Oran Etkin with Lionel Loueke, Makane Kouyate and Joe Sanders

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free

"Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy bench
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow


Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow"

the journey - not the goal

Sartre, Nausea, quote

“I think that is the big danger in keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything.” 
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

this is why i don't do it day for day, this is what i dislike about diaries... 

Sartre, Nausea, quote

“But I must finally realize that I am subject to these sudden transformations. The thing is that I rarely think; a crowd of small metamorphoses accumulate in me without my noticing it, and then, one fine day, a veritable revolution takes place.” 
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

meeting past

meeting past

this is how it can feel

to touch the past

like an electric eel

this is how it can feel

an eye, a stare

closing all space

an odour

from the cellar

to lock you inside

and a voice

rasping through

your skin

raises your stomach

and now

you are lost

for the moment,

you breathe

and breathe

until you notice

you are

alive

this is

why you don’t need

a knife to kill

it feels

good

to be alive

and ghosts

can be ghosts

we let them be

and walk inside

and out

with lizards and grass.
