My friend, the poet Paul Hunter (who can be found here) posted this on facebook today, :
“I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic
than we currently believe--but just as irrational as sympathetic magic
when looked at in a typically scientific way. I wouldn't be surprised if
poetry--poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled
with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs--is
how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song.” ― David
Byrne, Bicycle Diaries
I like to think that this is the world I inhabit.
You?
If only.....
ReplyDeletethe world certainly isn't logical...and it's up to us to make it into a song, or a poem, or, or....recognize the patterns and celebrate them and make meaning out of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm singing right along...
