I do not suggest a philosophy | |||||||
lurks behind my painting: | |||||||
I am going blind, dulling colors, | |||||||
why color primary, take | |||||||
my glasses off to see color | |||||||
while I can. Same with my | |||||||
poetry, which I don't write | |||||||
anymore, no sophisticated | |||||||
epistemology implied, | |||||||
let me spare you inferring | |||||||
The more I paint the more I mute | |||||||
me, visualizing saying | |||||||
now that saying's obsolete | |||||||
1/ our friends at wikipedia tell us [Singer/guitarist of Archers of Loaf Eric] Bachmann has stated in interviews that his thought processes around the band have changed over time and that his relationships with the older material are also different: "Essentially, before, when I was a 20-year-old kid playing that stuff, I got some sense of satisfaction or power. I felt confident playing in front of people. Now I don't feel that satisfaction or that power," he said. "The reward I get now is I'm going out and people are enjoying hearing it. My relationship had to change with the songs, and in that light I like all of them."

3/Someone once told me that the basic assumptions of the mystical world view are
i/the universe is here on purpose
ii/humankind has, or could have, some connection with that purpose
iii/it is possible to improve your ability to perceive and cooperate with that purpose, in the place and time you find yourself
