Why I aim to make myself an artist of my mind. (MA2013)
"This is how I feel today within these four walls or when I stroll through the city: opposed to something."
"But to what?"
"First, to the portraits I painted and to myself for painting them,"
"...but not to what I was when I painted them:"
"...I cannot oppose what I was, now less than ever."
"I wanted to summon what I was (and do believe I succeeded)"
"...like someone conjuring up his own shadow,"
"...which lingered behind and became soiled and ragged around the edges, barely recognizable in that jaded expression we know so well, but as much ours as sweat or sperm."
"And also opposed to everything around me."
"I am convinced this is where most of my tension stems from."
Jose Saramago
The importance that is given to the hidden layers of consciousness is still on the surface, without any depth. — Krishnamurti
