They are free, the birds

upon the gown of the state --

free to fly around.

Statue of Baruch Spinoza (2008, Nicolas Dings), with the quote "Het doel van de staat is vrijheid" ("The purpose of the state is freedom") from Spinoza's "Tractatus theologico-politicus" / "Theologico-Political Treatise" (1670)

Collection "Summer birds"

Enriched Enough for the Eagle to Consume Us Again

God will return when there's nothing new to see anymore

Right when you're about to dissolve into "all knowing" hubris

You shunned all experiences you couldn't mindlessly scroll through

So the mission to enrich part of the universal with unique temporality
has ended

Both God and man incapable of judging this as good or bad

Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas

some poems are not poetic
some lovers are not romantic
some lives are not dramatic
TRUE DEVOTEES ARE NOT FANATIC
