Hogness - Kurosawan Style

Hogness has no sides, no shapes, and no ways. It is essentially what you want it to be. This blog however preaches Kurosawan Hogness, and so there are specific forms to the way of the Kurosawan hog.

These ways however, cannot be put into words. Some things just are to great to be put into words, and this is one of them. I would like to reveal an aspect of hogness here, to shed light on what it consist of.

I recall discussing hogness in a previous post. In fact, defining it in ways I could. As I write this current blog post, I realize, my definitions may or may not be the same. This is a vital part of Kurosawan Hogness; things are not being, they are becoming. Kurosawan Hogness (KH) could have been that then, but it is this now.

I also feel the hog is constantly smelling things. It is focused on the smell in the air, and so it does not pay attention to much else. On several occasions, I find myself lost, because I have not been focused on the situation; instead I have been focused on a greater situation.

An example of this phenomenon is observed through conversations with people, as well as observations of situations. Throughout conversations, I find myself not consuming what I am being told. If you greet me for the first time, and tell me your name, or who you are, or why you are talking to me, I will most likely not understand. Similarly, when listening to a song with only 20 words in it for 4 days strait, I can only recite a few words; simply the mind does not feel the need to know the words - only the need to experience exists. The mind is consumed with other thoughts, and so it cannot focus on all the signals being presented to it. It is a hog's mission to be able to consume everything. This is very rare, and is praised by all KHs.

The next time you talk to a hog, don't be surprised If he or she does not respond for it is simly the nature of a hog to not listen to non-extraordinary things.
