StatueOfLibertyProtesting

In the wake of the vulgarity, on the MLKย day weekend, it was hard not to see this as the Statue of Liberty protesting.

Three score years after Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech, the urgency seems not to haveย weathered.

A Forgetful Neuron & Ariadne’s Thread / ๊นœ๋ฐ•ํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ ๊ฒฝ ์„ธํฌ์™€ ์•„๋ฆฌ์•„๋“œ๋„ค์˜ ์‹คํƒ€๋ž˜

I need an aid to catch little lessons from drawing before they slip into oblivion. I feel like one of those tiny neurons, the cells that comprise the brain. Any one of them would get excited with an electrical pulse, but then would dissipate the charge and lose clue of what just happened, in just about a tenth of a second. A neuron is too short-sighted for the giant world its host lives in, where food or a mate is often not obtained with a subsecond deliberation.

I, its host, am no better though. I would be drawing one day and would be exuberant about finding a gem of an idea, but when I come back in a week or so, I would have lost the stone or its shine. Progress is often not found in my foggy horizon.

To have any hope, I will have to employ some tactics, perhaps borrowing from the neurons. A neuron fights its forgetfulness in at least two ways. It tells others what it just heard, like in a telephone game but with a more serious ambition, so that someone down the line would remember the message and remind it back when it has long forgotten what it said. It also gradually revises its phone book of synapses, the connection to other neurons, depending on who answers the call and what happens afterwards. So after enough revisions the neuron calls those neurons that answered its call or got its host goodies. The neuron thus patches its amnesia with the aid of its group and its phone book.

I may use such aids, social and material. I would discuss ideas with friends, so over time they may remind me where I was and re-excite me. They would even add their ideas on top. Attending a meet-up was a critical source of help for me to resume drawing after years of pause.

On the material side, I might look back on the trace I left to remember where I meant to go from there. I started posting works to leave the trace, but the far end of the trace gets out of sight soon. Hence a little retrospect, sorted by themes below – Ariadne’s thread I left in the labyrinth of growth.

Sunlight in winter, landed on the street,

its gossamer hand
repels inspection, but reaches close.
