Undecided Realities
Inspiration: February
A rare occassion it is that a piece of a film, and a piece of music, and a quotation, together flow. Oh, Joy, how seldom such an experience experienced can be. Rejoice :)
Inspiration: November
The world is a living mystery. And from time to time a human being is privileged to tap into it and bring something back. To sculpt it, shape it, nurture it, love it, treasure it. And bring forth. And, if wise enough, to be thankful for the offering of the feeling.
I feel this song to be of that sort. To the mind, it seems transcending. It makes four races to be as one. Asian composer and animation, music inspired by the music discovered by African Americans and the music discovered by Native Americans, and White influences. To the heart, it seems like an ocean of a modernly archaic feeling that in its complex simplicity goes simply Beyond.
Quotation: August
how did we end
so far out
past praying
and past recall
to believe in nothing
is a faith in itself
a lighthouse
in the eye of the storm
the nightmare
of the nightmare
to follow the signal
of a ghost ship
our names are
written in water
the knowledge
is all around us
we came here
to be washed away
— Ulver (‘Island’, from ‘Wars of the Roses’ 2011)
Quotation: July
Everything possible to be believ’d is an image of truth.
— William Blake (The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1790-93)
