RETURNING TO SILENCE: an artwork and conversation about connectivity IMAGE: A digital collage with images of Sen no Rikyu, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, some Mayan warriors, sea shells, computer code, and geometric shapes. Tim: (shaking his head after looking at an artwork) I can't make any sense of this image. How about you? Min: (shrugging his shoulders with indifference) It seems disjointed. However, isn't that the way many of us feel at times? Rea: (nodding) I certainly do more than occasionally. My life seems like a badly written play performed by a third-rate actor. Ting: Be gentle with yourself. Up close, almost all of our lives are farcical. However, there is a music to the madness. Satoru: (chuckling wistfully) I guess we need to learn to find the "music" within the noise. ===================================================================================== from Lit-A-Rupture: A Post Literary Construction by T Newfields SUMMARY: Some thoughts about chaos and connectivity.
