About fucking time

Like our bodies require good food to operate, just as our vehicles demand fuel to spark their kinetic event, so it is with the ridiculous, clunky, outmoded, jalopy that is my meat-machine.

Every so often I encounter a mindset that so perfectly encapsulates one of my goals, fits so swimmingly within my endless, lifelong project, that it completely renews my motivation and gives me renewed purpose. Once again I have encountered such a mindset with Walter Benjamin.

"When we reach for the banal, we take hold of the good along with it - that good is there (open your eyes) right before you."
- Benjamin, Dream Kitch

My goodness. I feel like I've just had a door open in my head.

Who would like to walk through?
