Currently I´m reading Michael Jackson - Moonwalk. (Yes, I´m one of those who discovered MJ too late, in other words after his dead.)
The more I read about him now the more fascinating I find that substantiality and spirit he gathered around himself.
All the riches he gained by engaging all those talented artistic people is more than amazing, besides his own contribution of course.
But who is the real winner from a mortal/earthly perspective?
The one who manage to get thousands to serve his/her interest or the one who´s just watching the spectacle?
...and then there´s another perspective that Ingmar Bergman described so ingeniously...
"...you can never figure out or capture human holiness...
Only the poets, musicians and saints may depict that which we can but discern: the inconceivable. They´ve seen, known, understood, not fully, but in fragments..."
Private Confessions - Ingmar Bergman (
)
MJ seemed to be a rather interesting person with one foot always leaping in the dark, in the unknown, just like Bergman
...and I still wonder... is it only musicians and poets who are privileged or are there any other saints out there besides me?
