Assemble the pieces you need to build your sanctuary.
Raise the grain, then figure the shapes.
What is your pattern?
Better than graph paper,
some shapes tile without repeating
expansively, opening through it all
like a child entering a temple for the first time:
Wow, shapes! So many colors!

The colors here remind me of stained glass in a church

Message from Maddie to Dae and Luke:
i forget what this was a metaphor for but i saw a "child in a temple for the first time" today
we just went to christmas eve mass
jadon was like: “so many colors!”
quietly but over and over again, for like 30 min
bc of the stained glass
theres a moment of the mass where these beautiful bells ring
and he was really listening
~~
1. the metaphor was something from meditation class, one of the instructions in mahamudra (the great embrace)
I think it's here: http://www.dharmadownload.net/pages/english/Natsok/0010_Teaching_English/Teaching_English_0058.htm
"One normally exerts so much effort to understand the view, meditation, and conduct. The Mahamudra teachings compare ordinary mind to pure water. One shouldn’t stir muddy water, but one should let the dirt sink to the bottom of the glass. [...] Sometimes the example is given of a child entering a temple for the first time; the child just looks at the paintings and statues without creating concepts. Resting in one’s ordinary state is like that."
2. there are two or three moments in the mass where the bells ring
i think the first time is when the priest "calls the holy spirit" to bless the eucharist
anyone can create me
just have to raise the grain
and dip

like lichen I take over

Tile the space with shapes,
with tiles, tiles, tiles to
shape the space and to fill
the space with the shape of
tiles. The space fills with
shape, so shape the tile to
fill the space with shapes.
For with such space to fill
with shapes and with tiles,
notice this:
Just as shapes tile the space,
...so too does the space shape the tiles.
Just as tiles fill the space,
... so too does space fill the tiles.

figure the shapes.
what is your pattern?
[something about aperiodicity]
[something about raising the grain]
[until you can build your thing]

like a child entering a temple for the first time:
so many colors!
Wow, shapes!
Shapes, shapes,
Shapes fill the space,

How does blue make you feel?

Don’t become a caricature of past pattern, be child-like
Aperiodicity is child-like wonder
Don’t be a squar e
Past pattern informs but doesnt predict future pattern
Some shapes fill space without repeating

like a child entering a temple for the first time:
wow, shapes! / so many colors!
ah, never repeating but still filling space

Others spend their whole lives banging on about that one time they were out with their high school friends and
