“This is a really cool remix of Day Glo’s resource! I love how it’s sort of a retro infomercial with very little context (who is watching the broadcast, what year is it, what comes next on the TV?)

A great way to build off of this evolving collaboration could be to write some text records outlining additional ideas for this, or remixing this or the original resource with additional visuals, audio, etc.

Really looking forward to seeing this continue to grow within the community!”

“To practice gratitude and joy, in those moments of terror, when we’re wondering, ‘Can I love you that much? Can I believe in this this passionately? Can I be this fierce about this?’ Just to be able to stop and instead of catastrophizing what might happen, to say, ‘I’m just so grateful. Because to feel this vulnerable means I’m alive.’”

it sings!

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 23:24:00 +0000

i am helium glazed, punch-drunk head full of sugar air.

nerves like live wires, lithe and fizzy.

(you mouth things to me on the backs of my eyelids,

my hallucinating finger paces the length

of your bottom lip.)

everything feels so close now,

oppressive.

the room is holding its breath.

you have made me forget subtlety, pretense clattering;

i am sure a false move will follow and i’ll be exposed.

(i am fused, blithely untenable. it is only a matter of time.)

this is the beginning, i will remember.

sometimes it will ache with promise

in retrospect.

but delicately, now,

i hold that promise in between my fingers

and it sings!

“

Neologisms represent a need to have the right labels for everything. A need to say “this is just so”, and be sure of it. Some observers hear the foreign imports and sigh, wishing that the English language played host to such refined, poetic lexical artifacts. Personally, I am glad to find these lacunae. To really work for meaning is not a chore. To find the closest compound of words and phrases to approximate feeling is rewarding in itself; to make use of neologisms and ambassadors of other languages and still fall short means only that you appreciate that language is always a compromise where we must meet each other halfway and say not “I know” but “I understand”. Lacunae represent the sheer impossibility of categorising the entirety of the world; how appropriate it is that so often these are found when it comes to describing the describer.

The gaps are always where we find ourselves.

“The realization that I was not the omniscient narrator of my own life was a rather confusing one for me. I was the kind of child who was used to being more clever than everyone else, and I was (and still am) very, very stubborn. The realization of my own inherent fallacy would have destroyed my self-esteem utterly if I did not come to a second epiphany simultaneously; yes, I was wrong most of the time, but so was everyone else. And, considering how rampant human fallacy is, I’m surprised more people don’t seem to have come to the conclusion that there is nothing sacred in the universe besides the extremely high chance of error. Accepting that doesn’t mean you should stop doing things because you’re wrong or might make a mistake - a lot of the very best discoveries are made by accident. It should, instead, make you feel freer to be wrong.”
