BrutallyYours

[This is an update-rehab of an early profile that became all stream-of-conscousness garbled over time. It is being rewritten and is under ongoing construction.] Brutality is in the eye of the beholder. It can be an ugly word to some. Associated with violent abuse, but to others, it can be the expression of an exquisite sentiment--the sublime--a place inhabited by our deepest most craven desires, but often so unattainable because it is hard to find someone willing to embrace that ugliness and transmute it into something rather beautiful.

We often think of the end result of this word as a casuarl brutality, abuse, something unleashed thoughtlessly on those who never deserved such treatment. But does it have to be that way? As it turns out, the world is, itself, a brutal place where people get ground up and crushed every single day, where hearts get stomped and dragged through the mud. So rise above. Raise your downcast eyes and look. If our needs and desires and passions are strong and bold, maybe there's a chance we could embrace the brutality we lived through, that heretofore nameless thing that lies at the center of our being, and embrace it in such a way to empower us to grow and thrive. What will happen if you come to me might be better answered by looking into the mirror and asking the person in there what she really wants, what that person would want if she could step outside of society, outside of what people expect of her, outside of her interior demeanor, indeed, outside the confines of her own skin for a moment or two in time. It is what she would reach for if she could indulge the feelings that rage against the manner or mode she has been taught, the feelings inside of her that urge her to--that wish she could--get off the comfortable lockstep path that seems to work for others. If you come to me with those dark desires, I will push you down and let you wallow in them, I will endeavor to push you until your soul is laid bare and naked for maybe the first time (or perhaps a reconnection to a distant fleeting feeling from the past) until your screams make you shudder like it is the first time over and over again. ===more later

I just noticed that there was a movie short called Brutally Yours that was out in 2015. hmmm...should I sue or be flattered or be concerned? lol. 

<p>

It was shown at Cannes, and apparently, the director has ambitions to develop the film into a feature length production. But if you don't want to wait for the box office version, I'll make the popcorn and we'll make the big screen come to life...
