I like the metaphor of the star because it gets to the paradox of love...stars are loaded with our meanings, embellished and mythic, yet they are totally indifferent to us, to humanity, to earth. We can love them, know them, name them, and yet never grasp them...barely even experience them, certainly not "have" them.<BR/><BR/>The piece is intentionally naive, and perhaps juvenile in its awareness of the paradox, and the sublime (I use the word consistent with Edmund Burke's concept of the sublime, as was developed in "A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful").<BR/><BR/>It is set to a music derived from Spanish guitar ballads, loosely flamenco, and was written when I lived in Honduras.KGT (aka Cagey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763973309807575484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940124.post-48752798552390119832008-05-29T11:55:00.000-04:002008-05-29T11:55:00.000-04:00I could only understand a few spanish words here b...I could only understand a few spanish words here but I kind like not knowing the full meaning<BR/><BR/>my wife, my medicine - at least I think that's the meaning- that would make a nice titlelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706027242022517570noreply@blogger.com
