Prompt: David Bowie's Last Letter
I will die… I know there are only a few months left until the end of my earthly journey…
What should I do? Despair, sink into depression, reject the idea of death, and pretend the illness doesn’t exist?
Or should I decide to defeat death… I decide it with my soul because only the soul and the heart give me the inspiration to compose music, as I’ve done for 50 years…
I count the hours I have left, and as the doctors tell me, I can predict, within a certain margin, the date of my death. The release of my last work is scheduled for January 8, 2016, my 69th birthday.
I work day and night; I have the time to compose, perfect, perform, record in the studio, and make videos… I do it as quickly as possible because I don’t want my face to show the mark of death, which mockingly is cutting down my body without me being able to defend myself…
But I challenge you, death… To hell with it if I don’t challenge you!
I challenged and conquered the world of fans in the '70s with the pride of ambiguity… I loved men and women; I was a man, a woman, an alien, and finally, a celestial body.
What can you do, death, against my eternity, my genius, my madness, my creativity, my music that will live forever?
I am Lazarus, torn from the scars. I will die in the body, but I will live forever through my music.
I lived long enough to receive birthday wishes. I thought I wouldn’t make it to see my album released… I survived January 8… And you, my dear killer, lost!
Just think, if you hadn’t knocked on my door, I would have created 24 works; I would have managed to live to 100, and instead, thanks to you, I have 25!
You know… I will be free as a bird.
Prompt: How can someone change and still be the same person?
A river’s water constantly flows and at times (like flooding) the river’s course may even change…but the Mississippi River is always the Mississippi River. It does not become a different river even though it changes.
That is why and how even though someone changes…they are the same person.
As there isn’t anything that does not change…do not be so attached to “unchanging” meaning the “s
In Eastern philosophy, they use the phrase “not the same, but not different”. This is a bit more accurate. If a great pianist plays Beethoven: Sonata Op.106 in B flat major, 'Hammerklavier'…and next week plays Beethoven: Sonata Op.106 in B flat major, 'Hammerklavier' …was it the same or was it different. The answer, of course, is not the same, but not different.
