desiredata graphic

not a list of wants and needs, of elements missing;
but rather, an insatiable hunger for information

I describe myself as having hungryhungryhead: I always need "more information" - as if knowing will somehow make decisions easier... to that end, I often build symbolic and personal associations "encoding" my world, so that even the most commonplace is fraught with meaning. I have little hope, realistically, of being capable of translating these associations to a form which communicates them to others. Art, and subsequently hypertext, seem the most viable media for expression of this type of thinking, as the written form is (by its very nature) linear, and therefore unlike my perceptions or my worldview.
Desiredata is a little anagramatic play (if it's that minimal is it still an anagram?) upon Desiderata, the text which contains that famous line: "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars;"

NB

For a slightly more aesthetic view: turn off "underlining."
For faster travels, use the text links within the "ascii-art" to move between segments, until they are all gone... then you are finished...
