I make my little pieces because these are the kinds of worlds I want to live in. We were handed grim grey worlds. Some choose to make other, and better ones.
Faerie Eggs, and Marbles.
The thing is to know which from which.

"The world to which we have belonged offers nothing to love outside of each
ReplyDeleteindividual insufficiency: its existence is limited to utility. A world that cannot
be loved to the point of death...represents only self-interest and the obligation to work. If it is compared to
worlds gone by, it is hideous, and appears as the most failed of all. In past
worlds, it was possible to lose oneself in ecstasy, which is impossible in our
world of educated vulgarity. The advantages of civilization are offset by the way
men profit from them: men today profit in order to become the most degraded
beings that have ever existed."
-Georges Bataille, "The Sacred Conspiracy"

ReplyDeleteThe closest we come is,"...the Pursuit of Happiness"
That lingers in our Constitution like a threat to our Owners, and a promise to the fucked over Masses.
I view that phrase, the only one worth really embracing as a seed biding it time. Waiting for the soil of our souls being just right for the planting.
Then the great blossoming of what we were supposed to be in the first damned place!
Btw,...you'd probably think them Katz-eyes are the Marbles.
ReplyDelete...don't be so sure. Look again.
Another school of thought says that the Pursuit of Happiness is really just 18th century code for the acquisition of wealth, and was widely understood to be so at the time.
