O.P.E.R.A
I’m thinking that opera ought to be dissected. Well, everything in life ought to be dissected. Spread out on a beautiful table. Looked at, again and again. Digested, regurgitated, enjoyed 360 degrees. Dissect love, dissect life, dissect the self, discard of the ego wanting to reach completion. Go on.

Hedonistic Pleasure
He is the true conqueror of pleasure, who can make use of it without being carried away by it, not he who abstains from it altogether. Aristippus of Cyrene (c. 435 – c. 356 BC)

Unnoted Music — I
There is a spiritual space, physical space, mental space between the moment understood as the end of a music piece, and the moment in which no notes are left to be intonated.

And yet, we know enough not to question
There has got to be profound truth behind these emotions and thoughts that make me shiver, wet my eyes, fearless, and perpetually hunger with open eyes, in love.

An Introspective Question
I drive, and drive, towards knowing truth, wanting to understand the inner desire to uncover truth. I contemplate her, and him, those beautiful souls in the bodies of my own blood who I saw and touched as they arrived.
