I
want to wake up now.
What
else can you show me?
I
want to dream another dream.
Getting
so tired from the lies of the politicians, their glib
smiles, their pathetic belief that they got it all made and
that their voters are stupid and without a momory. I am so
tired of it wanting to vomit in their faces, so they might
understand that life is not only a game and that the trick
is to make people believe their deception and not transport
real knowledge. I have seen their ways too often for my
liking.
I don’t want to get these shiploads of shit from the news
and the teli, false news, bad news, rediculous news,
unimportant news, strongly manipulated news, it makes me
sick.
And
I don’t want to see all the advertisements hitting my head
and thinking all the time offering me things and experiences,
I don’t want, I don’t need, and which takes away my mind
and life. It makes me angry.
So since I have almost finished The Babylon Project
and its description of the feebleness of human thinking, I
want to leave my father the Fisher King for some time and go
elsewhere. I loved to sit with him at the river when the
animal was dragging its tail in the mud - and might come
back again when I have found another mind and dress to wear.
“Musing
as I was upon the king my brother’s wreck And on the king
my father’s death before him”, as the poet said to
me. But that state of mind might be over for some time.
So
for now, feeling exhausted by the bad traits of our culture,
feeling sick of all the manipulation, the lies and the make
believe, I want to wake up now, I want to go back and just
for the next 6 months paint whatever makes my heart happy.
It might be landscapes, it might be persons, it might even
be flowers, who knows, but it has to work for me, not
against me, as much of the culture does.
Of
course I am grateful for the opportunities, the freedom and
the luxury of out time, but I just want to find another way
– and wake up. Now.

way is seen below.
