iexertinertia <--> rattus rattus <--> …
January 27th, 2007A recent conversation on rats, cats, life, and other music:
Should I fly more rats over to you?
Sure! But, please, slowly! You know, they tend to multiply so damn fast.
You could get a cat to keep the rats in check in the meanwhile.
She’s welcome!
I can imagine the occasional bloody scenes.
This is what I love about music, especially Blues and Rock, I guess.
(Trying to see a link)
You mean to see the trees instead of the wood?
Rats do what Ouroboros stand for.
In absence of cats they get self-caught.
(See, this is why cats often playfully try to catch their tails, too.)
Rats and cats are like counterparts.
Essential elements of life.
You have sent me both. So life is complete.
And of course there is blood (life’s fuel).
Perhaps, there is music that tries to paint all in blue, or black, or white, bright and shiney. I think, if an Ouroboros were to play music it would be Blues-Rock.
Sure, music tries to paint pictures, but it’s most of the time too unreal. Which is what makes it addictive.
And then, it is in some way real, or the unreal is real, or it becomes real, or realized.
If everything goes in circles life seems so banal; to be born to die, to gain something to lose it later, to learn something and find that it’s useless/wrong etc. Like time passes just to be passed.
If you see it this way you can use your life’s time for whatever pleases you. Not that bad a deal.
With pleasure.
[Many thanks to iexertinertia.]
