You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

March 16th, 2017 marks the 14th year anniversary to Rachel Corrie’s death where she was killed by an Israeli bulldozer that ran her over while she was trying to stop it from demolishing a home of a Palestinian family in Gaza. 

Rest in Peace Rachel.

LOVESONG OF THE SQUARE ROOT OF NEGATIVE ONE

l am the wind and the wind is invisible, all the leaves tremble but I am invisible, bloom without flower, knot without rope, song without throat in wingless flight, dark boat in the dark night, pure velocity. As the hammer is a hammer when it hits the nail, and the nail is a nail when it meets the wood, and the invisible table begins to appear out of mind, pure mind, out of nothing, pure thinking. Through darkness, through silence, a vector, a violence, I labor, I lumber, I fumble forward through the valley as winter, as water, I mist and frost, flexible and elastic to the task. I am the hand that lifts the rock, I am the mind that strings the worm and throws the line and feels the tug, the flex in the pole, and foot by foot I find the groove, the trace in the thicket, the key in the lock, as root breaks rock, from seed to flower to fruit to rot, a holy pilgrim moving through the stations of the yardstick. I track, I follow, I hinge and turn, frictionless and efficient as an equals sign. I flip and fold, I superimpose, I become location and you veer toward me, the eye to which you are relative, magnetized for your revelation. Hook and bait, polestar and checkmate, I am your arrival, there is no refusal, we are here, you see, together, we are already here.

He was a master storyteller, and a master baby whisperer, having rocked my 7 month old to sleep in the middle of shooting our episode of @PartsUnknownCNN in #Gaza. I wasn’t sure what to expect of him, but upon first setting foot in Gaza where we met, the first thing he said to me was that he was absolutely dumbfounded at what he’d witnessed in the West Bank and Jerusalem. “That is something seriously (expletive) up. And one has to see it to believe it. I told the Israelis-you are not gonna like the cake you’re baking-it’s only a matter of time before it implodes.” He also later confided to me that the episode almost didn’t air “We fought like hell, though, to tell the stories we did–best we could tell them and I’m, on balance pretty happy-though definite reservations. In any event, all the right people are infuriated.” The Peabody Awards describes him best when they said “He (was) irreverent, honest, curious, never condescending, never obsequious.” RIP @Bourdain

PAST LIVES (2023) dir. Celine Song

- But why are you immigrating? Na Young's father is a film director, and you're an artist. Why would you leave all that behind? - When you leave something behind, you gain something, too.
