try to imagine...




from the beginning of Time, there was nothing you had done which you wanted to do again




all you have ever seen is the dark and shades of black and dull grey




all you have ever known is loneliness




and you think the way it is, is the way it will always be




then, perhaps by accident, or, more likely, you had no choice but to persist into infinity, you discover an existence that has endless combinations of colour




this new reality also has a never-ending series of forms




it also contains a type of motion that becomes more astonishing the more you enact it




and if that wasn't enough a strange feeling accompanies this motion and we shall call the feeling exhilaration




now the loneliness of your past is replaced by an even more distressing circumstance... you have found something that is inexhaustible and so desirable your one and only thought is that it must be experienced by someone, something, anything else, as well




the need to share becomes a yearning that produces a feeling more agonising than any tribulation you have hitherto experienced




via experiences and feelings this person cannot imagine Inventive love
