biographies / Art Whisperer



6pm

n that song Heaven is a Place 

where nothing ever happens

we sang that in a squat with a guy 

called Kofi 

n about 6 guitars 

n it was one of those moments 

of stillness 

as if you had always been 

sitting in that spot 








1157

interstitial spots ? 




*************************



n Julia Camerons no reading week 

would become a no cumputer week 

the idea being that we fill ourselves 

with other peoples thoughts ... 




****************



which brings me to the antar yoga 

of tortoise hood which 

is where the seed of emotional nurturance 

is germinated .... 

no tv at all ... n did you find that 

the grown ups would get very distressed

tearful and start shouting 

if they found you in front of a screen ... 






***************





n is you add all that up you'd get something like this 

just sift through what happened you could 

sift through the events 

from your ordinary boring day to find out where the magic occurred ... 


such a simple old cliche 

that people don't notice its part of the furniture 



1107am 

n this could form a magic diary 

alternative to the gratitude list at the end 

of the day to ask myself did any miracles happen  





****************



n how does that differ from being a bore 

i think to quote Sheryl Crow 

is a process of elimination



11am 

****************


those moments of pure awe 

the innocent moments when people drop their masks

n stop critiquing themselves 



n yeah tha is more what i would call 

more miraculous 

n i need reminding of that .... 

an Trix is good on that area

in order to get that I have to accept 

that nothing is happening 

something my mum use to say 

there is nothing happening out there ... 

n my brother would say 

that nothing has ever happened 

and that time doesnt exist ... 

n he would say that feeling bored 

is an achievement n a luxury ...



n she feel caught up in performancey stuff ... 




***************


the second card effect had them 

screaming n jumping up and down 

n one guy nearly ran into the traffic 


*********************

n i see you push things right up to the point 

of critical danger ... 

n you didn't seem to feel anything 

for that bird ... 



**********************



n is also what my rehab work is about 

is not just rehab is contact with 

people when i first went there i felt like 

i was a chair or something you know i lost 

any sense of being human 

n i like the word miracle more than magic 

a miracle is a bigger thing 

that benefits more people and carries no trickery ... 



******************


n there was like 'The Changes' you know 

where all the technology was blown 

up n people had to survive in 

barns n it ws cutthroat 

n this game where you had to scale 

a rope up to the roof or die 




1033am 301013


no tv at all woah we were allowed one hour per day 

or maybe two at weekends 

n would beg to be allowed to stay up 

for the horror thrillers ... 

no tv at all ... n this is the way of the future 

n how can we promote it ... 





*****************




to return magic to the place it was 100 years ago

with more immediacy and contact with the audience




837am
