Paradoxes

To live in paradoxes is to think inside of two different pair of boxes.

Confessions of a Dinner Deviant

Permission !!!!!!!!
Site Specific character-what does the site need
spin-off character from Dinner Dance
Act in opposition to the behavior at the site-breaking social boundaries especially of the site at hand
     -act outside of the 'protocol' or dinner or gallery, etc
Examples: tying people, going outside, watching people, getting into conversations, lying down, talking loud, drinking beer out of champagne, putting lipstick on people and walls

Artist--values,
      - victoria interested in etiquette, but allows for this character/role to come to play to exist, so in essence allowing all selves of her self (and others) to be alive.

United states of tara, the last character--- the ID, just does, primitive
---but its not like that....there is thought involved, (at least a good deviant) sees the space and does what it calls for them to do
In essence, like a designer, ---actually plays many roles while being the deviant...affects the other roles... the roles are connected

Kris: deviant is the indirector (functional fairy--in a more aggressive manner, does not wait, goes and gets it done)

Outside of social boundaries: but with the thought that you cannot hurt yourself nor others (and other objects)--which is the rule to live by: do whatever you want except hurt yourself/others and pay taxes. the hurting can be relative, but be aware and responsible of what you do and only put it out in the world if you can be responsible for it being there.

Reminder

Go back to curiosity, go back to love, go back to joy. . . 

Re-Genius Fiona Apple Quotes from The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do

Fiona Apple is a Regin-ius, Regina-us, re-genius...
She is a wordsmith, she forges words into poems that cut into your senses and make you taste, smell, feel and see them as she craftily delivers them into your ears.



The rib is the shell and the heart is a yolk
I just made a meal for us both to choke on

 I could liken you to a werewolf
The way you left me for dead
But I admit that I provided a full moon

I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate

'Cause in the end I'm a sensible girl
I know the fiction of the fix

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
 

permission to remember

I keep forgetting, and then remember from the rockbottom . . . that it is all about permission, especially the permission to be yourself, or at least the permission to remember to be on the quest to find out what/who that is. Seek it and find it and share it so that others have that permission as well.

but:
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair. ― Walker Percy

That "everydayness" gets me every time, unless I am not in the time/space of the everydayness and then, the magic flows - over under around and through - me . . .

and:
Theoretically there is a perfect possibility of happiness: believing in the indestructible element in oneself and not striving towards it. ―Franz Kafka

in searching for the Kafka quote above, I found these sites and had to post these gems for reference (they are prayers):

Dance of the Demons

When two people allow their demons to intersect, they dance the dance of disaster.

Maya Angelou quotes . . .

A friend read this to me:

“Whining is not only graceless, but it can be dangerous. It can alert a brute that a victim is in the neighborhood.”

― Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now 

!!!!!!

Which made me look up more quotes, and I came upon this amazing one below. I especially love the part about the rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas lights! So simple and so enlightening. I must read more of this wonderful human's thoughts!

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou
