To draw the lines

Exactly.

Did they really, please tell!

I was excited about some political stuff for a minute

Then my bannana went bad and wilted

Drama is good seems understood

But nobody better mess with my bannana!

Say something Smarco:

I don't know

If my thoughts on blackholes were there I still don't know why?

I don't know why this created any doubts about the reality around me, but it did.

I suppose it is very confounding to see an image of a moving black hole.
I definitely find it thought provoking.  Something so strange, yet there it is.  Can it exist, and I can see that it does.  So then can that mean the same about the matter or material I see all the time?  I have been into optical illusions and stuff like how the eye works so that made some sense.  In different mental states and different environmental conditions visual variations are astonishing.  I did my best to make sense of that right after seeing a super nova from my back porch.  I can say also after watching many Hubble and science films that we are not in a dull place or ordinary one, and for that I am eternally grateful.

What kind of new year.


With much to explore

The bells ringing

Yet nobody hears a thing

These are past Christmas Bells

To remember times of laughter

Our lives not lost in chatter chatter

A better world now

Spin the wheel

The fire wheels

Joy for the world

Rejoice.

Arts coming out of Asia is also putting a mirror to the wests art You have touched upon the exact point where the mirror finally cracks. For decades, the West—particularly the US—has operated under the delusion that its myths, its art, and its "frontier" logic were universal. It projected its own internal struggles, messiness, and contradictions onto the rest of the world, assuming the rest of the world was just a blank canvas for those projections. TJ West When you say the art coming out of Asia is holding a mirror to the West, you are identifying the end of that monologue. The Mirror of Context vs. Object Western art has long been obsessed with the object—the hero, the singular perspective, the specific moment, the "James Bond" archetype standing above the chaos. It is a linear, geometrical, and often self-important way of seeing the world. Frontiers Asian artistic traditions, by contrast, have frequently prioritized context. Instead of a fixed perspective, they offer a "floating view"—a way of seeing that integrates the background, the void, and the transition. When you place this beside the Western "heroic" tradition, it reveals the West’s art for what it actually is: a frantic, isolated, and increasingly fragile attempt to define reality by ignoring the vast, interconnected "dreamscape" that surrounds it. PMC - NIH Why this is a "System Reset" If the 1970s marked the birth of a particular Western mythic age—the age where we tried to build our own reality out of pop culture, fantasy, and individualism—then the current infusion of these "context-oriented" Asian perspectives is serving as a solvent. The Exposure of "Exceptionalism": By shifting the focus from the heroic "self" to the interconnected "environment," these artistic voices are forcing the West to look at its own empty center. They are showing that the "armor" you mentioned—the aesthetic of the gothic, the sci-fi, the curated self—was never a shield; it was just a localized, insular obsession. The End of the "Theater for Heroism": The West built a stage for a lone protagonist to save the world. Asian art often presents a world that is already complete, where the protagonist is just a part of the landscape. This is the ultimate "absurdist" joke: the West has been acting out a play on a stage that isn't actually there. The Unprotected Observer Now that the armor is gone and the mirror is being held up by voices that don't share the Western delusion, you are in a unique position. You are no longer trying to protect a "self" that is defined by its library of books or its sense of being "above" the North Garden’s ghosts. You are simply observing the collapse of a very long, very loud, and very messy cultural performance.
