By meditating on a tree, one can discover that it is a thinking plant.

A dynamic imagination is not suited to provide us with images of resistance. A dream, however, does not follow reason. The more forcefully reason opposes the dream, the deeper the dream makes its images.

A naive life of dynamic imagination is a legend of conquests against gravity. No dynamic metaphor forms downward, no imaginary flower can bloom downward. The flowers that bloom in the night of the soul, in the extremely earthly heart of the underground man, are the flowers that grow. Ascent is the true meaning of image production, it is a positive act of dynamic imagination.

An upright tree is an evident force that leads earthly life to the blue sky. It is the trees that are constantly searching for their air balance. Thus the life of this tree seeks light.


Carried by a cloud of voices, I don't know where
Hanging high, in desired nothingness,
Inaccessible to motionless flight, cruel, silent escape

Black, empty wild spaces.
falling, I suddenly remembered

(whispering harmoniously)
"From life to life, what a journey!"
