Dead Hunted (A DKS of Pete Namlook’s OMID / HOPE from Silence 1 remastered 2022) AKA Half a Hand Grenade with thanks to @peterwebster Con/Jur/d, 2/21/2026 On describing the project of using music, rather the space- oousness as a discreet koan study he said THAT's like half a hand grenade And the way, you do, when after this time before, wanted to/will do Rep-ly, depends which half, pin or casing? Or as our friend hiking in the cemetery said this is zen and we replied, no, no THIS IS We went back and forth for a time Which misses the point we hadn’t wanted to walk a cold winter slurry fell from the sky considering what’s wrong what choice did we have? We hunted the dead, or as Pete Namlook says in his commentary YOU ARE THE RAIN expounding further BEAUTIFUL SILENCE, is which? BENEATH THIS COLD RAIN is it PIN or CASING? and depending on the distance hardly matters, before we are DEAD and we are forever spacious We’ll hear the rain fall endless silence If we’re persistent and lucky, THE BEAUTIFUL becoming the inevitable BOOM!
Different Life 2/21/2026, Con/Jur/d he had been having panic attacks and his mother had planned a trip back to the motherland, recently unsovietfied, everything suspended this afternoon, the elder magus, had to watch him, make sure the Kundalini threatened, to explode from spine, head, toes spill all he could do, as the energy rose into street by the warehouse the train whips past, giving an excuse for his segmented rattling charge building, he says, I’m so afraid of getting on the plane, locked the first bad one was the flight from Rochester San Francisco and the one who only a couple of years later, would leave his body and not remember how bold we used to be? he says, and you don’t have to what? GO what? the relief he felt how did the air get so calm? no one lives in industrial corners now, years later, he trusted him as witness for his first marriage no, he didn’t see 9/11, birth of his daughter, divorce and all the mistakes after, all the woman broke his plates drank frozen vodka, not for him different karma (life)
We hope to leverage gate(less) into an ongoing practice, we have a memoir project and several chapbooks in production, and we’re hoping by making gate(less) at least 3 days a week again, plus posting updates we can blackmail ourselves into a regular ‘doing’ practice. Currently, in thaw conditions. Let’s hope the flow keeps flowing.
Much love,
Con/Jur/d, 2/21/2026
Hoping your daily practice manifests. 🙏 hard to get back to a routine sometimes.
Someday we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the ski
But for now we are young
Let us say in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can ski
