Where Knowledge goes to Die

I READ, YET FORGET

I THINK OF RAHU,

THE DISEMBODIED HEAD

IN MY THIRD HOUSE  OBSESSIVE,

ACTIVE & HUNGRY

ENDLESSLY CONSUMING,

YET UNABLE TO TRULY ASSIMILATE

WHERE DOES
ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE GO?
I WONDER
AS I I RETURN
TO MY PLAYSPACE,
THE LIMINAL IN-BETWEEN
TEARING,
MAKING MARKS & MOVING
HOPING,
AS I SHAPE SOMETHING 
TO MOVE 
FROM KNOWLEDGE TO KNOWING

Where Knowledge goes to Die…& Knowing comes Alive?

Inspired by conversations had with a friend who works along with communities to revive traditional ecological knowledge, I am actively looking to expand my individual practice into participatory processes, engaging communities in creating collective body maps and healing landscapes, for which I have created the vision board above.
