JP Sears: WAKING UP FROM A COMA IN 2022

Perspective on what is, is not, was, will be, was is, is not . . .

Open, Open OPEN! WE MAVERICKS ARE “CHROMATICS”

August 22, 2022

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post, and Michael Driver does a great job  in delineating what it means to be actually, purposefully, FREE.

It reminds me of a conversation last night on the patio, where former Green Acres Village resident, Andreas, a concert pianist, was educating someone who said he preferred Brahms to Franck, because “I didn’t know how to listen to Franck.” (This was in reference to a recent concert, featuring this pianist and both composers).

Andreas explained the difference by saying that Franck’s music, composed much later than Brahms, was not composed in a single key (a single frame, you might say). Instead, the Franck was “more chromatic,” in that it contained both lots of sharp and flat notes, plus kept shifting keys, each time opening the piece to the unexpected, thus placing the listener continuously “on edge.”

Remember, in permaculture, “the edges are where the action is.” That’s where two or more species, frames, assumptions, etc. CLASH, and the resulting frisson works magic. The more edges, the greater the aliveness. Space opens, to reveal new possibilities, over and over and over again.

We mavericks, one might say, are chromatics.

 

Mavericks, Unite Against the Madness

 

Excerpt:

“I believe this reckless conformity, this fundamentalist belief in models, this insane desire to centralise, this monoculture, is an attempt by the WEF Borg surgically to remove serendipity from our lives. The removal of uncertainty is the only way they can get their models (prophecies?) to work. But why is Random so important?”
