fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

so if you have passions for this life, indulge further and read anything/everything by de Botton. I am never bored, always fulfilled and if i gave more time to writing this post would go on forever about his understanding of the world and the way he articulates his philosophies so smoothly. He draws from the widest spectrums, fields of art, science, history etc and my favourite- literature to illustrate some of the basic and more abstract experiences in life- work, love, space (architecture) and social standing. His book on Proust falls into one of my favourite and most haunting loves in life; the concept of death and how it illuminates the living.

go on read it!everything! support young (ish) (as he is getting on) philosophers and the survival of all cohesive, umbrella thought
