Es malt aus mir - Peter Robert Keil
I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Robert Keil in Nov. of 2015.......We became immediate friends, and began looking forward to seeing his work......I purchased a Nazi 'SS" ring from his son, Benjamin.... and a couple of oddites from Peter and traded some stuff back and forth.......I need to get him together with Tina Cassati, I think......This afternoon, I'm wondering what he's 'Up To', now......
AS MEMORY CRUMBLES TO PARTICULATE..........AND CEREBRAL MEMORY OF THE MEMORY IS OBLITERATED BY NON-UTILIZATION AND FORGOTTEN, BUT FOR THE 'DUST' HAVING FALLEN INTO THE WRINKLED GRAY MATTER SULCI OF THOUGHT
going through stacks of notes........a single, dingy, double-sided page, bearing my notes and instructions for filming one of my oddly philosophical/psychological studies.......the films are all gone with the wind....and most of my directorial notations.......this single page seems very remote, now....I wish that I had made notations that would be still meaningful....that I'd not tossed the old film and early VHS recordings.......The page seems like some relic from a dig into ancient, tombed parchments..........the paper, crumbling in my hands...... Anyway, it is just a memory....a souvenir... of the process that sets future destinations for thought and doing..

WELL.......THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, DID IT? I GAVE UP "PAINTING" SHORTLY THEREAFTER......CRESTFALLEN, THAT I WAS NOT 'THE NEXT BIG DEAL' AND ...
MY ATHEISM WAS CONFIRMED.....OPPOSING POPULAR 'BELIEFS'......WHEN I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, HAVING JUST READ "THE KASIDAH"
“All faith is False, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strown In myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own.” ― Richard Francis Burton, Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi Truth is not a single, whole entity; rather, a fragmentation....pieces, reassembled to create an illusion, imagined to be a reflection of Reality.
