Inscriptions
verso in blue ink: October 23 / After a day of remorse, I am ready / To challenge the Universe. Why can I not stay / down, yet begin the fight to self-persecution? Height after height the resistance wares me / down, only to see the truth: To begin again. / -I am conceived with the weathers / If I were to see this unconventional man; I would / love it; it would love me, - that's how to be in / the world. / -yet is this a "state" or just a thought- / a state seems ready to exist, yet a / thought is in constant struggles with / other thoughts... / inner / inner-outer / from abstract (arrow) state of being (arrow) outside con- / sciousness / (state of not / being) / ego ego-less / growth / state of the world in time / not this is not anything
