Light Darkness

More From Aleksandar Hemon

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

And i saw darkness for weeks. it never dawned on me that i could come out of it, but you heal. nature heals you, and you do come out of it. all of a sudden i saw a crack of light ... then all of a sudden i saw another crack of light. then i saw forms in the light. and i recognized that there was no darkness, that in darkness there'll always be light.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "

I want as much time in the darkness as i can possibly have. the darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort. darkness usually comes around dinner, but dinner would be too obvious.

The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one that is consciously realized is tremendous. in the first case, consciousness nowhere intervenes; the end remains as dark as the beginning. in the second case, so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight. the encounter between conscious and unconscious has to ensure that the light that shines in the darkness is not only comprehended by the darkness, but comprehends it.

Put any woman in an area run mostly by men and rumors will fly. unless you make it very clear that you are off limits, there is also a certain competitiveness that sets in. some men are either trying to run you out of town or get into your pants. they don't seem to know any other way to deal with a woman. if you're not a sexual object, you're a threat.

...there was some kind of connection between the capacity to love and the capacity to love *running*. the engineering was certainly the same: both depended on loosening your grip on your own desires, putting aside what you wanted and appreciating what you've got, being patient and forgiving and... undemanding...maybe we shouldn't be surprised that getting better at one could make you better at the other.

What keeps you going isn't some fine destination but just the road you're on, and the fact that you know how to drive. you keep your eyes open, you see this damned-to-hell world you got born into, and you ask yourself, 'what life can i live that will let me breathe in & out and love somebody or something and not run off screaming into the woods?

Every good quality runs into a defect; economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully; he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious; there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of diogenes.
