BREAK THE SURFACE

_______________________________
To ride the unbalance* between:

1. excellence and a kind, singular and porous identity that contains some of the scruples, humor, humility, musicality & the beauty of a harsh and confusing, yet benign and rich reality – away from distractions.

2. the stupidity and blindness of complacency, violence, injustice, pretense, egos, short-term… wishful… and group “thinking,” and empty talk – in all of their surprising embodiments. And the false sense of fullness all of this provides.

_______________________________

An appeal for a world NOT so caught up in anthropo/ego/euro/ethno/oculo/esthetico -CENTRISM.

_______________________________

1. Beware of those who claim to be strong – they are often dangerous.

2. Unmask the hoax of “centrality” – ask an “EX-centric” for assistance?

3. Perceive the arrogance of normalcy: everybody, in one way or another, is handicapped… which brings us back to 1.

*Not unrelated to “There is beauty and there are the humiliated. Whatever difficulties the enterprise may present, I should like never to be unfaithful either to the second or the first.” — Albert Camus
