Vaisvana & Photography

Basically means the life of them or life from their view, Photography Is a tool for psychedelic transcendence. The timelessness of each photograph is obviated by my preference for the grayscale, black and white. I use the Hindu ritual of Vaisvana which mean to being and seeing with meditative intensity, taking the image reel of the life you find yourself and see the entirety of all of that reality or image reel, every cobweb, every pore on the person’s face, the stones and how that reality have decided to arrange that image. It intensify your writing in light, giving poetry to photography

I use photography to accrue up the image to be used, when I get high, At the high this images become realities that I have to visit, lives I will have to live 100 years per second.

So I immerse myself into the surrounding that I am in, enjoy every smell, air and take in the life from their point of view, I am never in a haste to leave I sometimes bend down and look well before I take my photograph.

I use my phone, I act as if I am doing a video call or can’t see the phone properly with my glasses. and I take the photos without them having a clue, sometimes though I get unlucky and people see me taking their photos, and I simply tell the truth, that I take street photography and I am pardoned.

 

Militarized Tapestry

The general image of our society what it portends for the psyche of the young, Affects them the lack of trees, openness, and complete fencing of our property obviatea a possessive individualism, rather than a collective ownership of the world as the ephemeral tenants that we are. There are very few trees, shrubs and a negation of our innate incorporation with nature, You can hardly find a place to sit when outside and just look at people, nature or catch some cool evening breeze, someone is asking you “hello can I help you” they are constantly afraid, Those who even have ledges outside their fences, litter it with broken bottles and nails, so that no one can even sit on them, it’s sad.

High fences with broken bottles atop create the subconscious acceptance that one cant perch and look at the other, no one can enter into my compound and ask for simple cup of water. Get yours !!Get yours !! they say

What this crerates is a feeling of flight in the youth trying to run  away from the society from the polluition and forge their own sanity and place, rather than meshing up and finding community we become separate individuated and hurt, looking for the hard fought balm of sequesterence elsewhere but time goes and while we do, we can’t exhale find tether or the simple act of sitting outside and taking it all in.

 

 

Autodidactism And Bringing Common Place To Genius

In bringing common place to genius , media is very important, It transcendental properties takes one to ether and lightness, it ease of find and share to everyone can give people the ability to compare their reality with the ones they see on the media, Get new ideas, thought processes and temperament.  Media are cheat code to this game called life as movie is comparism while music is mind expansion.

Just like Sion Sono give your child a book and allow him do a movie review of the entire criterion collection and see if he will not be a genius. Which is basically the intention of Oddverbs Blog, oh he’s a genius, how did that happen?

Read the books on the blog, See the movies I have seen, and listen to the music that I have

It’s not that hard :HEAR, SEE, BECOME.

 

 

On The Mildness Of Existence And Interaction

You too can be gentle you too can be kind,  - Station of the cross

 

to be graceful is

to be attacked and constantly

people affixed to the nakedness of the psyche

are at the brink and desolate and can’t stand a smile

and gently considering it perverse and to be rebuked

so in idolatry they throw stones at satan

but satan is an open book culling all “halos” and how horns are alike

to see the freedom of the horns, it is not choke hold but a clip

to be discarded at resting

selective mindful and picky is gay ! to those who abrade in waste

for companionship  is not the presence of sex but the absence of loneliness

 

tell those that seek the kingdom of god

a man have to discard his worldly possession - ego death

for the kingdom of god is the kingdom of man

what is the kingdom of god? - the love of people faces, smile and helping each other

people are trying to go there, why?  if you take care of here and show love here

he will come down and be with us

just like Solaris, man needs man…

 

Man is god the kingdom of man is the feeling of home, home is small, a house could be big But a home is mostly small. Can we navigate past the itch for the smell of blood the pale of the penal tip hitting the clitoris and coitus ,move past hunger and sex and into intimacy, and devotion. Laughter sex and intimacy ours to give but problematic when its price is too steep, Even the rich man asked if heaven is worth giving all ones property for, the denigration comes with it’s shave and concession and the undoing of oneself at moments notice, takes a lot of muster but to give each it’s entity-hood and due, we are the face behind the circus clown.

This is a prison, be gentle with people for they are smoke, be gentle to people even when they don’t show it, they might be hurt, even when they seem sure and seem strong strong enough to take your jabs, be gentle it might be a coverup  a veneer to protect the yolk inside, be gentle with people, for one moment they are here, the next they are gone.

Be gentle for it comes natural for us, rather than being abrasive and hurtful we can be gentle.

Tea, Declutter  & Alabama Shake’s Sounds And Colour;

A constant effort to put a kettle on fire or plug it in, to boil a brown, beige or green substance can become very bland both figuratively and literally

But it will do us  a whole lot of good One of my habits aside the obvious blogging is the weekly trips to the farmer’s market  on Saturday for my weekly doze of biophillia and to buy on a budget of a 1000 naira, fruits vegetables

Intimated was a big pot where the northerners drank a  hot water steamed with dry ginger, turmeric, and I have tea my everyday cleanse, and relaxer after yoga in the morning.

Its Wednesday and I'm going through my monthly chore of de-cluttering and I’m kissing all of my old clothes, thanking them for being my warmth and clothing me, Alabama shakes is my adult “okay I give up no more worrying about those things, people,or even death no more worrying about these little beads on my faces,in my pocket or even death. My fears,visible for all and sundry, do I hate getting old, All I know is I don’t want to fight anymore too. This album makes me feel so much especially the song “Dune”.

When you have less things the essence of things truly appeal to you as they take on another role of support system, the cup becomes more than just a cup but a trusted companion aiding you in the journey of life, they feel like family and when they are neglected you have to give them to a person that will love them anew and when they are old and have to die kiss them and tell them that thank you. Thank you for supporting me through this journey.

 

The Art Of Doing Rubbish

The art of talking rubbish singing redemption songs in Mandarin

What memories last, you might ask, not the painful ones those we relegate to the background but those at once we were children playful and pure , the act of doing rubbish shit in the heat of our beloved bring our vulnerability to fore and en-kindle us in the mind of our beloved we have we dead we are the returning smile and singular tear drop in thought and that's life that I what is about

Do not take yourself serious in this matrix, they go after your sense of humour so that when they are done mind-fucking you become wrath and become unable to feel anything. Make days for doing rubbish, doing nonsense no matter how old you are, this is something I feel actors enjoy they get to play different role and be goofy, funny and stupid professionally. Why can’t we do the same in the comfort of our own homes, lock the door and dance like Shakira, act like the pope, play imaginary football, and play house or dress up, go crazy nothing you do in this life will ever be remembered.

 

The Hermertia of Sympathy?

One of my favorite Kiarostami movies, is the Through the Olive trees, where one of the protagonist who was interested in the female character there as they all have suffered earthquake and had lost families and friends in the quake.

He told the girl, I want to marry you, you especially who have lost both parents in the quake

The question is why, he is using sympathy as a tether to a marriage that might most likely be volatile or filled with resentment and malice as the lady never gave him any reply, I almost shed tears when he said “ Is your heart made of stone”

Why do you go after a thing that is unproductive and mitigating When we pity, we ravage ourselves its dismal. For humans to see their hurt they must get to the precipice 

If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame - Leonard Cohen

The hermetia of sympathy portends the level of intellect not taken into consideration of a face we attach noeticism to, have us we mystify sheer abandonment and depravity as panentheistic ethos our ardor comes short at the second or third. my where we barter conscience remind us that there nothing in return we return to the quest we tired of and reinvent new ways to heave when reaffirming acquiescence time ticks insouciant for us to seek first the kingdom of god if man is god. The movie Solaris says man need man So all we achieve are the repression induced.
In Jane Champion’s Power of the Dog, We see the hermetia of sympathy and how being and looking vulnerable might be the dog’s greatest strength and ability to send us up and about. Benedict’s Character fall in love with the quiet and genteel nature of the young aspiring doctor using his relationship with his Indian mentor to fall victim of a surgical blow.
But if love is pity and daycare how can we find lasting if not with sympathy, but just like Dostoyevsky said Goodness is equated with idiocy, sympathy also tow the same line, sometimes people sadly have to fall from the promontories of their precipice to truly understand the gift given to them. Painful and sad to watch but necessary.

 On Forgiveness

Basically, the hardest thing for a man to do, with a brain that has a negative bias, not remembering is actually considered a very serious diseases, but a good one if it will mean giving people second chances, especially when you are wronged deeply.

it;s like a man owning a puppy, a teething pup will practice on you, bite you but do you retaliate and bite the puppy back, no you don’t. People deserve second chances as hard as it may seem, though nothing cut can be sewn back without a wedge, give it time and it will be forgotten or ignored completely in the squint of the wholistic.

You have to forgive, why wont you forgive the instruments of your transcendence if everything is leading up to this moment.We too have wronged someone one way or the other. And we have to learn how to forgive those that wronged us.

Wickedness don't come natural for us, when we wrong others we become over compromising If we reflect well, we will see that we have wronged many people living our "perfect " lives. Rather than suffering we can take the rage, allow it have it’s day, sigh it out and know that no one is perfect, everyone is a work in progress.
