Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

naming things

Example: The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics gets its name
from the fact that song and voice is carried by the breath. Kerouac
practiced tracing his mind's thoughts and sounds directly on the page.
Allen Ginsberg's poetry works on this model, and Chögyam Trungpa
wanted meditation-teachers-in-training to learn to be poets in this
style, so they would teach with attention to the breath, as poets. --
Based on page 427 of "Recalling Chögyam Trungpa"
