I was teaching a high-level course on the psychology of art at a New England school when I encountered that dastardly evil Headless Horseman. Now, you know this Horseman had popped in-and-out of civilization of Earth with varied visages of self-representation, be it in the form of a resurrected/decapitated soldier of war or simply a specter of tragedy risen to create some Autumn/harvest omens of the heart. Now, he found his way past the annals/texts of the likes of writers like Washington Irving and into my Selfie-culture readings age of incomplete-lines to leviathan (damn).



I found myself offering my pupil(s) special course imagery about the civilization evolution of creative expression and self-representation, since the day/time of the Bible's Genesis era and cavemen through the rise of the Roman Empire and to the advanced online social net conveniences age of widespread/liberal access to self-image and avatars of lifestyle-transit art and storytelling for the Ego (sure). I read of the Horseman (Headless!) in varied sources and knew nothing of him/it. I knew only of my Selfie-age of capitalism/consumerism grid consciousness. Then, one Autumn Saturday AM, while walking to the campus library in fine-spirit, I saw his specter, in an Autumn field, with no one around; he forced me to stare at my wife-gifted diamond watch, to see if I was hallucinating him/it (damn).



HORSEMAN: Aaarrrgghhh!
ME: Are you him?
HORSEMAN: Aaarrrgghhh!
ME: Me thinks this is some Autumn-field(s) view for hell's ride, evil being.
HORSEMAN: Aaarrrgghhh!
ME: I shall write of this encounter, in a time-capsule; though none shall believe.
HORSEMAN: Aaarrrgghhh!
ME: This was some Saturday's daylights ABCD, Horseman (damn)...I flee now.
HORSEMAN: Aaarrrgghhh!



So, I re-present that Autumn AM encounter with that 'timeless' Horseman in this time-capsule, to bury in a ground-field in my education-arena (New England); I shan't forget the encounter, though not even my wifes believes it (ok). What I learned in all humility was that the Headless Horseman had become something of a view fo leviathan and a release from sanity. Were there vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and flying witches scurrying-about on our fare-rich Blue Planet of incomplete-distances readings of timeless broders of the heavens (I wondered)? I knew the only/best way to catch the Horseman was to offer-up this time-capsule 'adjective'...for the Ego (damn).
