'if'...
Thoughts, wrote Nietzsche, are shadows of our feelings: always darker, emptier, and simpler than these. And the written word, it strikes me, is but a shadow of our thoughts.

. . . can't remember the source of what i'm about to write . . .

. . . when we remember it comes out slightly different each time . . . modern theories of memory revlove around the idea of fragmentation . . . different elements are, apparently, stored in different areas of the brain and it is not so much the cells that are important in the act of memory, but the connections between the cells, the synapses, the synaptic connections . . . these connections are constantly being made and remade (being fabricated as i write) . . . the process is called sprouting.

so what i'm getting at is that re-membering is essentially not an act of retrieval but a creative thing, it happens in the moment, it's an act . . . of imagination . . . [like an act of theatre in the moment]

Proust wrote: "The only true voyage of discovery, the only really rejuvenating experience would not be to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees."


"In everyday life 'if' is an evasion, in the theatre 'if' is the truth. In everyday life 'if' is a fiction, in the theatre 'if' is an experiment." Peter Brook -- The Empty Space
