The stars are blotted out, The clouds are covering clouds It is darkness vibrant, sonant. In the roaring, whirling wind Are the souls of a million lunatics Just loosed from the prison-house, Wrenching trees by the roots, Sweeping all from the path.
The sea has joined the fray, And swirls up mountain-waves, To reach the pitchy sky. The flash of lurid light Reveals on every side A thousand, thousand shades Of Death begrimed and black — Scattering plagues and sorrows, Dancing mad with joy, Come, Mother, come!
For Terror is Thy name, Death is in Thy breath. And every shaking step Destroys a world for e'er. Thou ÔTime', the All-destroyer! Come, O Mother, come!
Who dares misery love, And hug the form of Death, Dance in Destruction's dance, To him the Mother comes.
this is my favorite bible passage: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
--Paul, in a letter to the Ephesians (Ch.6 v.12) about 1900 years ago
"...the mere gaze of an object cannot engage us (completely). Each look flows into a careful examination, each examination into a meditation, and each meditation takes us into a connection. With each attentive look into the world we already begin to theorise about it. If the abstractions we fear is to be harmless and the experience we hope for is to be real and useful, we need to engage skilfully with consciousness, self-reflection, a sense of freedom, and - to use a daring word - a sense of irony."
Johann Wolfgang Goethe preface of ‘The Theory of Color’ Anyway, instead of Seabreeze I'm going to go to the conservatory and then I'm going to have a concert in Highland Park underneath the statue of Goethe at around 5pm. Then I'm going to go see Grizzly Man at the Eastmanhouse at 8pm. And then around 10pm or so I'll be going to Lux.

the goldem sun licks sugar off my lips and feeds me the wine of life but the vessel is old and soon will burst
I was gonna go to seabreeze on my birthday, but I found out it's closed that day. The Fair even ends on sept. 3. Damn. Oh well, I guess it'll have to be ConeyIsland in MyMind. The pennycandystore beyond the El is where I first fell in love with unreality Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom of that september afternoon A cat upon the counter moved among the licorice sticks and tootsie rolls and Oh Boy Gum
Outside the leaves were falling as they died
A wind had blown away the sun
A girl ran in Her hair was rainy Her breasts were breathless in the little room
Outside the leaves were falling and they cried Too soon! too soon
My birthday is on September the fifth (yeah, it's the same birthday as Dweezil Zappa) 2007 for Virgos: OVERVIEW: Maintaining positive friendships and close personal relationships is a high priority for practical Virgo this year. Your family and home life will be a source of great happiness and pleasure as you spend time building good relationships. You share your opinions openly and honestly. Surrounded by inspiring artistic people, you will have a desire to express your own creativity. Variety and versatility give you the urge to take up many different skills.
As you move into the brand new year, you'll keenly observe the world around you and uniquely express it through creative avenues. You are a wonderful artist and could easily make art into a career in the coming months. Everything your awareness touches becomes a field for your intellectual attainment. Your desire to express your artistry could expand into exhibiting your work at public art events. Culture and the theater will give you hours of relaxation. Great transformations will happen when you have creative opportunities. Whether you are in a leadership position or amongst influential friends, your awareness of connectivity impacts those in your circles and opens them to sharing common goals and objectives.
You are a healer at heart, and would do well in the healthcare field, perhaps teaching people to maintain a positive self-image through artistic creativity. Later in the year, make sure to take more time for walking in nature, gardening, relaxing in health spas -- places where you can freely connect with your deepest self. Your spontaneous and impulsive nature makes for a very physically active year. You love sports, dancing and other physical activities, which will keep you feeling young and vibrant. - - - - Maybe I should go into art therapy!
the ghost becomes a lamb and the lamb becomes the goat and the goat eats the heart of the king whose jester laughed himself to death and all the prisoners were freed everything petty and everything with gravity all is lost the light escaped
02 The Ox in the slaughter house moans 03 The Dog at the wintry door 04 And he wept. & he called it Pity 05 And his tears flowed down on the winds
06 6. Cold he wander'd on high, over 07 their cities 08 In weeping & pain & woe! 09 And where-ever he wanderd in sorrows 10 Upon the aged heavens 11 A cold shadow follow'd behind him 12 Like a spiders web. moist, cold. & dim 13 Drawing out from his sorrowing soul 14 The dungeon-like heaven dividing 15 Where ever the footsteps of Urizen 16 Walk'd over the cities in sorrow. 17 7. Till a Web dark & cold, throughout all 18 The tormented element stretch'd 19 From the sorrows of Urizens soul
the lamb becomes a dove becomes a snake becomes the snake that bites the heel nothing is lost no light has escaped
