“No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life,” -Friedrich Nietzsche
I've been talking less and reading more - at last!
It's so nice to read great minds and be inspired a bit more...
My days, over these last years (as I know is same same for a lot of you), have been dictated by (The) Other bullshit that escalated too quickly for most of us "free spirits" to catch on in time.
"Such 'free spirits' do not really exist and never did exist. But I stood in need of them, as I have pointed out, in order that some good might be mixed with my evils (illness, loneliness, strangeness, acedia, incapacity): to serve as gay spirits and comrades, with whom one may talk and laugh when one is disposed to talk and laugh, and whom one may send to the devil when they grow wearisome… [And] I see them already coming, slowly, slowly. May it not be that I am doing a little something to expedite their coming when I describe in advance the influences under which I see them evolving and the ways along which they travel?" -Friedrich Nietzsche
"A soul in which the type of “free spirit” can attain maturity and completeness had its decisive and deciding event in the form of a great emancipation or unbinding, and that prior to that event it seemed only the more firmly and forever chained to its place and pillar… The great liberation comes suddenly to such prisoners, like an earthquake: the young soul is all at once shaken, torn apart, cast forth — it comprehends not itself what is taking place. An involuntary onward impulse rules them with the mastery of command; a will, a wish are developed to go forward… a mutinous, willful, volcanic-like longing for a far away journey…" -Friedrich Nietzsche
I found this on a post or via some research, or somehow, in the last few weeks.
"As they did without monarchy and slavery, so they also got on without the stock exchange, the advertisement, the secret police, and the bomb. Yet I repeat that these were not simple folk, not dulcet shepherds, noble savages, bland utopians. They were not less complex than us. The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting . . . Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago and far away, once upon a time. Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it as your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion, for certainly I cannot suit you all." -Ursula Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
...but how did I find that?
goes back to emails and bookmarks, and folders and subfolders, and follows the white... trail of breadcrumbs...
Wait! I found that while I was reading up on an Art (capital A intended) exhibition!
But it wasn't this exhibition...
this exhibition was included in another exhibition that was curated by...
um...

It was another exhibition that I researched from a post on this blog.
Um... but I don't know how I stumbled on to this post. It's on that website though...
And it wasn't that post so...

Here is some more cool, decentralized, inspiration from the Nebelivka Hypothesis that I turned into some art stuff while you wait...

Fuck!
Which post was it?
...
it wasn't THIS one either!
(I'm still looking for the other one!)
...but I found this one bookmarked in my bookmarks while I was looking for the other post...
and I think you might like this one too so...
I can't find it.
But basically it went like this...
I went to read a post, on a website that I subscribed to, and found content on this guy who curated another exhibition.
Then I went and typed in the names of the artists (and their exhibitions) that the curator combined for his exhibition - to showcase their work for them.
This was one of the other artist's exhibitions that I researched from that art curator's post...
But this wasn't that curator's exhibition...
It had a good name... that curator's exhibition...but I can't remember it so...
(I'd cite him, of course [!] because finding all of those great artists and coming up with his own super cool vision is also creative work)...
Wait! I think I left his exhibition open on a tab...

I found it!
I was researching the word, word, word Bo Burnham slightly misquoted "Umweldt"...
... summink like that!
(I still can't find the original post for some reason!)
huh... um...
But it was his exhibition I found in my tabs... that was mentioned on her website and I finally found his name!
"Marco Mancuso": curated the "Umweldt" Exhibition that Maria Popova shared (I think) on her website.
Worth a look-see because some fabulous minds and some really inspiring art for connection's sake!
p.s. Thanks to 
Kisses!
