bell hooks and Kim Hyesoon on Transgression and Creation
Every day, in this strange new world of unprovoked wars and a hyper-corporatization of everything, my husband and I are trying to find ways to live a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and sustainable. This week I found solace and solidarity in the essays and art criticism of Art on My Mind by bell hooks and the strange assortment of blog posts that make up Lady No by Kim Hyesoon.

“And, thinking of this judgment I would no longer be able to change, I suddenly felt a kind of relief, as if peace could come to me only after the moment when there would be nothing to add and nothing to remove in that arbitrary ledger of misunderstandings, and the galaxies which were gradually reduced to the last tail of the last luminous ray, winding from the sphere of darkness, seemed to bring with them the only possible truth about myself, and I couldn’t wait until all of them, one after the other, had followed this path.”

“To fall in the void as I fell: none of you knows what that means… I went down into the void, to the most absolute bottom conceivable, and once there I saw that the extreme limit must have been much, much farther below, very remote, and I went on falling, to reach it.”

I envy slow readers who absorb and enjoy. My process is more of a driving obsession. Some books, like those on my physical to read shelf, will eventually be dispensed with. Others will serve as reminders of things I meant to think about. And the rest will haunt me until I read them and check them off the list.
When will you read all the books on your list? Some how I know you will eventually - you are amazing there girl. I'm such a slow reader - it takes me long hours to finish books. My list is overwhelming for me. You rock girl.
