hrm.

Geez, I didn't know that you needed a court order to change your name. I guess it's a big deal. But, the good news is, since I don't have a middle name, amending a birth certificate is much easier. Gosh, with so many people getting divorced nowadays, the court must be busy simply changing names all the time. Hrm.

In search of...






03/13/2004 - Paris, France

"The same process makes me look for the noise hidden in silence, the movement in immobility, life in inanimate things, the infinite in the finite, forms in a void, and myself in anonymity." Joan Miro. Feburary 15, 1959.

The greatest thing I took back from this trip to Paris was perhaps that quote above. It was the last quote in a series of seventeen from a Joan Miro exhibit at the Georges Pompidou Centre, posted in the gallery next to Miro I, Miro II, and Miro III. I don't know why, but it speaks to me. To find something in nothing. We all search for something, different things, yet they are desires nonetheless. We believe that in the sea of so many things which is life, there must be something. But why is it so difficult? Perhaps the argument in itself is incorrect. Perhaps the things that we know as life is nothing. Our search, then, is understandably difficult. As what is something in nothing?
