Before the Name

nothing added, nothing taken colors landing before the naming shapes arriving, no translation then a word comes, rearranging tree appears and then “it’s a tree” two events but felt as one thing label lands and draws a boundary never there in what is seen same field holding sound and image same field holding thought describing voice of mind keeps softly pointing nothing actually dividing urge arises, like a leaning body still but something’s moving mind says “that is me deciding” but it’s just the same field moving no inside and no outside just a story told about it depth is seen but not a border distance named but never found it language dancing on the surface useful, light, but not the substance words are echoes of the moment not the truth of what is present kids can see it if it’s simple not a lesson, just a noticing “what’s there before you say it?” watch the naming as it’s forming nothing raw that must be reached for nothing lost that must be found now this is already unfiltered even when the words are loud seeing, naming, both are happening no need pulling them apart just the field appearing as this whole and seamless as it starts
