Topsyturvydom

Whether deliberately or not, sometimes I hope to be able to see things from a different angle, somehow upside down. There 's got to be a way to live.

There Is No Way

around the topsy-turvy, if one is looking for adventure and (true spiritual) experiences.


And I love it...Shake it/me, baby!

"Difference is Beautiful"

There is certainly a reason why I love listening to Peter Brook.

Probably because he knows to express thoughts that are very close to my heart.

I especially like the note he ends on that difference is not something to be afraid of, to deny or to just ignore, but something to cherish. Something that is hardly heard of nowadays, but something that makes up every single person's uniqueness.


Rush

and hurry up

Contemporary

There's too much  and yet far too little to actually wake me up and get me interested.

Where has the sheer joy gone and where the brilliant, light and deep discourse?!

Waiting

You've been hiding for ever
What can I do
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been talking to strangers
I don't think I should
I've been waiting for someone
I'm aching for someone

Vergegenwärtigung - Visualisation - Wow

The other day somebody remarked that he wanted to build an art museum for the present, even discarding "museum" as inappropiate, for he felt that the musea nowadays are presenting outdated art.  Yet there is something he probably completely misunderstood about the fine arts, they are in themselves visualisation. I like the German term "Vergegenwärtigung" because it contains "Gegenwart"/"presence", thus also representation. Whatever it is a work of art contains, it is also a presence.

Blunt

There was a time me and my daughter indulged in inventing new swear-words, usually linking one or several adjectives with a noun to create some wonderful images. In fact I made her because I thought the usual stuff far too boring.

Whatever happened to a language or a culture that does not actually realise this potential any more?! Or where has the time to indulge gone?!

The Equilibrium

Odd situation: I need to care a lot to be inspired or inspiration makes me care a lot, but I also need to keep my distance in order to be able to work it out...

Like being full of spirit and shy at the same time...Mix it well and it will explode...

The Age of the Superlative

Everywhere one is turning in the media, journalism, private conversation there is a fondness for employing the superlative, a gigantic figure being beyond any framework.

Yet, how ever to hold dear these giants?! Unless they've got something tiny and adorable - precious.

Grin

There is a deep irony that runs almost melancholic and yet revealing a compassionate and light heart.
