Aren\u2019t all verbs qualia? We move matter. We move ourselves. Something is happening to matter, just as wind and waves do something to matter. It is something that is happening to matter, to us, to someone else. But it is qualia, qualia is the cause, the movement of matter is the effect. Qualia is the physical \u201claw\u201d which underlies the effect, like gravity, or a \u201cneed\u201d such as hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qualia is only a description, an interpretation. In as much as it is a law, it is an imperative, too. We must eat. Water must run downhill, resulting in ripples and waves. Matter must connect through qualia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only are all verbs qualia – descriptive laws, – but all prepositions are, too. My teacher taught us about prepositions in the fifth grade: Anything you can do to a cloud<\/em>; through, around, over, under. And there\u2019s more: upness, downness. In fact, to be qualiadelic is to live adjectivally. We neither just be or just do, we\u2019re not merely nouns or verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re neither spiritual or practical. We are not artists, we are Art. We are ceremony. We are relationship. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aren\u2019t all verbs qualia? We move matter. We move ourselves.
