Derek Caelin is writing a book

I had to share this... I'm working with an enviromental nonprofit to tell the story of Bangelore's polluted and degrated water systems.

Algal blooms cover the water when it is still. In motion, the water froths due to all the chemicals. We're going to bring drone video in to show how bad it is.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket but I do really appreciate I have the chance to work through @terraso to tell this story.

The London Transport Museum often organises "Hidden London" tours where their guides take you into the usually-closed-to-public areas of the London Underground network.

See what exploring the old Jubilee Line platforms of Charing Cross is like. You may even recognise it from the silver screen.

The Storyteller
Imagine a world where the storyteller weaves a tale so grand, that all fall under its magic spell. Forest creatures, real and imagined, gather round with their children to hear the wondrous drama unfold.

Graphite pencil drawing with washes of green and brown watercolor. A young girl sits with her back against a tree, animatedly telling a story to the white rabbit and its child on her lap. She is surrounded by a myriad of creatures, rapt with attention as she spins her tale.

It is nihilism, without illuminating the impact of nihilism on real lives.

It is unbalanced. There is no Yin and yang.

It feels unnatural.

What are you doing, storyteller? What are you doing?

You need to give us a reason to live. A reason to be, to feel, to think.

Don't make me jump up and shout, "Bah!" At the end of your movie!

B Thoreau 🛸

It's okay to use nothingness to ponder absurdism, The Waiting for Godots, if the whole point is to look at how absurd it can all be, the ambiguity, the not-knowing in life.

But when there is no one to root for in your story, no one to love, and you just send characters to their deaths to be dramatic, not to unveil a truth, to redeem, to illuminate humanity, it is a failure in your art. It is a weird revenge on all people.

In 2009 an enormous cache of collected folktales from the early anthropologist/story collector Franz Xaver Von Schonwerth were found in a municiple archive in Bavaria. In the 1850s he published a catalog of stories inspired by the Brothers Grimm but it was nothing compared to the size of his unpublished interviews and notes. This English translation just arrived at our house. #bookstodon #fairytales #storytelling
