“My world” depends on which of my selves is reflecting. Anne’s world is amazing, she sees without meaning so its a world of Artism. Katrina’s world is where all objects have their own entity, the flower pot is actually LAYING down, the build is really STANDING tall… its like everything is inhabitable… the plant, the brick, the cat, the stranger sitting 100 metres away. Polly’s world is kinesthetic, textural, about movement and rhythms, colored lights, color juxtaposition, Willie’s world is one of lists and facts, Da’s is an adventure playground were surrealism knows no bounds, Carol’s is a TV world where everything is cartoonic, Addie’s world is an empathic one feeling the emotion, pain and troubles of others, Marnie’s world is an island she looks out from. What is your “own world”?

my own world…the place I need to go, to find peace as well as to find answers. Perhaps that is one in the same.

my own world…where everyone insists I live, so it must be an idealistic place of believing in love, world peace, creativity and hope.

I would have to say that the quintessential definition of “my” world is that it is not “yours”
I really have and do enjoy my private worlds, but I have to say I have been privileged to share them, It may not have been Wordsworth who exclaimed “my heart leaps up when I behold a pylon in the sky” but he ought to have done, my mission in part has been to impart this joy, and perhaps that is the only thing I will be remembered for 🙂 There was a golden time when I was at Uni for the first time when I was able to share my world through a column I wrote in the Students newspaper, I made people laugh and I think that is a gift, I did it not by endeavoring to be funny, but by being me and introducing that bizarre inner landscape of mine that somehow subtly does pervade everything I produce, I am a bit sneaky about it sometimes but it is a gas to introduce sommat really sneaky into what is supposed to be a serious presentation or paper. If I fail to get an electricity pylon somewhere into my PhD thesis I am nobody 🙂
