Did my first measurement at Bondi on a beautiful winter day in June (2024). The main objective was to see if I could do it solo.. with out assistance.. obviously filming was tricky… but as always.. by performing. In the world. New insights emerge.
I was approached by a couple. The woman asked:
“What are you measuring?”
“I don’t know, but
I am here with this machine
this device
which is making these
motions
tilting at these windmills
while I am wearing
this labcoat.
therefore I must be
measuring something… right?”
Normally we know what we are measuring.. we have a specific device to measure something whose attributes we are trying to pin down..
But what is the measuring device measuring when you don’t know what you are measuring.. what is a measuring device sent out in the world to find its measure?
Is that ultimately what I am ?
A semi-solid body
Trying to find
Its own measure.
It always comes back to Abraham for me.. a man wondering into the wilderness.
Unattached.
knowledgeless.
Looking for new ways of being.
Tethered.
