A Dangerous Method

3

        Nitschke grows a long beard and thinks that the individual could only be so valid if he were intelligent and creative like himself . The superior human being needs to conquer himself and by subsuming his soul to a political idea - become its master. He will not live to see the atrocities that emanated from such dangerous assumptions.

        Tired of my own curiosity I migrate thinking I shall make the world my home. It’s not that simple. Once I leave home, it’s bad enough that I am a mere foreigner everywhere I go but I become a foreigner even to myself. Arising from such experiences, I reject the global village and long for the modest green valley of my birthplace to return to.

        Jazz produces a new kind of English. It is a child of slavery. It renders pleasure by explicitly sounding the rhythm over a form that is essentially classical allowing an intensely personalised interpretation of words, melody and harmony. Some people don't enjoy modern jazz and understandably so because egoism is generally unbearable to the observer. That's how Jazz has evolved as the domain of the virtuosi but first it came from an optimistic outlook in the face of an international wrong. So if we don't appreciate its origins, we cannot partake in the essential pathos crying for the loss inside the memory of every displaced soul that does its playing.

        Have I overcome the ambition to exceed humanity itself? If not, God please help me. In the beginning there was the Word but perhaps you never intended that I would therefore understand all its facades and aspects. In the minds of children, the world is an image more than a description. Aha! So there are thoughts without words after all and I love trees. In Korean tree is called ‘namu’ and in Italian, ‘albero’.

Franz Von Stuck, 1926

The days and nights spent in the varying temperatures around the world are repeated at the same intervals making us move and pause breathing the same air, drinking the same water and dancing to the same beat. We are united by music but how time got detached from space baffles the muses now languishing in a retirement home.

        Digital photography will cure Narcissus by showing his features with the correct symmetry of the, awkwardly titled, 'selfie', not the inverted version on liquid but on the retrovision of liquid crystals - LCD - with his name written elegantly in beautiful calligraphy. Despite certain distortions of physics, a hand will pull him out of the water and send him home to blow dry his hair, ready for a brand new day!"
