The Hymns sprung from two sources: French mystic Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's Hymn of the Universe and the Aboriginal tradition of Songlines. The former is a book that posits humanity as the mouthpiece of the universe. Martin agrees with that, insomuch as we sing the universe back to itself, creating a working circuit of existence and expression. This is where Songlines come in. Traditionally, Aboriginal children would inhabit a Songline, which is a map/song that describes how ancestral beings created the landscape during The Dreaming. Once you have a Songline you are responsible for periodically walking and singing that line to bring the universe back into existence. In essence it, like all Aboriginal culture, is a conservative project. We have all we need. What's already here. It's enough. Let's celebrate, acknowledge, and maybe even redefine. This is why each Hymn has a particular referent. With each poem I'm pointing at something already here and singing, "Holy shit, this exists!" Even if it's a Job or a Pause. Even if it's a Balloon.
