INTRODUCTION-COMMENTARY OF S BRIAN ADAM"S HOW DO HOW DO THE LOVELY THING by Stephen Gambello



How Do How Do The Lovely Thing is the greatest articulation, greatest portrait, greatest essence of a life that has ever been offered.  In other words, it is a body of work that details, throughout the years, the living workings, developings, evolvings of a life.   How Do How Do The Lovely Thing is another way of presenting proof of a soul.  What imbues the body with life is what many refer to as a soul.  That process is as mysterious as the Universe itself.  In fact, the essence of the Universe is included within us, the aspect of our living that animates the body, gives it a distinction, makes us a living entity.  Our sentience, our awareness of self -- that is an aspect of the Universe, the living, sentient Universe.  It is order.  It is logic.  It is my chosen point of view.  I cannot prove my point of view scientifically.  But I do not need to.  It is a feeling I have, a reasoning of existence. I live by that reasoning, by the knowledge that things are as they are.  I do not imagine existence in any other way.  It is the result of my studying under S Brian Adam.  It is the result of fully engaging, meditating, contemplating and articulating the offering known as How Do How Do The Lovely Thing. 


How Do How Do The Lovely Thing is in itself a mystery.  It has no form.  It is the name of the poem, the images, the music and the videos that consolidate, unify, harmonize these works of human essence.  To be a human, and to fully articulate that humanity, in the manner of the mysterious Universe -- this is the intent of How Do How Do The Lovely Thing.  The shape of S Brian Adam's life work is itself a mystery.  It is an action of will, of determination, of deep commitment to self, executed over decades of living and learning.  It is the testament of an expanding mind.  In fact, How Do How Do The Lovely Thing encompasses the full potential of the mind, which is in itself limitless.  How Do How Do The Lovely Thing transcends the syntax of traditional English,  In that statement, that sequence of words, we are taken through  journey  of high contextual potential.  The words open us up to greater realms of being.  The word How is a constructive word, a creating word,  a word that builds Universes. The word Do is an action, an occurrence of contact, of potential change, of movement, of metamorphosis.   It is all possible in the Do.  Lovely is a word that describes the intangible act of love, it is a generous word, it is a powerful word.  It connotes peace, balance, warmth, compassion.   It is the underlying force of the human offering.   Thing is a word that is of all and any.  It is the opening to imagining.  It is the silence of the Universe, as it is the object you  see in front of you, it is the thought in your mind.  It goes on and on.  In S Brian Adam's usage, Thing becomes so open, so vast, so unending an offering -- that it becomes a symbol of the mind as Universe. 

It is the sum, the amalgam, the evolution of How, Do, and Lovely:  transcribed 

mysterium:  endless, a continuum of the unmentionable....

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 ...
