three years ago i had the opportunity to visit berlin...
the artistic sense of collaboration in many forms was happening there; i have been told, that this is not the first time that it has happened in berlin
frank barron, who researched this question of discovery and the sensibility in societies/cultures (see his book "no rootless flower: an ecology of creativity) argues that all crativity comes from collaboration be it as john cage and merce cunningham

This squad doesn't fall down behind.

Hi, Mat. When this forum started, there was little number of members. But we were able to organize one squad now. I'm glad.
This squad may be left behind now by the trench of "the battle front of the writing". But this squad doesn't fall down behind.

Unemployed unmotivated?

Why is it that unemplyment has such a negative connotation? Suddenly we find ourselves with so much time and not so much to do (opening up LOADS of time), yet, we become a bit blue and our motivation levels to write shoot way down. I thought perhaps it was just me and a single situation. However, there are many more like me, writers with time to write and no motivation to do so. I guess this is where I force myself to work through it.
Today I will write 2 more pages.............
There is my goal… Continue

Pandemonium in the Japanese summer.

I went for a certain exhibition yesterday. It is the valuable exhibition that Japanese traditional Pandemonium relates to. Unfortunately there is not the official introduction sentence by the English.
You had better avoid it in the summer if you visited Japan. Because, in the Japanese summer, there are a great many ghosts.
