inWithout fraternity there are no men but containers of guts and a people made of containers does not exist, it is not people. Man is made up of fraternity, when we say man we only say fraternity. And a man – or people – who place themselves at the center of life, saying ‘I’, with strong slaps on the chest, are degraded apes (while the monkey is not).
(…) I write these things out of order. It is that my character is bad, it is not good, it is not tender, and immediately, when I meet presumption and cowardice that enter the territory of innocence and weakness as masters, I would like to take up arms, I would like to take a scimitar, and drop it of infected heads. But I would turn into one of them, and then the desire is gone.

« Because you are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought — and about how, when I went out to work today and looked a tall sunflower in the face, it smiled at me with all of its seeds. »

I’ve always been interested by the poetry of neglected shipyards, ugly railway sidings and wasteland, places of desolation and neglect. Because I knew inside of me that the outer world does not support us in continuity, the street is full of heterogeneous things, but we are helped in continuity by the unconscious, this inner order is the foundation of our psyche. Everything seems to come with bewildering in consequence from all its various layers….
This what my whole conceptual life is about ….lines drawn until they fade and fuse with the surface, creating spatial depth and this process of adding layers exploits these abstract interpretations of movement, sound, mutability and evanescent light. It is an investigation of our surrounding….exactly the way one must understand his own darkness/ light and complexity. Nothing in us ever remains quite uncontradicted.

Music of holiness is on an extraordinary high level, as is well known. The essence of such music is created when good is clarified and removed from evil. When one removes and separates good points from evil, music is formed. When a person does not allow himself to fall, but rejuvenates himself by searching within himself for the good points, and he gathers these good points out of the bad that is also within him, tunes are formed.
(Rebbe Nachman of Breslov)
If you want to know who a person is, ask them what kind of music they like… because music is not about what you have, it’s what you are longing for.
(Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach)

Fly high in the night
The forest is
Uninhabitable like your mouth,
And when desire comes to whisper
In the room we reopen the identical wound.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry
