Jacob Kramer Update 10/1/22

Hey friends,

Just wanted to post here and share a straightforward update.  First, the extensive, esoteric project I had begun a half-year ago has slipped off my radar for the time being.  I've been spending my time making these Youtube videos.  Who knows how that will go, but for the time being it feels like good, honest work.  My hope is that it will catch some minor audience for myself and those of us here.  Certainly it is already a different feeling having around 300 views on some videos compared to the usual dozen friends I share my work with.  

I don't want to lose track of the deeper process of art, and I don't think I will, but right now these videos have felt like the authentic thing to be doing.  I do know that I will return to my literary-quest Lighthouse project, or something like it, likely after my return to Asheville.  

Meanwhile I know some of you have been plugging away at your projects, others haven't quite found the time or inspiration to jump in, and more or less we've been stumbling along.  I knew from the beginning that this group would be a multi-year process, with periods of low and high intensity.  That kinds of projects we are working on are years-long projects.  

I just want to say that I still have the dream that when these projects are completed, and as my Lighthouse or whatever has met with some considerable construction checkmarks, these works will find a home together and us weirdos can attract other weirdos and help each other to weather the storm.  Then in 2,000 years an AI simulation of Dan Brown can write about us as goofy Templars.  

Right now we're in a lull and a transition.  Within the next month let's meet again.  I think it will be good to stay in touch just to honor the phenomenon of The Order of Time.
