art for the sake of beauty, beauty for the sake of art.
i'd like to meet with those i love in near & far off places - beaches, mountaintops, exotic street markets, get-down dance floors, rogue galleries, warm seas... i'd like to meet more cats. i'd like to meet georgia o'keefe, anais nin, diane ackerman, pablo neruda, henry miller, lao tsu, buddha, the sixth dalai lama, sei shonagon and banksy. i'd like to meet the inventor of a time machine. i'd like to meet those who are here to help make heaven an experience of earth. i'd also like to meet myself as a better artist - i'm working on that.
i mostly listen to hip hop, ambient, classic indian, japanese or sufi music. some particulars are; the roots, mos def, talib kweli, mazzy star, the rachels, durutti column, devendra banhart, radiohead, lorin bassnectar, adham sheikh, eve, feist, pharrell williams, the neptunes, massive attack, the hotel costes series, underworld, a lot of the 6 degree record label or interchill records, as well as the talented crew in my vicinity; jeremiah klein & tarran being two.
the lover, dead man, house of flying daggers, hero, the protector, the princess & the warrior, lust,caution, yes, city of god, water....i love poetic nostalgias of the screen, kung-fu epics (oh bruce lee, how the world misses thee) & moving documentaries but i also take great pleasure in films that i am embarrassed to rent from the video store - like any dance movie no matter how compromised the narrative.
no tv for now
the book of tea, the pillow book, pablo neruda's odes to ordinary things, whylah falls by george elliott clarke, anything by ben okri. words by charles bukowski, jack kerouac, allen ginzberg, gary snyder, anais nin, henry miller, shunryo suzuki, diane ackerman & isabel allende. the philosophy of andy warhol by andy warhol. the writings of georgia o'keefe. the journals of frieda kahlo. i am completely enamoured with kabuki by david mack. i could spend throusands on books with inspriring imagery of art & the earth. bit by bit my library grows. come over on a rainy day for tea and reading.....
people who can smile when it all goes wrong. those who maintain equipoise in any situation. those devoted to living inspiring lives. those who take the risk of letting life follow the contours of dream.
