Track 0: preface (FLOWer raPtURE)
Preface;
Joseph Campbell: People say that what we are all seeking is a meaning for life, I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking, I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive. So that the life experiences that we have on the purely physical plane will have resonances within that are those of our own inner-most being and reality. And so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
Preface;
This performer and this performance recognizes itself among many beautifully useless existences for which has allowed itself to surface from what is unknown to its writer and creator, me. This is simply a gesture for me to hopefully recognize and establish a connection with myself. For me this is easier than many things, simply out of fear. Could I say this to you, if we were in a room together?
Fear pushes me in many directions as I have often run from it, and this is how it surfaces. By no means do I, the writer, understand what is going on. Many things will be forgoton, changed and need continuous work before this may actually be correctly performed, whatever that means. The failures of this should be recognized, pointed out, and criticized to their faults by you, the listener. I rely on your honesty to magnify the imperfections of this happening; to prove its uselessness and futility as a reminder to move on, and do something else in hopes that it may be better. And with a little luck, this may or may not be as misunderstood as it will be forgotten.
So excuse my attempts at any clarity, it is merely my imagination trying to cope with other harsh realities that we all to some degree adhere to. That being said, I hope you enjoy whatever you want to call this. And, yeah, I’m just going to keep trying to reach out here… ‘cus I don’t really know what to do.
