The Heart

Tomorrow morning,' the surgeon began,
'I'll open up your heart...''You'll find Jesus there,' the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed 'I'll cut your heart open,' he continued, to see how much damage has been done..'but when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there,' said the boy.

The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. 'When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up, and I'll plan what to do next. ''But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart.'

The surgeon had had enough. 'I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well. ''You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there.'

The surgeon left.

The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, '...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration.
No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy:
painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis: here he paused, 'death within one year.'He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. 'Why?' he asked aloud.
'Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?'

The Lord answered and said, 'The boy, my lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine.His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow.'

The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. 'You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll
be dead in months. Why?'

The Lord answered, 'The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for He has done his duty: I did not put My lamb
with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb.'
The surgeon wept...

The surgeon sat
beside the boy's bed; the boy's
parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, 'Did you cut
open
my heart?'

'Yes,' said the surgeon.
'What did you find?' asked the boy.

'I found Jesus there,' said the
surgeon.

Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me,
I will be ashamed of you before
my Father.'

I Am Not Ashamed.

【我道】
自分がアーティストであると決めた瞬間から既にアーティストだ
それで喰おうが喰うまいが、人に認められようが認められまいが
テーマがあろうがなかろうが、ダメだとなじられようがなじられまいが
そんなことはまるで一切関係ない
ただ、今ある自分の中の衝動を、できる限り生々しく慌ただしく派手に放出してみる
何が失敗？何が成功？そんなこと気にしない
衝動を放出しきるまで何度も何度も突っ走るだけだ

そして、そこに衝動があるのか？それともないのか？それを死ぬまで問い続ける
この悶絶の過程こそ、すなわちアート
これすなわち「我道」（by 木下優樹菜）

追記
うーん・・・、翌朝読み返すと、教訓じみててなんだかイヤだな・・・

Cat Cluster

If you see the Cat Cluster, something terrible will happen.

カエルの大群程度では異常だと感じない人でも
普段群れない動物が群れているのを見かけたらゾッとしてしまうはずだ

Flog March

　Just one week before Big Earthquake at Chóngqìng in China

【愛しきカエル様】
地震が来る直前には、妙にソワソワと落ち着かない気分になるものだが
1週間前から猛烈に非難するカエル様にはかなわない
1週間前からなぜ分かるのかは知らんが、カエル時間において、かなりの緊急事態なのだろう
近所でカエルの異変を見つけたら要注意ってことだわさ
些細な異変を察知するなら、日頃からカエルの素行に気を配っておかねばなるまい
カエルを敬っておかねばなるまい
世界中のカエルを絶滅の危機にさらす、脅威のツボカビ病に負けるな！
頑張れ！ぴょん吉！

追記
DZgunrockが所長となって地震予知研究所を設立するなら
カエルを含め、地震に異常行動を示すあらゆるアニマルの脳波を
常にモニターしておくような仕組みを整えるだろう・・・
かくして、地震の警報は「カエル５、ナマズ４、ヘビ３」などという形で配信され
それを信じるか信じないかは庶民に委ねる
警報は発するも信憑性を大衆に委ねる前提なら、ミスがあっても文句はあるまい

The things you (I) think about in the bathroom on an airline.

nobody@vox.com(Patty) — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:51:06 -0700

in the air

When you flush the toilet on an airplane, does it all just go whooshing into the atmosphere? Does the doo doo (did just write that instead of shit?) and toilet paper and stuff just disintegrate? Does any of it make it down to the ground?

People would complain if crap started landing in trees and such, right? I mean, with all the air travel every day, that would be a lot of really nasty stuff (shit) flying around in our air, right?

Does anyone know what actually happens to it? Are airplanes basically just sky outhouses?

SOLO
Liszt - La Campanella by Yundi Li

ユンディ・リのなんと輝かしきピアノ
15年間、ショパンコンクールで優勝者のいなかった中で優勝した超逸材
そんな肩書きはともかく、これまで聴いたカンパネラとはまったく違う
これまでのMIXが全部チープに感じてしまうほどの煌めく響きに圧倒される

昔のgunrockサイトを振り返ってみたけど
なんだかその頃の方が生き生きとしていたと思える
世界に向けて日本語のテキストを封印してきたが
（決め事を作らないというのが決め事だったのに）
日々の他愛のない個人的な思いを綴るのは、やっぱり生きてる上で必要だよな～
語れる友人は極めて少ないし・・・
別に、誰にあてて残すわけでもなく、結局、何度も振り返るのは自分だし
自分の母国語を使った自分自身との対話が日記のあるべき姿だったと気づく
また、支離滅裂なネームを自由奔放に刻んでいくことにすべぇ
