The intertwining patterns of the architectural ornamentation I can see through the window represent to me the intertwining patterns of my own life. Patterns marked by constant irony. Forms of Eshu, who embodies the ironic potential of experience.


My entire life has been a study in irony-from the frail form of the premature baby to the emergence of the eventually energetic child, from the child who learnt to read late to the eventual bibliophiliac, from the rebel against formal education to the acquisitor of three MA degrees,[the person who is]unaffiliated[not affiliated] to no[any] particular religion and yet is deeply religious, the Christian who is as also an animist,a member of a species for whom purposeless activity is an aberration but whose peregrinations between the twin unknowns constituted by before birth and after death do not have any evident sense of purpose, except the accounts of visionaries, the validity of which are disputed.
