Found on my desk: a photocopy of an epigraph from Erling Kagge’s book Walking.
You’re walking. And you don’t always realize it
But you’re always falling
With each step, you fall forward slightly
And then catch yourself from falling . . .
Laurie Anderson, “Walking and Falling”
I’d thought at first that “Walking and Falling” was a poem, but it turned out to be a musical piece. Though I like the written excerpt, the music does nothing for me. To get a better taste of Anderson’s music, I’d recommend “O Superman” (video link below). It’s arguably a masterpiece, but be warned that it’s not only strangely hypnotic, but also disturbing, and if you let it get to you, it can generate some big feelings.
