Composition and Interpretation.

     How can one share the same idea in poetry?

     What is practical about poetry and how do we use it?

     "The mixture of fact and fiction"

     The interpretation of the poetic word. Does not belong to the speaker. Nor does it belong to the listener. It exists. Hinting. Guiding. Whispering. Soft. Gentle. The difference between the two - crossed. An encounter - a light goes on.

     What comes to mind? A sense of the concept. But how? How can we know a thing when there is nothing in the word? When the art itself does not exist? How can it point to anything concrete? But it does point. " The difference between the language of narration and the language of reflection collapses as a result " (p67)

     What is real about the dream?

     How we understand the sand castles we make.

     I stand on the edge of an abyss. Looking over. I know the abyss's name. And I call it. The echo back is familiar. It is not my own but it carries meaning. The abyss moulds my thoughts into a pathway. The abyss knows me. But I don't know it. I can only explore it by calling it's name. 

     When you call on the abyss - it will answer.

     The escape from oblivion.

      The Festive Character of Theatre

    Repetition of essence. In exploring ourselves through art - this hermeneuetic exploration of identity - we see coming to the surface ourselves, with an essence, which we recognise as ourselves - as we explore these plural essences - repetition of the theatre - in repetition itself - we recognise ourselves and explore further: ethically repetitious: moral grounding/ guiding - ourselves, we wonder/ wonder and see reflected in the other, within ourselves - what we become. Becoming is a process of exploration of the self. Of creating an essence and building upon an essence. Gadamer claims this is visible - internally - through art. 

     Art is inside.

     Extravigance is not needed - it is enough to be. In being, we fulfill a role in the group. And this role is represented by the other - as - he - is. Contributing to Gadamer's ethical balance. Harmony

      The Form of the Festival is liberated. No - the form of the festival is liberation. Subversive, free, classless, open, expressed. Contageous. Undeniable. Yet known. The form of the festival. 

     Art blooms in lack of authority.

     There is depth of scope in imitation and originality. I INTEND. The freedom supplied by art. A form of being - unique. - There is no distinction between Good Art and Bad Art here. 

     Only what we intend. Only what we produce and by creating. What we create - intend - We take an active step. Making our reality - consciously - froming but also believing, our perspective, composed by many - differnt colours. We participate fully, believing our creations, mixing our colours, we become ourselves, more, when we engage in art. The way forward is intended, but it is also limitless. Every encounter has the potential to change one. And when we open to this possibility, Art becomes real - functioning tool for us going forward. As we develop and mold ourselves - enjoy and inspire, Become more than we were before. The point, ultimately is to Be. Open. To. Being,
