Beth, reading that Deleuze quote feels like there's something of a solution to many things; minor and major, micro and macro, cooking and the Gross Domestic Production of first world nations.
It sits well with me at the moment. I'm currently - and slowly - reducing the things I own and am responsible for. It's like a cleaning exercise I begun when I arrive back from travels. The idea was to free up my life a little - perhaps also a fantasy I've cooked up from the cool protagonists in Haruki Murakami novels (Wind Up Bird Chronicles, Kafka on the Shore).
It's hard though. The only good it's bought so far is that I'm finding things I thought were lost!… and then thoughtfully abandoning them.
"to what extent should one involute?"
There's the rub.
Criteria! Discipline! Vigilance!
Easy approaches aren't immune to difficulty.
Simplified ≠ Easier
or maybe it does sometimes.
I like to talk, draw, paint and write because it's the most straight forward option to working with an idea or feeling. Although I struggle with these things. Especially talking. which should come easiest as it's closest at hand (um… mouth): too much, too little, too stupid, too boring, too distracting.
On that note, Beth is sitting next to me as I write this. I was going to respond to her post through a little chit-chat but thought I'd leave her alone to her work.
Is that being involutionary?
Hi Beth. You look busy.
