It's Just Madness

"Yes, I'm gonna put a spell on you,
Just to see exactly what you do"

Delicious

The best apple I've ever tasted - and I do remember this though it's decades ago - was a tiny shrivelled rather ugly looking one, yet it smelled and tasted wonderful.

Tightrope

There is a lot to be said in favor of Peter Brook's approach to rehearsals and the exercise he does, not only from an actor's perspective I guess, but also very much from the audience's. Both have to work to establish the imaginary reality of the tightrope ;)!

Up or Down

Overlooking or
hiding

 Soul!

Ecce!

OOnly if the detail and the whole form an inseperable unity, one sees the single stroke and the form at once or even better it continually oscillates, I'm satisfied. One should see the wood and the trees ;)

Raw

The raw image though not executed so delicately has got the more immediate and real touch.

I Couldn't Help It

And I will surely take the blame, but what is the point of remaining flawless, while we're still alive ;)

Paradox

Most intriguing to me are conflicting traits like being at once devotional and haughty. Whatever would make a proud person go down on his/her knees...

Present II

This goes way back...

Something I observed and later on it was turned into a joke:

"How was your vacation?" - "I don't know, I have to have a look at the photos."

Present

Being open, alert and attentive.

If you're texting or reading on your smartphone, you're never ever actually present...

Untitled

"Even those paintings that are claimed to not say anything say something by not saying anything." - Barnett Newman

There is an almost desperate truth in that sentence, at least nowadays.

Plaudite

There is that ridiculous situation when everybody refuses to see the elephant in the room - and, wow, could this be a frightening sight - , but in a comedy there is much fun to be drawn out of it.

Plaudite amici comedia finita est.

Curiosity

"Curiosity is one of the forms of female bravery" - Victor Hugo

This kind of curiosity that tries to understand without preconception, an openess to the unexpected.

Sometimes one even might find oneself doing stuff that at first sight appears to be quite unreasonable, yet if one is willing and brave enough, it curiously will make some sense... ;)

Feminine

Though we might tease you men, be sure that, when we are at our best, we do try to understand and in the end will always (take) care.

Sense of Humour

Sometimes I wonder if my sense of humour, the things I laugh about, are at all intelligible to other people...

A very good example of how confusing it can be is Hugh Laurie in this little excerpt.




I think it's hilarious and I absolutely know why the Belgians laughed ;)!

Inevitable




Maybe it was also a Happy Struggle.
