We are a support network and media project by and for people who experience the world in ways that are often diagnosed as mental illness. We envision a new culture that allows the space and freedom for exploring different states of being, and recognizes that breakdown can be the entrance to breakthrough. We aim to create a language that is so vast and rich that it expresses the infinite diversity of human experiences. The Icarus Project
i’m a bit of a star,
i suppose,
in that,
my life’s been
a series of
manic depressive episodes,
i’m not a
manic depressive
though,
although my career,
has had its highs and lows,
i’m a manic
depression
that
overflows,
and,
as perhaps you know,
a depression
that’s manic,
makes
for quite the show,
ever see a black hole,
when it
finally explodes?
as above, so below,
we interrupt your regularly scheduled program
with an urgent weather announcement;
the forecast is hopeless,
a brainstorm approaches,
expect
a personal power outage,
ferocious
thought showers,
and a flood of emotions.
i’m a mother fucking portal, that’s it, but through me flows an immortal classic,
the everlasting melody to which death dances,
i’m damaged and off balance, but a broken vessel is an open passage,
through which the divine passion passes.
