Boxes and open spaces



boxes and open spaces

boxes are used to carry and store things in
boxes are a way of containing controlling contorting
boxes are used for safety emotionally or agenda based
perhaps to protect yourself or protect a concept
some go by the saying those who are not for me are against me
but is everything so clear cut
hand in had with boxes are labels we are pattern based organisms but to what extent
but boxes are created internally or externally
logically if a +b then c
but the important part of the equation is if
proposing their could be an if not
boxes are limited their process is to limit to put a place holder upon something
can everything be boxed and should everything be boxed
 should birds be caged
the thing with boxes is we sometimes forget what the said thing was without a box
also with boxes we can seal them up store them up and never reopen them again
you may have boxes but who are the manufacturers of your boxes
for how ca we have boxes of things we have never solely experienced
this is where the box "society" comes in
it gives you these boxes which over time you identify with
man woman black white old young
and within that architecture gives rise to opposing forces and warring factions
and even hate

But what of the free spirit the wind like wanderer the enemy of the confined this seems to be their countless struggle the struggle against confinement restriction and regulation the cage-less creature perhaps tapping into the inner essence of man


You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life? ~Rumi

Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. ~Rumi

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? ~Rumi

Questioning why we stay in boxes for humanity is boxed cut off from nature cut off even from itself
