But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!
Amoranalysis is literary deconstruction for the purpose of interpreting and emanating Amor.
So says Ben Bac Sierra… novelist, CCSF writing teacher, lowrider, San Francisco native…
He continues,
We do not know what life is or where or when it begins or ends, nor do we know what death is or where or when it begins or ends.
We have no idea of time.
All we know are moments upon moments, and we do not even know that. We fantasize about words and meaning, while it is all vanishing in front of us.
Life.
Death.
I don’t understand those things, and, ultimately, I don’t care about those things.
I know Now, even though I don’t know Now. I am here, and the best of all of this right Now is in Amor.
A state of being, a miracle, that puts you in the moment forever, which is only the specific moment.
It doesn’t matter where you are or when anything began or ended.
If you want to call it eternal life, go ahead, but I think Amor is enough.
Come hear Ben take it from there… 2pm Sunday at the bookshop.
And at 5pm…
Jinx Jones & the KingTones rock it out of the park,
right here in Glen Park, right here in the bookshop.
You’ll have a high time!
Join us! Bring a twenty for the band and byob…
