Let me share my favorite in-story welcome message in all of #literature. It's spoken by Pablo in STEPPENWOLF by #HermannHesse (occasionally misquoted in translation):

"'This little theater of mine has as many doors into as many boxes as you please, ten or a hundred or a thousand, and behind each door exactly what you seek awaits you. It is a pretty cabinet of pictures, my dear friend; but it would be quite useless for you to go through it as you are. You would be checked and blinded at every turn by what you are pleased to call your personality. You have no doubt guessed long since that the conquest of time and the escape from reality, or however else it may be that you choose to describe your longing, means simply the wish to be relieved of your so-called personality. That is the prison where you lie.'"

Another guy who upbraids/upbraided his readers a bit, huh? Though not overtly.

A quotation from C. S. Lewis

But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
An Experiment in Criticism, Epilogue (1961)

Orpheus, Odilon Redon

My education on Greek mythology is scant but there's an interesting page on Wikipedia about Orpheus. He was a musician so maybe a lute is indicated here?

I really enjoy Odilon Redon's work so much. There's something about color and texture and complexity that's amazing but it's not just that, there is always a relation to a figure or a scene which brings it into an experiential place for me. I am resting with my eyes closed, dead or dreaming, with whatever all that color and texture and contrast represents.

I wanted to note here that almost all of my art education has been on the internet and following blogs of other art lovers. I am deeply indebted to them for enriching my life, I want to keep that alive on the internet, this blog is about that. Thank you to all of you out there ❤️

Heavenly Place in the Mind, Chalermchai Kositpipat

To me this really gets at a certain feel. Moonlight seems to have this delicate magic, the normal world is strange and quiet and beautiful. It wouldn't be totally surprising to turn around and catch a cat walking on its front legs or a fox trying to catch moths. haha

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

Work, Sadamasa Motonaga
oil and gravel on canvas.

Back to work today. This seems vaguely human-shaped which would make the messy top part the head and so maybe the mental state. It could be that the artist had something else in mind but that's my reaction to it. I love that they used gravel to get that texture.

I friend sent me this "letter to the editor" to the St. Paul paper and I'd like to share it here...

[Everything below is a direct quote except the first comma which I added for clarity.]

Rage, Rear-Ended by Hope

On Dec. 11, I was driving back to my home on the West Side of St Paul — a predominantly Latino neighborhood that I’ve lived in for over 20 years.

As I was approaching the main intersection of Caesar Chavez and George Street, my car was blocked by a St. Paul Police SUV. I saw a few SUVs ahead and a small group of people gathered and my heart began to sink. Not in my neighborhood. Not on a quiet Thursday night during Advent. With daily ICE raids infesting the city, I felt a burst of anger and wanted to get out of my car and scream.

Soon the SUV pulled back to let me through and I saw that what was ahead was a processional. A group of about 60 people, flanked by St Paul Police cars, making their way down Caesar Chavez with an illuminated image of the Virgin Mary leading the way.

The emotional whiplash was too much in that moment. Rage rear-ended by hope in the middle of a St. Paul intersection. The faithful were processing to church on the eve of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, with police escort.

I had to weep as I pulled into my driveway with the moment sinking in, trying to process the cruelty, beauty, violence and transcendence of these days we are living in. May hope find its way even on the darkest of nights.

Peace to all,

Jeffrey Zupfer, St. Paul

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

Philosophy complains that Custom has hoodwinked us, from the first; that we do everything by Custom, even Believe by it; that our very Axioms, let us boast of Free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such Beliefs as we have never heard questioned. Nay, what is Philosophy throughout but a continual battle against Custom; an ever-renewed effort to transcend the sphere of blind Custom, and so become Transcendental?

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 8 (1834)

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

Our doings are not so important as we naturally suppose; our successes and failures do not after all matter very much. Even great sorrows can be survived; troubles which seem as if they must put an end to happiness for life, fade with the lapse of time until it becomes almost impossible to remember their poignancy. But over and above these self-centered considerations is the fact that one’s ego is no very large part of the world. The man who can center his thoughts and hopes upon something transcending self can find a certain peace in the ordinary troubles of life which is impossible to the pure egoist.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)

In the face of destruction, where safety seems to vanish like smoke in the air, remember that the spirit cannot be destroyed. Even in the darkest nights, light emerges from within—guiding us through fear and despair, reminding us that peace begins where hatred ends.

Dear Friends of #Naturalness and #nurturing #natures, :ablobcouple:

As we know, we can learn from #animals, #plants and interactions. This #experiential #interdependence #flows through our experience and #potential to #unfold. Some examples:

• Not everything grows, some nature feeds the next generations through decay :ablobslurp:
• Live, #love and life dances :ablobdancer:
• #Birds sing for #trees, so too are we clusters of #transcendence :_stars:

For me, having been a Mormon is like the other stages of my life.

I’ve graduated and transcended from Mormonism.

I believe in love. Kindness. Empathy. Compassion. Respect. I believe in today and this very moment. I believe in life before death. There is awe, wonder and mystery in the Universe. I embrace open-mindedness over dogmatism.

"Today Ukrainians do not speak about 'after the war;' they speak about 'after the victory'—пiсля перемоги (pislya peremohy). 'Peremoha'— Polish theater director Krzysztof Czyżewski suggested—should become part of a new universal vocabulary. The prefix pere indicates a crossing and moha means 'I can.' Peremoha—'victory'—literally expresses a going beyond what one is able to do."

Oh yea, it's Jukebox Friday Night (in the afternoon). The theme is apparently "Transcendence" / "Lose Yourself" - or to quote, "uplifting, joyous & otherworldly tunes..."

Well, how about Space Suit from They Might Be Giants' album Apollo 18 https://songwhip.com/they-might-be-giants/space-suit

It's an all instrumental piece that is very otherworldly and can just help you transcend or relax as you lose yourself to the music.

The first song that came to mind for #JukeboxFridayNight with the theme #Transcendence ... because it always puts me in a better mood. Let's goooo!

Set fire to the dark and show you my light / A long arc I draw a path for you / Hold your head up, where you stand is in the right / Every bit of you I'll illuminate

#SHINee #Kpop #TheFeeling

Some beautiful piano and so much tape warp you'll be checking the batteries in your Walkman
... I find deliberately lo-fi instrumental music somehow on theme... often makes me feel like the ol' cliche of travelling without moving
