The Door of Perception (with teatowel holder)

(Dont forget the Win Big with the Worst of Perth, Town of Vincent competition is running this week. get your entries in.)

The heads are pouring in by the hundreds into Oats Street Carlisle, bombed out of their gourds, hundreds of heads coming out into the absolute open for the first time…looking so bizarre and so totally smoked that no one could believe they were. Nobody would risk it in public like that…A hulking crazed whirlpool. That’s what Carlisle is like since the Circle route 98/99 bus service started.
Tom Wolfe The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

The horizontal door to perception, unaccountably nailed to window in Carlisle.

    Your head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t know,
    The piper’s calling you to join him,
    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
    Your doorway lies on the whispering window.
    Ooh, it makes me wonder.

    “The magic began to work again only when we turned down into a new suburb and were gliding between two rows of houses. Here, in spite of the peculiar hideousness of the architecture, there were renewals of transcendental otherness, hints of the morning’s heaven. Brick chimneys and green composition walls glowed in the sunshine, like fragments of the New Jerusalem”

    “Is it agreeable?” somebody asked.

    “Neither agreeable nor disagreeable,” I answered. “it just is.”

    “This is how one ought to see,” I repeated yet again. And I might have added,’ ‘These are the sort of things one ought to look at.” Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves, sufficient in their Suchness, not acting a part, not trying, insanely, to go it alone, in isolation from the Dharma-Body, in Luciferian defiance of the grace of god.
