i love the way that things fit together.
for instance, when you one day finally notice the subtle curve of a
friends back, when you’ve looked at that same back, day in day out. then you spot the beauty in your cats back, a
horses back, a complete strangers back. . or when you have a broken leg, you notice so
many other people with broken legs, when a week before you could have sworn
you'd never seen someone with a broken leg before. i've never broken my leg,
but you know what i mean. i like to see
patterns in the world - it's a common human trait, trying to exert control over
your surroundings. according to this
article, it's ridiculous - we're drowning in a chaos sea and nothing means
anything at all. meaning and pattern are all in our minds.
but that's quite enough for me - what else do we live for? lately, i've been
seeing patterns in neon lights and in balloons.
the best thing about neon and balloons is it's not just about them. they create an atmosphere. neon and balloons make people feel happier,
which is why you see them at funfairs and in casinos.
i see them out at night, on my screen, in beautiful shots, floating
in the air, on signs, in magazines, in kids hands. am i plugged into the zeitgeist? have i been walking with my hands in my pockets & eyes half open? it's
entirely possible, in fact, i know it's true.
