I’ll be back from my Space Odyssey sometime tonight…and then I’ll return to full-time blogging.
But I’m beginning to experience the symptoms of blog-sickness – a sort of aimlessness, a need to find a computer with an Internet connection, and a restlessness that can best be described as mercurial!
And so, here’s a PostIt note:)
You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature.
– Bernard Berenson, An American Art Critic, who now critically examines art from the heavens.
My thoughts:
Mr. Berenson, thank you for your kind directions. I will try to parody and make fun of “almost everything” – because the universe is indeed a caricature of what it should’ve been. We, the ever-growing, amorphous, tumorous mass of humanity have already transformed ourselves into a caricature with little help from me or any other caricaturist. Now all that can be done is to “parody and make fun” of it…until we can. We are all rushing downhill, trying to escape the monster that we created and that we now cannot outrun! So the best we can do is – realize that the world has indeed become a caricature and laugh at it…before we are overcome!
Let us fool ourselves all we can, and for as long as we can – but the fact remains…we have pressed the button – and we are on self-destruct…with no option to abort!
I think there is something in what you quote Shafali, it is all so absurd that one can only laugh – and try to get the world to laugh at itself.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your partial agreement with the thought:) Humor often can succeed where everything else has failed.
Warm Regards,

You’ve written some profound but melancholy and gloomy lines. I wonder if they are actually true. Anyway, welcome back 🙂 I like the Blog world.
