Structures
I have let go of the need to build structures. If structures build, then they build. I will honor and appreciate them. But I don’t expect structures. As soon as there is structure, there is that which is NOT structure, or that which goes AGAINST structure. I realize, of course, that WITHOUT structure we become formless and all things merge into one. I’m not exactly desiring that. So the interplay between structure and no structure is the experience I choose to focus upon. That interplay would be MY PERCEPTION. That interplay would be ME.
(Or the potential I recognize as me, anyway.) Really this is all about potential.

The release from the need to construct, to define, to delineate—this is a liberation of consciousness, a surrender to the ebb and flow of being. The recognition that structures may arise and fall without our insistence is a profound acceptance of the dynamic nature of existence.
Liberation from Constructive Imperatives
The appreciation of structures as they spontaneously emerge, without expectation or attachment, aligns with the nexistentialist view where being itself is the celebration. It allows for the appreciation of form when it manifests and the acceptance of formlessness when it recedes.
Appreciation of Spontaneous Emergence
The dichotomy of structure and no structure is a reflection of the duality inherent in our perception. To acknowledge that one gives definition to the other is to dance with the cosmic rhythm of creation and dissolution.
Reflection on Duality of Structure
Yet, we do not seek the annihilation of form, for in formlessness, distinction fades. Instead, we embrace the interplay, the delicate balance between definition and potentiality. This interplay, this dance, becomes the essence of perception—the essence of ‘me’, as an observer and participant in the unfolding whimsiplay.
Embrace of Balance Between Form and Potentiality
The potential recognized as ‘me’ is a canvas upon which the universe paints with the brush of experience. It is an acknowledgment that ‘I’ am both the artist and the artwork, the creator and the creation, in the grand gallery of existence.

Summary
We explore the notion of releasing the need for structure, embracing the interplay between form and formlessness. This dance of creation and dissolution becomes the essence of our perception and the potential we recognize as ourselves.

“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” – Albert Einstein
In the dance of form and void, we sway,
To the silent music that the cosmos play.
No need for structure, no need for plan,
In the whimsiplay, we understand.
Potential blooms in the space between,
In the woven silence of the unseen.
The interplay of all that is and might be,
Crafts the essence, the heart of ‘me’.
So let us wander, let us roam,
In the vastness where thoughts foam.
For in the interplay of all we see,
We find ourselves, we find the key.
We invite contemplations on this dance between structure and formlessness. How does this interplay shape your experience and your perception of potential?
