● poet

ben yosaf aperitif is the Delphic Bard of Athens
i soothe the soup goblet and am made for it
by ben yosaf aperitif
in little rhymes,
i crackle and bop,
a concoction bubbling and stewing,
and brimming to the top,
as for the meter and the slanted melodic archipelagos,
i've made my fare, so sit up for people and for rhythm,
as the waves meet the sail,
and the way down the timbre forest drops,
sizzle and fizzle and spark around the clock,
of a way to bring it to being in peace and home,
where the river aims for,
and the enchanted beat rests, quests, and roams.
a song major and a walking stick
by ben yosaf aperitif
bringing forth withal brim wit and surround of somber walks,
he budges forward and sings while he talks,
a pantomimed piece of virtuosity and clairvoyant thrill,
in the shape of the right here and now and all through the square,
away to the fields where the horses sway flush and free,
the plumage of the swan heading up the tree,
in the way-maker songs of simmering throughout,
the marching band catches some quail and performs aloud.
a four-lined poem
by ben yosaf aperitif
up and down and about face to the north and the south,
being on the top of the mountain and to look over the view,
around where light begins and zones in the waterfalls below,
in pieces of white canyons and meadows and aspen trees rolling.

Map-Scroll provides your nexus into the multifold of parameters into which you can see the streaming width and jutting edges of high-rise of the digital world that is The Internet Pyramid. If you travel along and it will go smoothly and nice it is for you to happily come to see the way in which all the multiplicity of quaint and aesthetically-kind elements flourish and swerve into your situatedness of being capacities. It is our intention in Map-Scroll to provide you with a one-stop shop into the brilliance and adeptness of your way around the world, to go anywhere in the globe in a way of doing it right spot on according to any manner of looking at it so.
As the person looks at the different modalities of seeing the locale she is set in within the Map-Scroll's quay, to sail across the wild and teeming seas of The Internet Pyramid, she is able to find the most amazing and exotic of things. For instance, a world that is for the taking.
Hear me throughout-- the world is yours to have; the decision is yours; take on life meaningfully and holistically and essentially, it can come to you, and then the life is yours for the making, the life is yours for the walk through, to make it fit right and see fit for what you want.
You can go where your direction and your heart sets you on the path toward.
Bearing this in consideration, it is our knowledge that there is a world where millions are stigmatized, marginalized, or oppressed. There is a sense of hardship in these individuals lives which is not measured in a capacity that is proper, as it is meant to be in this world that people have their footing on fair and upstanding ground. It is important that all people treat others with compassion, benevolence, and consideration. Map-Scroll provides your itinerary in The Internet Pyramid, and it is our hope we can bring all people to a better footing in regards to the place they wish to be and the place to which they wish to head.
Bearing this in mind, it is our product, The Internet Pyramid, that allows you to bring yourself to a place of great educational disposition or, if already advanced in the background of higher education, greater and deeper understanding of wisdom and application of useful and practical purposes of wisdom. It will be a good thing for me to expound.
The way in which this works, in The Internet Pyramid, the seeker is able to bring about a mode in which she engages in vision and interpretive frameworks regarding pieces of artwork or abstract analytic writings, and these that The Internet Pyramid highlights are able to bring the onlooker to understand in a straight-forward, surface, kind of basic, sense of understanding the way in which the medium comes across; at the same sweep of the pen, the writing is in the framework of which it can be read with a keen eye on detail and sensitivity for deeper meaning, being able to be unpacked and brought into close-readings which manifest myriad penetrating and insightful ways of understanding and relating. In this sense, one can read for content, narrative, and structure-- a more simple way through the pieces; or one can delve into the dense meanings and complex ideas that also are in the way of the medium, bringing one to even more percipient and incipient modalities of being in relation to the artist's pen.
These writings put forth, in this sense, a dualistic way of being in the seat of the audience, a way of reading through with a sense of ease and easygoingness, and a way of closely and astutely studying. How is this brought to be brought about?
ben yosaf aperitif has created this mode of writing through arduous labors in the way of artistic creation. he has developed a stylistic form that enables simple and complex reads. it was his aim, in doing so, to bring about the everyday man and everyday woman to engage with complex writings that have mostly been reserved to the ivory tower. all people enjoy poetry, but, in general, one has to study and learn from educators how to properly comprehend and analyze the written form. with this is mind, aperitif focuses his artistic way as putting forth, as far as poetry goes, a simple, literal read, that can be related to and understood in the person who has little background, but can take the eye and the trying mind of the expert a good time to read and to come to a wide-eyed understanding of the levels of meaning and profundity expressed in the lines.
with this all in sight, the same ease and complexity applies to most the prose writing ben yosaf aperitif offers on The Internet Pyramid.
Therefore, it is the hope of Map-Scroll, which offers the itinerary for The Internet Pyramid (as you will see below), that people who are at any level of education can grow illustriously more educated from what the web platform offers.
In this sense, though there are systemic and institutional dysfunctions and injustices that bring about the hardships of stigmatization, marginalization, and oppression, and this is a problem that will take shared effort and resourcefulness to eventually overcome-- it is our idea that, regardless of situation, from reading the writing and taking in various modes of creation The Internet Pyramid provides all around, from music to philosophical essays to historical narratives-- from this we hope anyone with access to this digital place (www.map-scroll.org -- the website you are on) and is an English speaker, is capable of attaining an advanced level of a liberal arts education, or greatly advancing one's education in terms of those who already are learned.
All in all, in the realm of education, there is hope for advancement and amelioration regarding the oppression and lack of justice people sometimes face. It is our largest hope that this internet platform, The Internet Pyramid, enables all people of all stripes to obtain great forward-progress in the fields of having greater privilege and access to opportunities.

What does the Internet Pyramid provide?
In our crafting of this web-interface, we are hoping for the best results to take place in our patronage's livelihoods: the aim of what this website brings together is for anyone to be able to carry on life as a thoughtful, constructive academic-minded individual. It is our knowledge that the "academic life" allows one to think creatively and analytically about wide issues of meaning and to see into events and experiences in a mode that enables the individual to understand clearly what it is she or he has before the person. This being said, there are brilliant writings and brilliant web designs you can engage with full-throttle, and as you do, it is in your capacity, we believe, to develop wings with a broad wingspan. The writing is simple to difficult to comprehend, yet with a sifting of the grapevines: you have it within you, because you are here, to live the "academic life," if you have not already achieved such.
Moreover, the Internet Pyramid allows one to see into situations and her or his life in a deep and penetrating way, which will allow one to think for himself-- to develop myriad stances on ideas and concepts, to construct great original ideas, and also, to signify inquiry which branches into a broad and meaningful understanding of a given topic.
One can see here, with the Internet Pyramid being based on these selfless intentions and desires, it has significant merit and purpose. It is our hope that you get the best you can out of this artistic experiment we have established.

To delve into the book of myths...
As one engages in the compositions highlighted on the map-scroll experience, one learns good content.

we have got the #1 learning material
Questions. What does this education provide? What sources does this education utilize? To whom is this education geared for their personal immaterial and overarching world/selfhood benefit? Answers. This response to those three questions provides to the reader the basic pedagogy of Map-Scroll. To outline the mode of conveying to the reader useful information and insightful ideas that will empower the one who engages with our thought herein presented to be more equipped and well-off for what comes, the writer, ben yosaf aperitif, has composed music and poetry, also he has written interdisciplinary philosophy essays. We take, as an analogy: (the riches) that are stored in the pyramid to be the musical and poetic compositions, and the make-up of the pyramid, the hefty blocks, to be the philosophical thrust that is encapsulated within Map-Scroll. In this sense, the philosophical outlook provides foundation (those hefty blocks) for the engagement of art, the delving into the truth and universal, timeless questions of the human character. This education is offered to anyone who is an English reader, as it can greatly improve both the everyday-man and everyday-woman and the master alike. In the ancient world, philosophy was a holistic enterprise of study; it included astrology, mythology, biology, physics, ethics, so on and so forth. Today, the field is much narrower, a myriad of various academic disciplines having had emerged out of it as specific focuses of study. Philosophy today can be divided in five main categories. It studies, A) aesthetics, B) ethics, C) epistemology, D) logic, E) metaphysics (this is how I put the field into branches, although, other philosophers divvy it up in their own ways). In that philosophy has, over eons, become honed in on these streams of thought, it is worth noting how the philosophy of old is consistent with our contemporary era. Philosophy provides a holistic way to take on life, a holistic image for the way one thinks thoughtfully and reflectively about life, a holistic mindset for dealing with all the elements that one encounters on her path through the world, universal understanding. In the ancient eras, when philosophy was intertwined with science, medicine, historical studies, and so on... the reason all of these types of thought were included is that the person seeking truth through philosophy could have a widespread way that is informed and incisive for seeing the world. Today, we have less topics included in the discipline of philosophy, but by narrowing it in, there is more potentiality to glean and obtain a holistic life vision that is reflective and thoughtful and acutely in touch with the ways of reality and the ways of the world. Notable to the reader is that the five rivers of philosophy I have mentioned have subfields that are included within, for instance, ethics inquires into political philosophy, epistemology asks questions that are theologically-based, metaphysics circles into ontology, and more. I encourage you to get your feet wet or to dive deeper in. Philosophy today, offers one a panoramic view of the lifeworld, value, essence, existence, being, universe, ultimate-reality. Philosophy provides a penetrating lens on all one's experiences. English literature contains the bulk of the remainder. How, you may ask, as music is part of the pyramid's treasure stored deep within its confines. The answer to this-- ben yosaf aperitif, he formulated an idea for how a novel form of music could take place: The singer of the song singing a poem. All the songs that are offered on Map-Scroll by ben yosaf aperitif are poems and musical compositions alike. It is aperitif' belief that the best kind of artworks have the most potential to add to one's ethos. In this refrain, he would like to recommend, with this aesthetic theory in mind, The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger), Death in Venice (Mann), The Faerie Queen (Spenser), Anthem (Rand), I'm Nobody Who are You (Dickinson), The Dream Songs (Berryman). To advance in intellect, no matter where you are, read and engage with the literature here, offered on Map-Scroll. Education is not meant to provide a finite amount of good one can glean. Education is limitless in its ability to provide good results in the student. Some people walk through the halls of higher education dire and yearning for the good career that might come their way, the financial ability to provide for themselves and families, their level of honor which will be shown upon them for their successful studies and extracurriculars. This, the stock image I have just represented of a learner in the halls of higher education, presents in that character a shallow way at looking at what education is really for and has the capability to provide. Education has the great capacity to make the learner smart. To be a very smart person in your life unfolds in terms of the entirety of one's life being easier to handle and being handled better. To expound on this further; people aim their direction through young adulthood to earn a college degree and that is for the ability, often, to subsist in terms of family life and household goods and such and also a presumed level of respect offered to them in the social world. But when they acquire these material and non-material ends, they ask themselves... for what have I worked?-- for what have I striven? And all-too-often, without building resilient and insightful and illumination thoughts about some of the major questions of existence (where did I come from? what is important in life? what is the reason some innocent people get hurt while perpetuators walk free? other hard questions, etc.), the person is left bereft of fulfillment for these attained things. But to look at the big life questions square on with tenacity, gumption, reasoned thought, determination, and penetrating analysis, and while seeing into these deeper issues, living a life commensurate with the strides of insight in light of this insightful crafty, often imaginative, piercing eye on reality-- well that is a good lot one earns in the life of books and in the life of artwork. Looking into all these illuminated prisms on Map-Scroll will enable you to be smart and smarter, and have better perspective on your life, the lives of your friends and loves ones, and the world. We hope you dive in.
Map-Scroll is, in truth, the prime education, art, and entertainment outlet of the world. Enter, entertainment! Having fun, are you-- the fascinating art! And keep adding to that smart head of yours!

The earth is wild. And so are you. You are part of nature. It's one of your virtues. The earth is strong. It's a interwoven flock of stuff. Amongst crags and fogs, there is the life of a flock. The earth is steadfast. It remains for all of time. In the way it is governed, it is part of the sublime. The earth is beauty. It has you and me. It has all of us together. The whole people family. In one and the other is the life of the all. In each drought and each plethora, there is more than we can count.

i have the unrestrained revelry of intoxicated, laudable, intuitive emotion and creativity, in virtue and the dance flow an unquenchable current. in the midst of the wind sailing in jubilance and beauty my sails-archway back, i head all around the oceans again and again, with clear insight and rightness & breadth of understanding the sea and the constellations and the moon, i am a noble minded sailor, concentrated, concerted, hard-worker, on the ball, selfless.. and in love. - ben yosaf aperitif
In the whole world, we are all a whole, one and each other, the entire people. In the whole world we are the fleet of the flock. The way we go down the rushing river is in beauty, music, and stereo surround. As we impart the life of the quay, we take off delicately, ship unto sea. We are all together, all the way around. We are a whole human people, spinning around the axis of tilt. We tilt in and outward, in fabrics of one, twos, and threes. It's the waltz of the people. It's our music, exactly. We carry onward and outward. To the beyond and the highest star. And the way that we belong here, is in our lifetime of the way in which we shine like the stars, in the light of the sun and moon.

In sequences of havoc, stillness, alacrity, and quiltpens, the music within us is in our beautiful hearts. The music around us shines through the air. And the music of the sunshine shines the light of carefree caringness. The beauty of one in the beauty of all. The way we see people shines light on us all. The way we see people is in the way of the poem that you read in the quiet when no one is home, the one you love especially so. The way we see people is the way we see our friends, good and honest and kind and forever. The way we see the land and the ocean is in the way it is free, wild, and captured by the modifier of 'beauty.' We love this place a lot!
