About me: I spend way too much time alone and I can't imagine life without my music. Sleeping and lucid dreaming- these are priorities and I love animals more than most people. I like to travel for concerts and I want to see as many beautiful theaters as I can before I die. I'm interested in art, art in all of its forms, art as writing, painting, photography, sculpture, music, as a form of self expression, as a form of political expression, as means of political and cultural change, art as a cathartic experience, as an intellectually and spiritually challenging experience, as a way to understand more about our human condition and the minds and hearts of others, art as a psychological tool, and art, simply for art's sake
""Orchids, your sweet elixir to sleep. They open you to other possibilities, other worlds, other times. Drink deeply and sail your seas."
--Sabrina
"Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul's growth, to its unfoldment".
--Lawren Harris
Who I'd like to meet: SORROW
"Sorrow is knowledge,
those that know the most must mourn the deepest,
the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life."
--- Lord Byron
"... joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed."
--Kahlil Gibran
"Excess of sorrow laughs---excess of joy weeps."
~~William Blake
"Sadness is but a wall between two gardens."
--Kahlil Gibran
"Joys impregnate, sorrows bring forth."
--An old proverb, or Shawn?
"Sorrow has the sweetest little laugh, and
Sorrow is a pretty good friend to have
She said take off my blue dress
And give it to happiness....
It matches the color of her eyes at midnight."
-- Tori Amos
"He Poos Clouds" by Final Fantasy
..
"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
--Anais Niin
"I was only going to say that heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy."
--Emily Bronte
"Footfalls echo in the Memory,
down the passage which we did not take,
towards the door we never opened,
into the rose-garden."
-- T.S. Eliot
I am still perplexed by your enigmatic comment regarding the Sheltering Sky on my page. I know you posted it over two months ago, but it is still haunting me. Posted on the 23rd. See the 23rd hexagram of the I Ching and the nature of the comment, and I wonder. . . .
