This Word “is”
This word “is” keeps me awake looking past somewhere which is to the left of nowhere in the middle of nothing filled with something.
This word “is”
Take this word ‘is’:
What is ‘is’?
Just is?
IS is is.
Surely, there’s more?
Must be more than just “is”
I and S “IS”
And placed after ‘it’
Becomes ‘it is’.
IT IS!
But is it?
The question remains:
What is it, this “is”?

to a Greek’s ear the verb is sounds electric, I am not sure what exactly it is you are doing here, maybe just be mindful and present with IS and playing with some ideas around IT, so I don’t know how deep you wish a comment to be . I could be your talkative nightmare on the matter as this is the reason (a noun with a charged echo) I am writing most of the time.
Hi IYP, This “IS” is the reason I, too, am writing most of the time. This is the setting for a series of explorations of “is” and “time” and the grounding of consciousness in a moment, a word, and the colours that we create.
Hi Bhi,
Not sure words have substance. Surely it’s the writer who gives them life and bulk? This was a bit like something out of Shakespeare’s Hamlet…
Thought-provoking, though
Cheers,
Jim
Hi Jim, you are right; it is the writer who colours the words, makes them dance. As Shakespeare would have said: “A word, no matter which sentence is its home, can be no more than the speaker’s dialect.”
