urban epiphany

sometimes one just needs a different view of the city for once hidden avenues to be revealed. a change of perspective can have a magnimonious impact on the entire macroverse.

for more street philosophy, astra taylor's documentary examined life which follows a series of contemporary philosphers wandering modern metropolises & providing their own bent on modern culture is playing at this year's possible world's canadian film festival, one night only, this saturday.

there's a Q & A + screening of canadian short film frog [dir. austin andrews] with guest appearance by sydney screenwriter, matthew clayfield. i will be there, amongst others to soak up the gutter spawned wisdom.

later at the red rattler, our punk monk propaganda tribe in conjunction with the canadian film festival in honour of counter culture doco, know your mushrooms are also creating an installation & overall ambience for the event.

come dance in the fly agaric mushroom circle with us crazy conciousness traversing faeries & soak up the magical projections... cult director rod mann is also flying out from canada for the screening.

rock, paper, scissors: awareness > illusion

the photos tell the tale of a perfect day...

Jo Dise So To Hai Nahin,

Hai So Kaha Na Jayee

Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave,

Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana

Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho,

Achraj Hoye Ayana

Koi Dhyave Nirakar Ko,

Koi Dhyave Aakaara

Ja Bidhi In Dono Te Nyara,

Jane Jananhara

Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee

Matra Lakhe Na Kana

Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay,

Surat Nirat Jin Jana

What is seen is not the Truth

What is cannot be said

Trust comes not without seeing

Nor understanding without words

The wise comprehends with knowledge

To the ignorant it is but a wonder

Some worship the formless God

Some worship His various forms

In what way He is beyond these attributes

Only the Knower knows

That music cannot be written

How can then be the notes

Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion

Kabir: 1398 - 1448
