It is not enough #

Got distracted with a piano today. I need a proper Device, to record this kind of thing.

In other news: the Masquers have produced The Sound of Music. More than that, they have completely and unabashedly succeeded. Counting Sister Berthe and Uncle Max among my literal kin, as I do, I went to see the opening performance on Thursday night - it is surprising, the talent that’s out here.

Reassuring, even. And I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s a reason to be hopeful, that art of this calibre stubbornly shows up without permission.

Spent a few hours this weekend in the Cermak industrial district.

You have to get back on the horse. #

You have to get back on the horse. Somehow, and I don’t know how this kind of thing starts, we have started to lionize horseback-not-getting-on: these casual, a priori assertions of inevitable failure, which is nothing more than a gauze draped over your own pulsing terror. Every creative act is open war against The Way It Is. What you are saying when you make something is that the universe is not sufficient, and what it really needs is more you. And it does, actually; it does. Go look outside. You can’t tell me that we are done making the world.
