Innocence and Panic

Molly Roth — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:48:09 GMT

If I were to ask you to stay, I would embarrass myself. I want to, I always want to, but it means that I need you, that I need something, and I want to be something that needs nothing. I want to be solid, unflappable, impermeable, able to withstand all forms of loss with a stoic grace because that is the ideal. But I can't. I want to beg and sob and pound my fists and refuse and make sounds like an animal. But I can't do that either. I know about the inevitability of transience. I want to honor it, quietly, with effort, while I shake on the inside with everyone else.

Yours

the hardened old men with hearts of stone must die

'Our challenge is to explode the continuum of history. Empty, homogenous, uniform time must give way to the singularity of the non-exchangeable present. Historical progress is made of time, which has steadily become a monstrous materiality, ruling and measuring life. The "time" of non-domestication, of non-time, will allow each moment to be full of awareness, feeling, wisdom, and re-enchantment.' -John Zerzan, The Modern Anti-World
