nightside confession (mad arab's lament)
i have walked one thousand and one moons
and have tasted just as many dreams
of the several sorcerers i've slain
in traversing consciousness' lattice
in seeking my raptuous crimson goddess
while dancing on the dark waters
i must have carved out my own eyes
i have rent a crack in space and time
and communed with the illuminates
which in turn possessed my heart and mind
until i danced a blackened tongue of flame
and returned to find my home had burned
and my family enslaved and chained
and the carrion of my proud cattle strewn about
strange patterns etched into my fields
still the howling from the pit
shrieks my name into the black sun
shrieks the dark night of the soul
shrieks my name into the violent
night sky nomicon
black sun nemiron (and on and on and on and on)
i must have cancelled outward sight.
reason factors not
not into this place
rites reversed oblique piquant equations
would that i had not
penned my name upon
the perfected parchment of the sages
yet i still await the wisened three
who possess neither a name or face
to speak a silent song
in the space between the letters

betrayal of traditionoitidart fo layarteb
Tradition originally meant "a surrender; a betrayal." I take this surrender or betrayal to refer to an inflexible adherence to that which has gone before. This rigidity is a form of idolatry. Tradition is a heady brew upon which experience feeds. Experience, in its turn, modifies and builds new traditions. We are the ancestors of our children's children. It is our words and works, mixed with the words and works of those who have gone before us, which will be remembered.
-- Louis Martinie
In pulling up anchor from the apex of the accomplishments of one's ancestors, to forge on into deeper and further reaches of discovery, is s/he disrepecting the foundation laid, or honouring the work in keeping it alive for those adventurers to come? Does one betray tradition in doing so, does tradition betray one in its inflexible restriction?
Are either necessary, in the flexibility of surrender?
be well and bejewell,
