On the Separate Unity of Things...

This drawing is a close up line study from the sketchbook of Jesse Van Horne, 2015
The perception of separation, or the idea of separateness is a false one. All things are "part & parcel" of one another. Boundaries are merely differentiations in the pulsing, unified fabric of the earth and everything in it, existence, the cosmos, it all goes together.
To operate from the vantage point of an initial misperception or miscalculation is to stumble clumsily (if not blindly) through life, reacting to things, events, and people in the world around you. People who really believe/perceive this separate state will also be those to support the act of war the most vigorously. The act of war is the amalgamation, the ultimate result of this kind of perception.
