tantra song
by franck andré jamme









"I have noticed in the Tantric works how the simplicity of their conventional, geometric forms is complemented by the infinite complexity of their particular execution: water stains, flaws in the handmade paper, fragments of unrelated text combine to make each work not only unique but somehow perfect. . . . It’s not just a desire for the antique or a nostalgic patina that makes the incidental marks so important, it’s precisely that ideal forms—forms plumbed from the depths of the mind, of the soul—need to co-exist with randomness and the emptiness of chance. How is it that a symbol of god alone is so dull, but when juxtaposed with a smudge or a smear it comes alive?"
Lawrence Rinder, from his introduction

Anonymous asked: is it racist that i think all babies look alike?
Yo, a lot of babies all kind of squishy and got bad personalities, but it’s worth getting to know them. Also, get your fucking eyes checked.

Anonymous asked: Is it racist to imagine every asian person participating in the NYC Marathon is actually running away from Godzilla?

Yo, you don’t need to be Asian to be afraid of Godzilla, that motherfucker is tall as hell and breathes radiation. The fuck you imagine everyone else in the marathon is running from, falling property values?

sunflower-wednesdays asked: is Snow White racist?

Yo, without taking the time to do the research into her specific story, let’s just agree that members of royal families throughout history don’t have a great track record of building their power bases without some serious human exploitation.

jennymarie2013 asked: Yo is letting balloons float up until they disappear racist?

No way, that shit is beautiful and can fill you with a sense of wonderment, as you gaze up and realize how small you are in the world and the universe, and yet, how connected we are as a family of man.
Probably choke a seagull with that shit when it finally falls back to earth, though.

on a side note:
in my head, it's JB Smoove (Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm) reading the answers aloud.
Discuss.

"Les accessoires ont un rôle important dans nos vies stressantes. Si vous sortez dîner et que vous n’avez pas le temps de rentrer vous changer, vous pouvez enlever votre veste et mettre un bijou. C’est beaucoup plus facile que de porter une robe de soirée dans le métro!"

"New York and L.A. have a lot of beautiful women, but in New York that beautiful woman will be reading a book. That, to me, is intensely sexy."
Josh Radnor in Playboy (of all places...)
