Commentary on S Brian Adam's Opus 3144 of How Do How Do The Lovely Thing by Stephen Gambello

One of S Brian Opuses, Opus 3144, is entitled "perhaps".

Click here to listen to Opus 3144 "Perhaps"

 

perhaps (adv.)  1520s, formed from Middle English per, par "by, through" (see per-)   per- word-forming element meaning "through, throughout; thoroughly; entirely, utterly," + plural of hap "chance" (from the Online Etymology Dictionary © 2001-2013 Douglas Harper)

The power of just a single word:  perhaps.  As a title for an Opus, it opens up the inevitability of existence -- unfolding as it is.  It is an open ended offering.  Each of S Brian Adam's words, whether they be from his ongoing poem, or titles to his Opuses, are imbued with the levellings of Eternity.  They are contextual, and infer something that is seemingly familiar, yet never fully describable.  

S Brian Adam has dedicated a lifetime to a commentary on what is intangible.  His choice of words always leaves room for multiple interpretations. 

Each word he chooses is a body of knowing, a lifetime of, philosophy.  He is describing the wind, the air, the energy behind our own existence.   This is an inference of what he really is describing, commenting on, sharing in....

"Perhaps" -- as defined in its etymology is a amalgam of "per", meaning throughout, entirely and the plural of" hap" which means chance.   In its very mystery, it opens up to the entirety of all possibilities.  It becomes definitive, definite.  Perhaps, because it does not commit to one answer, one coloring, one understanding.  Because it does not end the question of what -- becomes the definitive acknowledgment of every possible answer. 

Within the high context of S Brian Adam's life intention, How Do How Do The Lovely Thing, the word "perhaps" is not a word of uncertainty anymore.  it is the most absolute knowing, complete answer.  It is taken in as the Universe.  Accepting the inevitable structuring of what is pure being, we know what is supposed to be, what is actually truth, without an intellectual formula. 

We feel our truth, we know our answer.

"The grass is green, because it is." , as S Brian Adam has written.  "Perhaps" is the answer.  The grass is green, because we accept that it is.  That is the answer:  an answer peaceful, nurturing, of  completion.

The silence of full "allowance", a word S Brian Adam uses in high context often, allows us to hear the open answering of the Universe in its own timeless, irrefutable language.  The word, "perhaps" , as offered by S Brian Adam, is a definitive statement of all time.

The Sounds of the Universe: How Do How Do The Lovely Thing Commentary by Stephen Gambello

The sounds of the Universe are the signals of existence.   Scientists convert electromagnetic energy into audible sound.   It is converting the invisible, inaudible -- in space -- power of the Universe into an audible sound in our atmosphere.    The sounds of the Universe are multitudinous, unlimited and mysterious.   We are listening to the power of existence translated into a sonorous language that we can perceive.   S Brian Adam's Opuses, also, are a translation of his powerful essence into a language that we may perceive as sonorous.    There is only the sound of his instruments, moving through sonorous space mysteriously, yet full of intent.   We are the living embodiment of mysterium.    S Brian Adam recognizes this, and fully opens himself up to this mysterium.    He plays his keys in accordance to what he knows deep within his entity, his presence, his expansion of mind.  ( S Brian Adam has offe...

The videos of How Do How Do The Lovely Thing are innocent -- by Stephen Gambello

The videos of S Brian Adam, as edited by myself, have emerged as a very personal extension of my life.   S Brian Adam has given intimately of himself with regard to his work; in following and collaborating in Mr. Adam's process, I have learned to do the same.   S Brian Adam has lived his life in accordance to his articulation as living sentient.   As he feels, as he lives, so he creates.    The quietness of a consciousness is concomitant with the pre-birth mystery of sentient awareness -- that feeling of being existent before our birth.     The feeling we all have that extends beyond our immediate life.   These are the principles upon which Mr. Adam has based his life work.   As a student of Max Granick, he learned to fully access and articulate the inner identity.   In this freedom, he has brought us How Do How Do The Lovely Thing .    This is a visual, sonorous and written testament to a life dedicated to maintaining ...
