Today, to be thankful / to be grateful,
for remembering what parts of what cinema I was sat in when I saw certain movies for the first time.
for the sharp, shining edge of a sword.
for the swords my gran kept, disguised as walking-sticks. They were exciting to me as a child. I am still thrilled by their deception.
for tastelessness, expressions of tastelessness. Words and acting as another can take us to imaginary places beyond our beliefs, outside of our beliefs, and these role-plays can help us challenge our feelings and understandings, for ourselves, for others. To play outside what is comfortable. To not pretend we are naive, where the surface level of any expression is all that is considered. Context. Context. Context.
