Facing Change

Change: the process through which something becomes different.

Change will always come. Physical, emotional, personal, societal. Ideas change. Rocks change. Change is the one thing certain to happen. All things confined by time are touched by change. I may embrace or deny change. I may seek to protect myself from change, but with each moment change is taking place.

Through change I try my best to love, unselfishly. Love above all helps me to face and weather change.

For Those I Love

For those I love: May you be loved. May you be in love.

For those I do not know: May you be loved. May you be in love.

For those I have no common ground with: May you be loved. May you be in love.

For those who disagree: May you be loved. May you be in love.

For those who hurt: May you be loved. May you be in love.

Fun, Art, and Funny Art

When humour needs an explanation, it fails. I have fun during my time with others, yet humour plays no part in the visual art and music I create. Visual art invites scrutiny which counters the impulse of laughter. The funny soon turns to the bitter pill of irony and the funny is no more. Music can support humorous narrative but in my experience never causes laughter in isolation. Humour is the mild and surprising violation of the way we feel the world ought to be. Art is the search for how it is.
