire. if something missing within me,
already He is here.

I am responding after reading several of your entries so it isn't a response to this one . Several entries back you said you couldn't get going and needed to be kicked back on task or something. The next entry was the song, "I Am Crucified With Christ". Reading this song made these thoughts come to mind: we DO need to be crucified with Christ and especially when we can't get going with tasks that are distasteful or hard. I'm guessing Jesus got up some days thinking, "How much longer do I have to put up with these disciples, these people, this world?" Maybe He knew how much longer , but I do think He may have gotten tired of the whole scene on earth, especially since He knew what it is like in heaven. Anyway, living out the daily grind takes dying to yourself, like He did on the cross AND in just coming to earth altogether. I think it takes humbling ourselves to do mundane tasks that aren't so pleasant.
Phil. 2: 5-8 says: "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped , but emptied Himself, taking on the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." That's a good passage to ponder.
