Random Stuff, Fraught with Peril: the impression of stillness

Random Stuff, Fraught with Peril: the impression of stillness
   or,
    A RECORD : I do not want to be living in a French film (I do not want to be living in any film at all)

The record is almost as good as having had the experience. Thank you.

Longing is a good starting point for art. It is even pleasurable at times.

Describe: The illusion of connectedness. The illusion of illusion:
   That trumps everything—
Say this again:

(I do have my demons.)    There's lots of dark out there.

Balance is not stasis; it is constant motion.

Reason does not keep petulance at bay. (Theory is great, but practice makes perfect?)

and I keep talking myself into corners I didn't realize were there.

I haven't yet run out of wine. But I note I am running low. There is dust on the screen and I do not wipe it off. It sparkles. I note that too.
I am sorry if that was the result.
I'd like to respond to this logically.
It is a different kind of place. The anger is hard to attribute. It resembles the anger one expects to find in parts of the South. The lushness is almost oppressive to a Westerner.

Consequently, I have to say that both truth and reality are illusory.
