Is creating a crime

Le Lapin ·

2023/04/03

Many of the posts made in Le Lapin are based in the view of platonic idealism and artistic poetism. In this post, I wish to open space to ask a few questions and offer a more personal entry. Readers are always invited to comment, and some do by email, which benefits only me. Therefore, I really wish for you to comment in the comment section. Le Lapin gives me a sense it may change forms. Knowingly these next weeks, paid subscribers will have access to the poetry read aloud and receive the PDF copies

Magnitudinal Messiahs

Le Lapin ·

2023/03/28

We live in a place that measures value and merit in some very strange ways sometimes.How many seconds are in a day? Quick, but don’t worry; I already searched up the answer for you: 86,400 seconds. As the information goblin within tends to desire more of a mechanic form of knowing:A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.Data likely forgotten if not applied or written as a task for an A.I. What else can be forgotten when the appearance of trash

Divinity

Le Lapin ·

2023/03/25

The wane in the usage of the word divinity reflects the attitude at which the mind has been treated by established fact creators. Inso as much as the mainstream media bloats perception, the notion that changing someone’s mind is either the highest form of intelligence or the deepest form of abuse. How did I arrive at that understanding? Though a lifelong pursuit of truth that does not change (regardless of what is thought), lengthy conversations with my friend and colleague, and a lot of hands on

Piles of things

Le Lapin ·

2023/03/15

Though the availability of dictionaries has reached greater numbers of people than ever in the past, including the history of those words in etymological dictionaries, the use of words remains a contention within certain psyches. This has always puzzled me, as someone painfully aware of her ignorgance, sought to find out, learn, and while at it, continue to find the truth. Just because something is obscured or challenging to comprehend or understand doesn’t mean it cannot be done. And in the loss of

Resplendence

Le Lapin ·

2023/03/07

RESPLENDENCE, 2012- 2023, film photography. The images invite the viewer into meditative contemplation on the relationships between place and motivation. Amongst the etheric, material, and afferent impressions the landforms invite transcending into realms within. The dramatic landscapes convey a reverent sense of quiet tension between magnanimous notions of nature and the role of individual human lives. The existentialist vision of nuance weaves emotion and cognition through the performative

Her Paris

Le Lapin ·

2023/03/03

Six years ago I was gifted the experience of art with my parents in Denver, Colorado. We saw HER PARIS during the Christmastime, just days before the vision in my right eye would go blurry for approximately 36 hours and then clear up. The doctors couldn’t find any explanation, though ischemia was likely the cause. The challenge on my heart and nervous system the last years has been challenging to say the least. Perhaps most challenging and also most healing was the demand to cultivate relationships

What are you getting here?

Le Lapin ·

2023/02/03

Almost nothing in my life seemed like a given; it was all put there by someone before me, who had worked for it, sacrificed, endured things I couldn’t imagine, and all in all it was on purpose. There was a choice, and it was not left up to total chance or an institution to give it. The notion that things are earned was the foundation upon which we found each other as trustworthy record makers. Trust formed by choices and choices to sort out misunderstandings. These choices could be made due to

Nature, natural, and nurturing

Le Lapin ·

2023/01/24

With growing ability and ineptness, humans have rapidly, and arguably rabidly, raced towards artificiality in the last decades. The critique of progress as witness to artificiality is based in seemingly obvious discrepancies among perspectives on life. As defined as life itself: nature and ‘it’s natural’ have become nearly meaningless generalisations within contexts such as societal morays and familial structures, both of which are brutally used to justify convicted positions of either digging heels

New-born, naked, poem

Le Lapin ·

2022/12/30

Savory Yarrow began a beautiful penpalship with me after noticing a comment I made on Rob Bresny's Free Will Astrology Page. I was disappointed by Bresny's comment as I had once looked forward to reading his astrology. He seemed to take my curious comments as a personal attack (which they were not, and I am careful to not do that), and so a new friend was born out of the passing of an ideal. Savory's poem came by Telegram on the 27th of November 2022, just hours before notice of the possible

Regulatory pedantry

Le Lapin ·

2022/12/13

Orangizing chaos, was a reductively poetic phrase I learned last winter, from Theodore Barth. As may truths go, many people say them; yet some voices that have the ability to imbue letterforms and their tenants with more gravity. Gravity formed by a myriad of vehicles: vehemence, persistence which is not quite the same as insistence, but really the voice of experience has always settled differently with me than the youth. And even that, is simply a way to organize chaos, to ascribe value, virtue or

Anguish

Le Lapin ·

2022/11/14

A human soul cannot be contained in a linear box. So what if I will always love the philosophy I could get from learning Norwegian and the profound expounding that comes from understanding a priori through English? How dangerous can semotics and linguistics be? Apparently in the emotionally charged West- very. Words are not just words. They are misused and often fail us, and yet what is communicated is not only words…people are icy, defensive, warm, and yet the leery among us are regarded as smart

Strange symbols

Le Lapin ·

2022/10/31

Awhile ago, Harriet Sundström painted scenes of hunters foregrounded by their hounds with prey, often rabbits. For as much conceptual art school as I could barely stomach after starting in on Kant around age 14 (a bit late to philosophy by Nordic standards), I began to delight and stand wide eyed in a bewildered horror at the complexity of colloquialisms evident in traditional painting, graphics, and screen printing. Never could I have imagined the decentering and deconstructionist idealism

Getting in there

Le Lapin ·

2022/10/24

Much of The Cookie Jar has been available for free. And so I often wondered the past 23 years or so when creating becomes worth charging for. Creating as done in nature is defacto. The flowers do not charge the hummingbirds to drink their nectar. However, those flowers are vulnerable to being clipped or hacked down. There isn’t evil to be found in charging fees but rather a sort of buffer layer that enables bodies to decide for themselves what roof and flooring to have around them, what kind of food

Mayonnaise

Le Lapin ·

2022/10/17

Mayonnaise is a bit like the word moist; it contains a lot of icky feelings of repulsion for some folks, and indeed contained a great lot of yuck not so long ago for me. Maybe because I had made too many salads and sandwiches working at delis, or because I was afraid of the sauce in incumbering my stride while running or hiking. So how could I regress my taste to accept the condiment I had condemned for the better part of my life? The better part being the part where I did not eat mayonnaise, to
