I'd like to meet Obadiah Shoher, the author of "Samson Blinded: A Machiavelian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict", present on http://www.samsonblinded.org. But a site is not enough, a book is too little. But you do the trip and meet him in what he has written. I just hope one day I may just hold his hand, shake it and kiss his soul. That's how I feel about all Jews and all Arabs. It is for me an old love affair between their sky and my soul, or their soul and my heart. I can't help it. I am a Semite-lover, just like others were black-lovers in the US a long time ago. God bless the Selmitic people! I'd like to meet people who do not know what limits and limitations are and who would consider frontiers and borders as the necessary suburbs of they daytime life and the battlefields of their nighttime life. I'd like to meet people who would emphasize intervals rather than notes, and who would love the diabolical tritone. I'd like to meet people for whom color and darkness would be the basic ingredients of their vision that would only include whiteness as a shade of grey if not of black. Could I ever meet Prokofief's three oranges on a bar counter?
All, absolutely all, from Japanese noise to operatic altos and countertenors
All, absolutely all, from the good old black and white silent muties to today's popular blockbusters and intimate clandestine author's works of art that will never go beyond the twenty seat movie "theaters". Have you ever admired Clive Barker's Salomé?
I can do without that, except the Twilight Zone, Bonanza, Twin Peaks, and all these series that explore the backside of things.
All absolutely all provided they are in a language I can read, and I can read a few, and even if they are in a strange language, let me get them in English and that will do.
The Gods of the mind, the Goddesses of the soul, and the conviction that Buddha was right when he said that we need no Gods or Goddesses to understand the world.
