4 thoughts on “Monday Morning Mind Map

  1. Exploring original work in museums or collections, one may need to stand at some remove from a piece for half an hour or more. Crowding in front, blocking the view of others, is not just rude, it’s perilous. Especially in an uncrowded space. This unfortunate experience once devolved on me — some tall, wide, thoughtless man (who likely thought us all equal, just that he was more equal) — in the presence of a product of Dick Diebenkorn’s Clubs and Spades period. Memory is veiled, fogged, and unreliable, but it may have been called Spreading Spade, or something along those lines. So I am penciling in at least 30 consecutive minutes over the next day or three to enlarge and gaze at MONDAY MORNING MIND MAP. Then it’s a matter of using language to comment, if I can find and organize approximative words.

  2. “And so it is that we, as men, do not exist until we do; and then it is that we play with our world of existent things, and order and disorder them, and so it shall be that Non-existence shall take us back from Existence, and that nameless Spirituality shall return to Void, like a tired child home from a very wild circus.” Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill, from their “Principia Discordia”

    “What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.” Kerry Thornley
