CAPILLARY ACTION.......BEGINS WITH A BEATING HEART

 



All the writing I've done in my life, placed 'end to end', would reach the moon.....but that was never an intentional destination.......There's never been a destination in my mind......I guess that's why my avalanche of verbiage never really went anywhere....strings of words are like pencil and ink drawings....they go where they go, often with no intention whatsoever......then another sheet of media begins the journey anew....Eventually, and hopefully, a map appears, in retrospect.....but the map is but a labyrinth from the unconscious to the realizable......So, burn after reading....or just file it all away for some academic scholar who may spend a lifetime assembling, reassembling and projecting meaning upon all this jargon.........It's all in the margins, after all......waiting for the reweave on NPR, in an interview with yet another academic writer, in a morning interview, with hopes...and copious footnotes....promoting their "Lives Of Others" posturing to the Drugstore's 'best sellers' rack, next to the cash registers...

 when overwhelmed by loud noises or several people talking at once.....I discovered, long ago, that the best thing for me to do...is re-focus...replacing the stimuli to one sense to that of another.......especially on nearby sharply defined objects, which seems to muffle the edges of my diminishing constraints. Yellow, with green, is especially effective....... I think this is one reason that I became a photographer.....to re-focus on still, visual stimuli rather than endure cacophony.....then....as I just was studying the cinematography of David O. Russell, becoming fixated on his "emotionally disasterous" scenes .....and all of his films have mountains of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kItBZZK1p0 Perhaps I am delusional to even consider, or imagine, a World without dramatic inconclusiveness or desperate, competitive attention seeking.....detached, as David Clemens wished his world was, in his own mind, oblivious to the mixed metaphors of Reality, the outreach for connectivity seeming to always assume the posturings of children, seeking approval, then rejecting this for doubt and uncertainty...
