daily it was - the past is the source

Cy Twombly once said, "For myself the past is the source".

And I have been thinking backward lately.

It's like when I try to get English lyrics from the songs. I pressed STOP and then pressed REWIND and then PLAY.

STOP - REWIND - PLAY.

Stop to see / listen to it.

Rewind to understand.

And then you can play with it.

I believe in thinking backward, searching for the origin in whatever you name it in the world.

To understand it deeply. Understand why it is it. What is the reason that it exists.

My cowboy uncle often tells me about the "NO READ, BUT THINK" process.

Well, I know he is way a little too extreme.

But yes, I have been thinking backward a lot lately by stopping to see and listen.

Why does PLAYBOY use RABBIT as symbol?

Rabbit is a symbol of sexual desire. (Temptation in Eden exhibition)

Why there are always the cases of the Fall of Man or the falling men and sex scandal (Bill Clinton, Hugh Grant, Prince Charles, Eliot Spitzer, etc)

Well, it was told to be the truth of the world since the origin of mankind if you believe in Adam and Eve.

From Temptation of Eden exhibition and the paintings named "The Fall of Man", it talks about 'the danger of female power & sexuality' and 'Eve's evil dominant role in the fall of man'.

Yes, that old apple story is applicable to human desire and the fall of them. It's human nature. Will always be. And the story of the Fall of Man goes on.

We are now communicating with emoticons on MSN Messenger like the Egyptian communicated with their hieroglyphs.

Blood & Flesh Breakfast served on the first page of tabloid paper is another form of voyeurism pleasure of brutality in the age of Roman Gladiator.

Old is truly the new new. And the Past is the Source.
