I vaguely like William Blake and E.E. Cummings I suppose. Music videos: The Chauffeur by Duran Duran is special ‘A pig used to dirt turns his nose up at rice’ (Japanese proverb) Opera/Theatre: The Magic Flute, Hamlet, Midsummer Night’s Dream (and the sublime punk version with Queen Titania as a sexy dominatrix I saw in Chelsea once), the amazing rendition of my favourite film The Children of Paradise (Dec 06, Simple 8 Theatre Company) and some surreal fringe stuff I’ve seen I do not confine myself to the purely human level. I do have a human side ~ but also subhuman and superhuman as one might expect from any multidimensional being stuck in this wretched school of Earth! Here, we live intimately with our pain and sorrow and through love and creativity we learn to transform it to some degree...and eventually arrive back at the Creative Being that we are in essence, more conscious and complete in our individual expression and realisation of Pure Spirit.
beautiful people...you know who you are. oh, and bugs bunny. A fiend in need is a friend indeed! 'Let's at last (re)discover The Visionary Garden for what it has always been: the symphonic score of an aborted candour that draws from the dark and troubled water of the world, an answer motivated by the unbearable boldness of silence.' ~ Tony Leduc-Gugnalons (The Visionary Garden 2, photographs by Philippe Fichot of Die Form).
