You make it sound like I’m “leaving”.
I’ll always be “here”, in cyberspace – a place of zero gravity, a floating & dangling identity in the mix of information.
It’s never been about where we are in the world…South Africa, London, Cairo or New York – Makes no difference.
We are the words and thoughts that swim upstream through the vast current of binary code through the digital streams of the Internet.
You and me, we have no physical connection, just a reminder of thought and words.
Its about being free, freeing the spirit and coloring it in with who we are and what we feel and what we mean and how we mean it – and this is independent of where we are…
This is what we have, a message with a sender and recipient.
Contributing our works to each others galleries, and choosing which ones are the best and why and taking them home with us and using them as templates to create more beautiful works and enrich our lives.
Every day I am greatly impressed upon by the spirit that people have, and the determination and will that they have shown me. I am humbly in debt to these impressionists of the human spirit. Sometimes I ask myself, how important things are.They are only those things that I can think about and remember.Everything else, in the end, doesn’t really matter.
I take with me nothing of real importance, only that which I have in my head, and to which I still today am grateful that you’ve contributed.
I have no value in my suite cases nor in my bank balances nor anywhere except in my mind.
I’m proud to say that you are such an impressionist – I’m impressed by you!
I owe my being to the smiles and laughter, tears and embraces that I am seen, and to the characters that have defined my life through interaction and adaptation.
We maybe worlds apart, but not words apart. And if we are not this, we are in thought, embalmed and in the thick glowing resin that shapes our minds.
