Saturday night I went to a concert. Melody and rhythm and the goodness they entail were in bounty. Music did what it ought to do that night and got my mind working. Thinking and progressing thoughts in and out of connections between memories and trails of things I’ve learned through 21 years of mistake making.
At one point in the concert I was the most struck with a interesting thought.
The pianist was evoking some thoughts about balance that were trailing my thoughts into symmetry. I was running through images of the most symmetrical things I have ever seen. Then the vocalist sang the word defiance and this picture got stuck in my head that created this phrase “the symmetry of defiance and compliance”
