If you don’t change direction, you may well end up where you’re heading.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te King
acceleration and liberation
intensification
radicalisation
revelation
things are going faster and faster, louder and louder, becoming more and more obvious
everything comes out into the open
the pressure builds, so does the oppression
Serguei Prokofiev, Sonata 7, precipitato, Sviatoslav Richter
no more burying your head in the sand, avoiding or pretending

at the foot of the wall
in entropy
depletion of resources, increasing disorder and chaos until annihilation.
Claude Debussy, Cloches à travers les feuilles, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
sometimes a new impulse brings life back and momentarily restores balance
resilience, as long as the system lives on
in collapse
a release
the old gives way, if I let go too (identifications, attachment, the “it’s me who …”)
Caspar David Friedrich,the sea of ice
then opening
a space, new possibilities appear
in stripping away
amputation and catapulting towards something else
Francis Bacon, studa after Velasquez
definitive loss and a forced expansion that gives access to another plane
paradigm shift
in a word, it’s make or break
live or die
among the possible choices (conscious or not), they are not mutually exclusive
- die to live again
- live and let die
- live something else
and where do you stand in all this?
