About this listen

In this first episode, t.k. graces us with a talk on the meaning and references included in the sublime poem “31” from his book of poetry entitled Xuan Xue: The Dark Unlearning.

31.

There is a body of sudden openness. It has
no feet, no hand, no face, no form.

And it has no alienation of labor and the
product of labor. Awareness’ work is
appearance. Management, that old fraud,
the word “I,” has been sacked.

In its mysterious absence it is wholeness, and,
when we come to rest therein—to find our own
unutterable non-being—then everything we
speak becomes love.

Tomorrow it is labor negotiations. Good faith
bargaining between the obscurity of no-thing-ness
and some-thing-ness. But tonight the subject is Love.

Tomorrow will be all headaches and hangovers. But
tonight it’s all drunken staggering.

The divine neither is nor is not, just like you
—its AppearingEmptiness is far more subtle,
more full of jest and humor, than that
