Water is the source of erotica. Erotics is a way of enjoying sensory experience that does not try to make meaning. When all incident experience on my emotional palette goes straight into my processing queue, when cognition is produced as a natural extension of sensory experience. Water is not liquid. That is just a form. Water is the acidic substance that our system uses as fuel to be able to conjure experience in the first place. When water and neural impulse mix, a liquid impulse is…
Can you do what nature does? Our notions of quality come from nature. We see seamless fruit hanging from the trees and we wonder if we can ever make things like that. For a long period of human civilisation, humans have struggled with the idea of quality. We have been able to make a lot of things but we have not been able to make things which are natural enough.

It is like anyone can be a mirror but no one can be an image. It happens this way because air is…
Who are you known as? Are you facing a conflicting idea of yourself? Are you unsure? Is it difficult to settle into your skin comfortably? Do ghosts of awkwardness haunt you? What identifiers do you use and which are the ones that you avoid? Do you fit into the the categories created by the statisticians and the social scientists doing demographic research? How long has it taken you to realise that seeking common cultural identifiers to describe yourself is a reductive process which gradually…
