    “Any fool can get into an ocean . . .”
    By Jack Spicer

    Any fool can get into an ocean
    But it takes a Goddess
    To get out of one.
    What’s true of oceans is true, of course,
    Of labyrinths and poems. When you start swimming
    Through riptide of rhythms and the metaphor’s seaweed
    You need to be a good swimmer or a born Goddess
    To get back out of them
    Look at the sea otters bobbing wildly
    Out in the middle of the poem
    They look so eager and peaceful playing out there where the
    water hardly moves
    You might get out through all the waves and rocks
    Into the middle of the poem to touch them
    But when you’ve tried the blessed water long
    Enough to want to start backward
    That’s when the fun starts
    Unless you’re a poet or an otter or something supernatural
    You’ll drown, dear. You’ll drown
    Any Greek can get you into a labyrinth
    But it takes a hero to get out of one
    What’s true of labyrinths is true of course
    Of love and memory. When you start remembering.

    Thanks for sharing Jack Spicer. He reminds me how fluid things are, of energy flowing, like poems can be, life, love, memory -- not so discrete as we might think. So sometimes we get lost and can drown in it all. So we might want to call on the goddess in us - or something supernatural -- to find our way back. Here is an example from Vimeo . . .





    Knowing how to read the tides would be useful for navigating in unknown waters, especially to return in one piece with full memory banks.


    The zoopraxiscope is an early device for displaying motion pictures. Created by photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge in 1879, it may be considered the first movie projector. The zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion. The stop-motion images were initially painted onto the glass, as silhouettes. A second series of discs, made in 1892–94, used outline drawings printed onto the discs photographically, then colored by hand. Some of the animated images are very complex, featuring multiple combinations of sequences of animal and human movement. -- Wikipedia
