I'm hooked on beauty. I am also out to free language from the confining metaphors of the flesh. We all carry a virus of language within us, which even silence cannot cure, and we will until our blood flows freely through our veins, freed from its cells. The sun beats in my chest, a heartbeat in a ribcage, I am ecstacy encased in flesh - Freed in interaction. (Thank you.)There is so much more, always so much more.Silence is the only mirror that accurately reflects it; my words do little more than purposefully fogging the reflective surface to guide one's attention to the illusion of one's self-perception, like a finger pointing at the moon to indicate the sun. Some simply stare at the fingertip.WWW.SNAILCONVENTION.COM
