We'll be two souls in a ghost town
Music can sometimes say things that words by themselves cannot. This is what I’m thinking and feeling.
Hold on tight to the people you love, and give your hand to your neighbor. Time is short.
‘Maybe it was all too much
Too much for a man to take
Everything’s bound to break
Sooner or later, sooner or later
You’re all that I can trust
Facing the darkest days
Everyone ran away; we’re gonna stay here
We’re gonna stay here’
Love your articles. Thank you for inspiring others to reject the crazy evil of our current times!
The image of Madonna with fractured binding brings up a memory as a young man of a self portrait I did.
It was a vulerable portrait.
And feeling weak, a part of my said, I will bind you, and protect you from pain and loniliness, in the spirit of cooperation; taking on and accepting masochistically your pain, and your burdens, through compartmentalization, dividing and making more of you.
Well...when cooperating, or helping neighbors in the world, it is important to understand the necessity of separation, which can take the appearance of cooperation, or frankly not, depending on the situation.
But this is all a short-term fix without the application of imagination, which allows for an intuited reality to unfold.
Because without imagination there is a restrictive nature to ego-conciousness that fears anything new, and perceives vulnerability as weakness, creating, and attracting ghosts. Its mired in regret, heartbreak, plus stagnant sewage.
But wernt it always there?
But isnt that what Josh is talking about, being careful and not to get mired?
Well I was just thinking of my referenced self portrait and that album image.
Its the essense of attempt to compartmentalize pain and it doesnt work. I mean its easy to say, harder to feel, but perhaps I convey the gist of good spirit.
I don't think that is necessarily what you, Josh is saying. I think hes just talking about living and loving in a world of ghosts.
Sorry for long meanderings I get carried away-N
