Life: An Outline


 

Life preserving –

Asceticism to will to power

The idea was neither to live nor die.

Can you make bricks out of ideas?

We build idols but we worship the idea.

Even churches require bricks.

At some point we discovered the more beautiful we make our art, the more hideous we become.

It was the body’s frustration of never achieving the ideal that broke the spirit and exhausted the limbs.

“The spirit is in the bone,” ~ someone else said it.

Martyrs are more convincing unnamed.

 

Life enhancing –

Suffering to happiness

                Pleasure or longing?

                Fulfillment or striving?

                Full or hungry?

                Drive or reward?

 

Life enchanting –

Science to wizardry

                The world is infused with images of atoms.

                An age obsessed with the senses.

                The transcendence of language is silenced.

                Essences and causes are magically returned.

                The world gains luster and believability.

                Connections remain in the minutest corner of the largest inventions.

                A world is explained therefore it is.
