World of Pure Energy

Some time ago, back when we were talking Dali et al, someone suggested
universes based on interactions with abstract colors and sounds. I've
been trying to figure out how to verbalize something like this, what
that sort of approach might mean. How you experience a tangible
reality, how you navigate, what it might mean.... As I was watching
the MTV post-awards show this evening, something struck me.

World of Pure Energy

An elevated camera is aimed down a large street in New York City.
Onlookers from the MTV post-show crowd upon the pavement. Trendy
celebrities flow into and out of limousines. Microphones are passed
slowly back and forth. The street is in an absent-minded languor,
unable to determine what is exciting about any of this.

A white limo pulls up. Out steps a lumpy, darkened man-form.

Its eyes radiate a pure white energy. Its hands unfold, it begins its
journey down the thoroughfare, and in its wake its power begins to
spread.

Color and energy seep into everything in its wake. The crowd is
awakened, and transformed. Nothing is distant or aloof
anymore... tendrils of color are everywhere, a scent trail of
interconnections intermixing, permeating everything in existence.

Cheers,
Brandon
