The first topic addressed: Seeking and finding answers through repetition, and the attraction of the familiarity found in repetition.
I gather pictures from my almost daily walk. Same place, completely different result. Thoughts on the subject resulted in the text:
Repetition
Locked in a series of movements
in a frame made of gestures
circling words
and behavioral loops
that I had to repeat
(until I broke through)
I learned that progress is a spiral
and that there is no such thing
As repetition.
Although I memorize the steps
I follow the sequence
I copy and paste
the half-empty days
and their dummies for reference:
A sunset, a beach, a building.
The pattern is similar but
there is no identical point in time
and each repetition brings me closer
to a still escaping answer.
But
even after I quench my question
I keep going back
to the comfort of the familiar
because after all
I am just a creature of habit.
The book was made using FLOSS tools. The images were edited with GIMP and the typesetting with Scribus.
