merging...
"...at some point you have to give yourself over to what you want to be..."
-----------------------------
"The hardest thing to achieve in any art form--really, in anything at all--is simplicity.
"We always complicate everything, either out of dishonesty or out of a desire to show off or prove something.
Direct communication is powerful and difficult and dangerous, but whenever I could achieve it, I was good.
"You have to commit yourself wholly to your task, to your script, to your director, to everyone with whom you work, and you have to be true and clear all the time.
"That's the hard part, and we all thought it was about acting or about writing or about proving ourselves. What it was really about was exposing ourselves, utilizing ourselves.
"It's a sadistic sort of riddle I'm going to give to you, but the hardest things is to be simple, to relinquish the artist in order to become one."
- Marlon Brando/July 1990

Morning Meditation #...???
mid-day meditation
doodles: the art of attention.
attention: the art of presence.
presence: the art of merging with Presence.

thinkin...
thinkin of rita 'round about now..
they say "non of the other women, ... it never bothered you?"
she say, with a smile " ... i was his guardian angel...i had moved beyond the role of wife.."
she say " we had work to do, and i took our work serious.. Our work was
to bring the people closer to Jah..."
...
thinkin on the war on the Artist...
he attacks the Artist first, she said. ...
...
Thinkin of Erik Ehn's words..."genocide is not chance. not accident. it is policy. and art and genocide go hand in hand. Wherever there is genocide there is always art. The art is always used in its support...the killing happens to a rhythm...on the beat... be deliberate in your art...in how it will be used."
(....but still i'm thinkin of rita... the guardian of the light...
spirit realm and terrestrial realm. like written words held up to a mirror..
in this realm, in the body-- he is the provider and protector. In mirror realm, of the spirit..
it is the she.
She provides for and protects the inverse of flesh.)

Performing in Maryland Oct 20th and 21st
DOUBLE ASPECT BRIGHT AND FAIR
Written by Erik Ehn | Directed by Dan Hurlin
American Dance Institute National Incubator
October 20 at 7:30p & October 21 at 2:00p

Critic’s Pick- The Washington Post
“I don’t really see what I do as theatre. To me, puppetry is more like dance. Both rely on movement instead of text.”- Dan Hurlin
DOUBLE ASPECT BRIGHT AND FAIR is part of Erik Ehn’s Soulographie Project— a durational performance event looking at 20th century America from the point of view of its relationship to genocides in the states, in East Africa, and Central America. It aims to create channels of dialogue through art and conversation.
Hurlin’s work was chosen as theBEST DANCEperformance of 2009 by Sarah Kaufman of The Washington Post.
After ADI’s incubator, Double Aspects Bright and Fair will premiere at La Mama in New York City later in 2012.

Getting out from under...
excerpts from the day's solo performance/poetic series
not yet titled.
...I am getting out from under...
out from under headwraps,
HAIR, white men hangups.
and old secrets and shame
plant those winter flowers sis...
last night i dreamed of sand castles....
and i was on the inside looking out of doors too small for me to enter.

"...to be aerodynamic...
to reduce wind strikes
to cut through the atmosphere like dolphin fin through ocean froth
to travel the most efficient of ways
like silken black pearled crow wings slice through skies
like rockets zip to the moon..."

Water from the moon...
(Inspiration for... my mama outsides and my daddy's insides...)
Klára Kalousová from the University of Nantes in France and Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, presented the research at the European Planetary Science Congress in Madrid last week. She said that while her findings show water only a few kilometers below the surface is likely on Europa, it disappears quickly.
Kalousová mathematically modeled what liquid water and solid ice would do under various circumstances. Her research revealed that variations in density and viscosity caused liquid water to drift downward, eventually settling in the subsurface ocean.
"It means that water episodes are brief," Kalousová explained.
The ocean may be 20 to 50 kilometers (12 to 30 miles) below the surface. Liquid water could be present in more shallow areas, but would quickly travel deeper below the moon's surface.
"One opinion in the scientific community has been if the ice shell is thick, that's bad for biology. That might mean the surface isn't communicating with the underlying ocean," said Britney Schmidt, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas, in a statement in 2011. "Now, we see evidence that it's a thick ice shell that can mix vigorously and new evidence for giant shallow lakes. That could make Europa and its ocean more habitable."
Discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is one of Jupiter's largest moons. It is approximately the same size as Earth's moon and has an iron core, a rocky mantle, and a water shell with a depth of approximately 100 kilometers (60 miles) that lies beneath a bed of solid ice. Images of Europa show cracks on its surface, because tidal forces constantly shift the ocean under the ice that rests above it. Europa orbits Jupiter every three and a half days.
According to NASA, the warm temperature of Europa's ocean could be a reason for further research, particularly into the possibility of organisms dwelling in its waters.
"Our results will help to understand the formation of different surface features observed on Europa, where liquid water may play a key role, as has been previously proposed," said Kalousová. "Moreover, if liquid water areas are discovered in the upper ice shell by a future exploration mission, our results would imply that they have been produced recently."
Water near surface of a Jupiter moon only temporary
Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, has long been thought to harbor water underneath its icy crust. New research suggests that water gets close to Europa's surface sometimes, but doesn't stay there long.
Liquid water may be close to the moon's surface during some periods
of time, but it migrates back downward after a few thousand years –
the blink of an eye, in geological terms. Variations in gravitational
pull from Jupiter produce the heat that temporarily melts the ice near
the surface.Klára Kalousová from the University of Nantes in France and Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, presented the research at the European Planetary Science Congress in Madrid last week.

Breathing life back into this Blog ... Amen. Amen.
Listen to internet radio with The Funky Writer on Blog Talk Radio
I just came across this interview I did at the beginning of the summer and never posted. (It takes me a while to be able to listen to my own voice.) Well, I just listened, and i realize that it's a good entry way back into breathing some life into this blog, since it explains why I have not done so in the past year! As of last fall, my creativity has taken a rich detour---grad school. And I haven't had the time, nor known exactly what to shape this blog into in the mean time... Tonight, as I'm a lil jammed up on completing a piece of writing for my solo-play writing class ..I did just manage to begin refreshing myself on the mold-making process (for some puppets in the making), finish a painting, and read a bit of a new novel that has nothing to do w/ my course work at all... So, i'm just thinking that this blog may very well turn into a tracking-of-the-creative-process-type-of -space... kind of like a scape page for my mind...much needed! Along side my writing and performance making work, I've also put my self back to the task of a no-pressure- miniature-painting-a-day. (I don't think i've ever used so many hyphens in one piece of writing) i think i'll track those paintings here as well too! So, all this to say: prepare to see a bit of anything at this point...as it will all be bits and pieces of my mind and doings along the way to birth...
i think this may actually be perfect...
And man became a living soul.
Amen. Amen."
~From The Creation, by James Weldon Johnson
