Aways Enlarge
Hey John,Here is the Pascal quote I was trying to recall last time we talked:
"The reason of effects.--Lust and force are the source of all our actions; lust causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones."
Take my religion, please.
This is theology like Soupy Sales: A Pi in the Face.
Well, that's the way it is . . . these days . . .
Ad infinitum is the new End Of Story
Over-fed is the new hunger
Abject poverty is the new filthy rich
Noise is the new signal
Manic Depression is the new Calm Elation
Betrayal is the new Loyalty (Sarah Palin)
Capitalism is the new socialism (Bank bail-outs)
Infidelity is the new Family Value (Take your pick)
Plagiarism is the new Originality (Every DJ alive)
Destruction is the new Creation
Randomly splashed paint trays are the new exactitude

hey mpls
i can recognize it
even from shadow of the sculpture
that is a severe statement from pascal
thomas would speak of the passions
as being somewhat neutral
not subject to moral concern until the actions begin then the moral concern begins
the buddhists tend to see all suffering as a result of desire
what pascal means by force and involuntary actions is strange and interesting
in the human domain could it refer to the force exerted by the powerful upon the weak
or is it the energy of the world which keeps us doing things even things against our wills
it seems his notion of Lust is bigger than modern usage
immediate information is the new
deep reading
how to entertain the people saturated with sound and image
i reprinted your previous poem
