mix thoroughly then separate
the divided components of your self
yourself will know each other
recognize the recognition
conceive the unimagined
image the unforeseen
know the not
divide separate integrate rewind
always listening ~ action!
always preparing ~ sleep...
pulling on the bootstraps
was never how anything meaningful
was ever accomplished
but only in the slow grinding
of the gears behind the clockface
unknown to the timereaders
vigilance is repaid in kind
just relax!

Actually, I disagree a wee bit.
There's a statistical method called bootstrapping, a resampling technique used to obtain estimates of summary statistics.
It's literally a way of squeezing info out of data that you in principle need to get outside of that data.
In this sense, there's lots that has become know relative to pulling one's bootstraps!
And I would argue this applies to life as well.
Well... I wasn't talking about statistics!
But actually, I think I was in fact talking about the same sort of thing that you are.
I was merely trying to contrast deliberate action with a deeper and yet hidden understanding of things.
And the key word in all of this is "meaningful".
only in the slow grinding
of the gears behind the clockface

good call-- it speaks to *substance* of things vs their outward appearance.
i think that's my basic quibble with the esteemed philosopher below-- his sayings reflect an interest (almost an obsession) with the *appearance* of things, i.e. with how one presents and is viewed by the world, rather than the substance of things-- i.e. the slow grinding of gears.
i like the clock metaphor!

Good point, but display is substance.
I see no differentiation between how something appears, and how it really is.
Surely, how something appears is part of the set of the way it is, its substance.
And think about what this says about power, about our current economy?
If we know that substance is appearance, a way knowing that all of the world is negotiable, then there's no end to how quickly and how well we can change and make things better.
Flow baby flow!
