The Surrealist Manifesto
"Surrealism will lead you to death. Which is a secret society." Andre Breton Those who posit that we can "confirm" the reality of our physical, workaday, conscious existences would do well to remember that logic is no facilitator of truth in this regard, as a dream narrative operates on its own internal logic as well. In the midst of the Dream, we find ourselves living as if dropped into the midst of a world we completely accept as the "Real World," at least in the context of the dream. I was the other night holding a coconut over the edge of the top story of what I took to be a car park (one that might have obsessed the late, great J.G. Ballard, a student of subconscious mechanisms). I let it drop, watching as it descended to the pavement below, expecting it to disintegrate. Instead, like a rubber ball, it bounced upward, just out of my grasp. What is to be implied here? Obviously a metaphor for thinking from the subconscious mind. My coconut didn't bust on the ground after a hard fall but is projected, like the little ball belonging to the princess in the story of the "Frog Prince" upward, returning from the recesses below--but just out of my grasp. Is my mind then, as a developed entity, just beyond the reach of my fingers? (Of course the "nut," and the fact that it didn't "bust," brings to mind the act of copulation, marred by impotence, and out of the masturbatory "prying fingers" of the Dreamer, calling to mind a common vulgarity popularly used which I won't repeat here.)

Math Can Be Art, But Why Can't Art Be Math?
"......when I look at a mathematical equation I see a piece of art in a way. Usually there are numbers and letters and various kinds of symbols arranged in a specific order just like a picture to decipher and understand."

Brushes of Destiny
In the quiet, quaint town of Willowbrook, nestled amidst rolling hills and a lush, emerald forest, lived a young woman named Clara. She was not your average twenty-something. Clara had a unique gift – the gift of transforming ordinary canvas and paint into the extraordinary. She had an artist's soul, but her talent was far from ordinary. To her, every canvas was a window to another world, every stroke of her brush a step into the unknown, and every color held a story of its own.
