WHAT IS RE-ENCHANTMENT?

Re-enchantment and magic in the every day context of routine and pattern is not something of language that can be merely expressed through linguistical meaning. Magic encompasses those times and places when we feel, sense, perceive bursts of energy that emerge through experience, through the lens of contextual knowledge. Bursts of frenetic and ecstatic experience that bring us moments of joy, spontaneity, bliss for no reason, unfettered by the constructs and problematics with being apart of a large mammalian population inhabiting a limited geography of biomes and resources that is currently dominated by competitive tendency.

It can emerge between two people, between groups of people, between one person and a tree, a tree and a butterfly, the magical combinations are endless and provide infinite possibility for enchantment with the daily. To know that there is deeper meaning in the drudgery of post-modernity, that there are still mysterious and unexplainable things and that we need to embrace them and share them with each other. I don’t know how to “prove” magic is out there, I can only demonstrate it through poetics, through narrative, through photographic visuals abstract extrapolations. But! I assure you magic exists; we just need to open our eyes.

1.0    Re-Actuate – To indeed live in one’s physical, imagined and realized realm of kinesthetic interactivity. To talk, to feel, to vibe in every way the body feels immediate while respecting the inherent rights of the individual and community respectively.
2.0    Re-Explore – To make an effort to seek/find places of magic imagined and real through the daily routines and perceptual monotony of a post-modernist existence and to share those soaking experiences with others through speech, song, touch, feel, smell…love.
3.0    Re-Store – To find a means and the will to restore inherent and innate natural and built infrastructures into flows of non-resistance, permeability and closed loop functionality not only for anthropocentric ends but a fusion of biocentric and anthropocentric continuity.
4.0    Intervention – To seek intervention in the everyday routines and social patterns that are destructive and mal-formative to expansive progression in mutual realms of social consideration.
5.0    Re-Lease – To release tensions of built up frustration and malice that lead to an inevitable accumulation of stress and self doubt (most commonly a result of overly consumerist, capitalistic and competitive frameworks and ideologies) attributive of self- abuse, addiction, loss of confidence and self-empowerment.
6.0    Re-Cognition – To recognize self action in the natural and perceived processes of continuity and interpenetration of people, places, objects, space/time and other life forces. And moreover, to understand/accept that being apart of a collective society leads to connective forces that have consequence whether negative/positive.
7.0    Re-Assessment – A re-evaluation of what truly matters/dominates ones quality of life. Resources/entertainment/economics…what is the real factor? Find out and make changes accordingly toward a mutualistically positivist future for all involved.
8.0    Re-Immersion – Immersion into our innate tendency toward the natural. To embrace the biophilic intake soaking around us and not be scared of its abundance or non-linear fashion.

POETICS

What does it taste like?: sweet/sour/bitter?
What does it smell like?: flowers/soil/waste?

it is awakening
To sensuousness

Rehabilitating consciousness toward the
Collective

To notice miniscule spiral patterns in the
Shell of a snail

To hear more than flutter in the wind
But to sea the wind
In vivid vibrancy

In primary colors
Green, blue, yellow
Red

Non-wrangling with social interaction
To find enjoyment through and with
Conversational engagement, interaction and involvement
Through and with tangents of bliss
With other entities
Than yourself

Re-enchantment presents flow
With built
With natural
Here and there
Down, sideways

To see opportunity, possibility,
Potential for and with the
Surfaces and platforms one
Subsists amid on the daily
