It's Dreadful Anti-Position Comes Blacking in My Mind, or: March 2015




The entire end-of-October night was beating with a single pulse, its own strange rhythm sounding through the trees and rain and mud in a manner beyond words or vision: a vision present in the low light, in the slow passage of darkness, in the blurred shadows, in the working of tired muscles; in the silence, in its human subjects, in the undulating surface of the metaled road; in the hair moving to a different beat than do the dissolving fibers of the body; growth and decay on their divergent paths; all those thousands of echoing rhythms, this confusing clatter of night noises, all parts of an apparently common stream, that is the attempt to forget despair; though behind things other things appear as if by mischief, and once beyond the power of the eye they no longer hang together. So with the door left open as if forever, with the lock that will never open. There is a chasm, a crevice.

  3. again i was truly amused in the ..way.. of your filming those two short clips back there. / and now to ask if you type in this bit of wording does it tell where i put it on a search -"for if you didn't get a chance to look at that film clip before i removed my questioning and comments because they were not about your photo but of what of , if you or anyone commenting here ever wonders why i remove them ,that's why . i wrote my comment about leonard here because i always assumed that he had come from someth. over there at the inn because he was sitting at the closest bench to the inn.. in the park ..when she/this young girl, myself .. came out of the inner city off the path woods , and he smiled in the way that he did because i was so off the path in my cotton dress and boots . /what the film clip was of in the midst of antony hegarty singing if it be your will in the film about leonard /he speaks a little in a clip from saying that that song and most of his songs are about praying that others see the beauty in life . /and my add to that is ..if they do not see the beauty in life and living , if they only look for or imagine that beauty in some imagined after life ..they will not take care.. while they are here living .. .

    1. I'm glad you read, I'm glad you comment, I hope you will continue to do so, but I will - or won't - get to this when I'm not in this dark a mood exacerbated by people I don't like in real life telling me what I will do and assigning a dead line. My apologies.
