Thankful

I am thankful to be with my family this year. I am thankful that I am starting to feel apart of it again.  I am thankful for my ENTIRE family. immediate and extended. and as I am thankful, I am also hopeful they are all happy on this holiday.  

 

I am thankful for my sister. who is my best friend in the entire universe.

I am thankful for my family of friends at school. and for the new family  friendships I've made this year. 

I am thankful for my family of friends who are not with me at the moment, but will be with me at some point: Reillys, Kathleen W, Gen, etc

 

and

 

And, like SisterWolf, I am thankful for art. I am thankful that I have the balls to make it. I am thankful for my friends who enhance my life with their creativity, and I am thankful for the art of masters and the art of the experimental for inspiring an awe and beauty that we crave and NEED as a race of creatures. as the mysterious and the absurd faith inspired by art is essential to the evolution of the human  identity. 

 

 ok Thanksgiving is over now. BACK TO THE THESIS AND BEING GLUED to my computer. 

I am  thankful that my eyes haven't melted into my skull yet after staring at my computer 8 hours a day for the past month while writing this stupidfucking thesis.

 

BACK TO IT!!!

 

 this song is good to listen to while practicing your best cackle.

When two identical mirrors face each other

their cycle of self-reflection recedes forever

into an infinite exchange of self-absorption.

Each mirror

infects itself

at ever scale

with the virus of its own image.

 

Each mirror

devours itself

at every point

with the abyss of its own dream.

 

When we gaze upon a fractal, we must peer

at a one-way mirror, unaware of the other

mirror, standing somewhere far behind us. 

 

DEVOURED BY

THE ABYSS

OF MY OWN

DREAM:

SELF ABSORPTION
