Notes on [ZENzing]


[ZENzing] is to do with positioning the multilayering and compounding the transience of ideas as a cultural or bureaucratic construct.

On one hand it is to do with syntactical dissidence (wrongness?), on another to do with eccentric vernacularizm (placedness?), on another there is ambiguity, on another it is reminiscent of imprecision and the ephemeral (openness cum fleetingness cum slipperyness?), on another there is visual signaling and on yet another there is an alertness to the mono no aware (Wabi-sabi). It is illustrative more than programmed.

In as much as the ZEN component may invoke a particular belief system at the same time it is more phonic and visual than caught up with anything related to wisdom. Likewise, the zing component is evocative of all the reverberating metaphors it calls up but for the most part it too is phonic and graphic. The phonics of zZ is vital. The ZEN infers difference synonymous with ‘being’ and the subliminal intensities to that. Likewise, zing infers swift shifts in consequence. Together, they are incongruous and simultaneously authentic and thus there is a [ZINtax].

Adherence to [ZENzing] is intuitive rather than learned. Consequently, adherents do not proselytize, as a [ZENzinger] will always be spontaneously self aware of their status.

Zenzing is a town in Germany (49° 11' 0" North, 12° 26' 0" East) put that idea to one side. [ZENzing] is not a religion - refute that idea. [ZENzing] is not a movement - ignore that thought. [ZENzing] is a method; a conundrum; an utterly different attitude. It is [NOthing]; it is synonymous with [NOthingness]. [NOthingness] is now and never. [NOthing] is impossible and an impossibility.
