I adore the wilderness of expressionism striving for novelty, establishment and survival
:: 00.00
Upon Friday the thirteenth
I stared at the clock 00:00 and it stared back
Its a comedy in mirror image
Sundries versus semiotic;
the banal versus the academics
A new facelift; a design makeover
We are the superior race
closing in on total destruction
Wipe out
Wipe away
the overbearing tears
Believe in the good
surpassing evil
Believe in the basic
simplicity
True grace
is of utmost benevolence
One that exist for us earnestly
and secularly

:: Meek
The wet hair drags down all that is trivial and imposing
The make-up is worn to minimalist
The chilling condensation down my back trickles so microscopically
The grunting outside the windows flickers and fades away
My mind is captured by the cold that surrounds and entraps me
There is a hallow creating echoes that dive into my heart and hurt me
Like an understudy, I yearn to read and be read
:: Blue nights and bathing angels
There is no boundary when it comes to the world of fantasy and make-belief. This experimental sphere is dedicated to the free spinning forms and ideas that generate an awesome glow of energy too intimidating for the logical minds. In this world of chaos, it is a balancing art form to create an infinity sphere of creativity. No guidelines or rules, just a wilderness of expressionism striving for novelty, establishment and survival.
Ideation is the process of creating new ideas. An escapist would ideally finds solace in such a process or psychological state, where the fantasy world takes over reality. A logist would analytically find methods, resources, and tools to strategically support this process in order to enable constructive outputs that can be documented and implemented. As a combination of both representations, my kind of ideation process is aimed to be both healing and constructive. To tame the wild (ideas); to conquer the wilderness (of ideas) - these have always been mankind's instinctive ambitions.
This ideation sphere is a kind of focused meditation for me where my consciousness spins off towards God's consciousness. The "Biblical Bebe" is born.

:: Razors
We just let the provocative subjects surrounding us melt away like the snowfall on early winter days. Something is influencing me not to think, but what could that something be? Swollen glands in my respiratory are made worse by the razor-edged dry cold air. If there is a further consensus to be arrived at, it might come this spring. For now, we bite and watch the tide.
:: Light and darkness
The winter solstice is round the corner, and this day has been observed all over the globe, through all the ages, by countless cultures and civilizations (some of which have come to be and others diminished/ uprooted). An observance like winter solstice makes us think about light and darkness, good and evil, and see that our world is indeed beautiful as it is terrible.
This week the darkness is depressing many. Another 5-day countdown to the darkest day of the year, and all will start to lighten again. Sunrise 9am sunset 3pm, worse still, it has been cloudy for weeks and weeks now in Stockholm (with little or no exceptions), so one ever sees a beam or a ray. My body and mind is really suffering from lack of energy and motivation. Lighting candles becomes a way to survive.
In Swedish, there is a saying, "Förbanna inte mörkhet, tänd ett ljus istället", that we should not curse the darkness, and should light a candle instead. Fittingly so, a friend wrote in Swedish (which I translated) something simple and beautiful about light and darkness, and I would like to share:
Light also bears a divine meaning. Light triumphs over darkness, just like God triumphing over the devil. Try this small experiment at home and you will see. Go into a dark room, light a small candle, and you shall see the darkness does not overpower the light, but instead is forced to fold/ retreat so that you can see around you.
Hope you find light and see new bearings, even in your darkest hours.
:: Self
Distressed and troubled in self criticism and consumption
We have been taught only one Truth to believe in
Yet we keep diverging and diversifying
Into many truths and sub-truths
And we all meet somewhere in between
Individualism, paranoia, and morbidity
We all need to define our own space and think for ourselves, and make our own choices
Do not give me an option because I would only make the same mistakes all over again
Neither give me an ultimatum because I would instinctively rebel and refuse
And so we humans have complex physic
That takes a turn for the worse when squeezed under pressure
But in given calm and grace we are our best
And then there are egos and self-ambitions
Destructive, hindering, and noisy
The display, vanity and outer presentation
Become more important than the inner being
And that is when I feel like it would be great to live in isolation
No bonds, no pre-judgments and condemnation
Nor slavery to appreciations, compliments and acknowledgment
Isolation must be the meditative process to cultivate humbleness
And isolation is attainable either in the wildest city or the most remote wilderness
Say me
Who am I and what am I to be?

:: Little brick-beings
In little Sacramento lay the lego memories of a pair of little brick-beings. These brick-beings are in love; caved in with symmetry and meanings. But their simple love gets complex when great absorbent minds grow matured, weary, tired and uncanny. Environment changes their personality and experience moulds their being. The beautiful fireworks inside became shady and disappeared. His thoughts are oblivious and hidden from her. Their dialogs are mundane like the rain. His pride and his endeavours are heavy, focused and learned. Mangled and riveted equal to him; asymmetrical to her.
