Mumu's Oracular Vision

Friday, January 23, 2009

Is it possible to grasp on to an ideal, and banish the rest of the world?

Even as I script the rest of MMTG screenplay - sometimes I think this particular theme is rather unbelievable; then in a way I know this is that which each and everyone of us secrete in our heart of hearts - in that place no one goes: sometimes not even ourselves; sometimes we forget.

I think of 'you', the abstraction of an unutterable longing in my mind, I freeze-frame, suspend time, dim the lights, turn down the voices of the crowds; I curl up before your 'feet' and am happy that life could be so easy; that I could be so easily contended, sans the intricacies of living and life.

I am then reminded how powerful abstractions are for mankind - in the absence of an overarching law which binds us, one rule which all things obey beyond mortality and mutability - some of us hew a kind of perfect image out of this wilderness which basically, even as we reject it as truth, governs our lives here. For some - it is a godhead, for others money, to some an endless pursuit of forgetfulness through sybaritic pleasure, alcohol, intoxications of all kinds; and for me: 'you' -

Suspended in a void; to recall the immortal words - that should the world come to an end, but you alone remained, I would feel at peace; and the world remained but you alone departed, the world would become a mighty stranger.

And there 'you' stand, against the onslaught of the madness of the mendacious world; holding back the tides.

An abstraction with a face; I hope, one day, I will meet.

Thinking of 'you' - I feel 'sad' - but devoid of melancholy.
