Such a clever little piece, and my sentiments exactly.

Hmm. I like it. It reminds me of Nietzsche (who, although I don't really read all his work, was an immense influence on my view of reality has something completely fragile). Undoing is a very powerful tool

One leading to the other leaves reason to doubt our haplessness indeed, action being the operative word. The difference between getting there and being there, eh!

Maybe physics has something to do with this, but more so, it is the metaphysical sense of the will struggling against itself. I echo Wendy's comment, because you always make me think about things in life in a new light.

What can I say Ashok, well done ?...

This sounds an awful lot like me, until I get fed up and depressed with my non doing, and take action on any number of things, then satisfied, the cycle repeats itself.

in the undoing, you are doing :) hehehe.. great write!

Intensity of nothing, by not doing, does so much. Passivity can be so much more than activity. Reminds me of what Tolstoy said: Great men like Napolean, are in fact powerless to affect the way history happens. A profound truth and a great way of writing it.

Ha! You've just pinpointed every writer I've ever met. And eloquently so, I might add.

As usual, you provoke me... to examine myself and my own doing and undoing. I do sometimes feel very undone... usually when I have been concentrating entirely too much on doing. Wonderful creation, my friend. With much gratitude for your un-doing, Glenn.

so thought provoking. undoing is the bane of our culture, well, western culture, anyway. the expectation is that we are always doing, going, contributing. as an artist, i applaud the undoing! and, what is undoing? it could be the perceived laziness, as described by lethargy Boredom and dreaming...these are the petri dish for fertility. in the moments, days, or months that we stop, we rest. we OBSERVE life's details and take notes, we file them away for future endeavors. we gain perspective. we refuel. we store our energy for more output. more creative expression. go against the grain, indeed, and undo. unplug. unmake. take it all apart and put it back together in a new way, when you feel like making/doing again. PK

Actually, undoing is much harder than doing, but your focus and intent is shimmering in your poem with true possibility. A worthy enterprise, and well set out here-- only one with such a "foundation" can go against the usual "grain" and accomplish this kind of task. Knots are made even without knowing, but the untangling-- that is the real work!
