By now I&#8217;ve eaten over 700 Wild Onions&#8211; without ever leaving the trail! As the ground slowly begins to freeze, my onion-digging days are coming to an end&#8230; but not before they announce themselves with shocking clarity to the refinements of my perception.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Layers and embryos&#8230;&#8221; is all they&#8217;ll say. But I get it. Just when I thought there couldn&#8217;t possibly be any more layers of old decaying growth to peel and discard, illusions still drop at my feet. Oh how I&#8217;ve been buried!<\/p>\n<p>I dig and I peel&#8230; getting down to that which is embryonic&#8211; the new growth awaiting tomorrow&#8217;s fare conditions. Imbued with life, I wander these hills as Onion-Man Fog-Eater.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Screen-Shot-2013-10-23-at-8.56.11-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Screen-Shot-2013-10-23-at-8.56.11-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-10-23 at 8.56.11 AM\" width=\"1199\" height=\"710\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Screen-Shot-2013-10-23-at-8.56.11-AM.png 1199w, https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Screen-Shot-2013-10-23-at-8.56.11-AM-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Screen-Shot-2013-10-23-at-8.56.11-AM-1024x606.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Breathing magick with every breath&#8230; eating magick, whose taste still lingers.

I don&#8217;t see darkness or a blank slate. No, I see a riotous kaleidoscope of layered shifting patterns in storms of activity. If I lend my attention to the closed-eye light show I can easily become mesmerized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Notice that the tumult has died down considerably.&#8221; Holy crap! It&#8217;s true; there is far less activity playing out on the screen of my inner eyelid! &#8220;What was &#8216;written&#8217; there has brought you through to this culmination. You will begin now to write the new codes of your perception. The old codes are obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enjoy the peace and the calm&#8230; as the codes of calamity burn off in the mist.
