Life on our planet has been a constant series of cataclysmic events, and we are
more suitable for extinction than a trilobite or a reptile. So we will vanish.

he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. ---Henri Matisse

The first dolly track was somebody who had the idea to put the camera on a boat on a canal.
So the boat would move very slowly but steadily. So they would see all that surrounds
you and you'd see the landscape changing slowly. So that was the first time.
---Michel Gondry

Even if you're specific about the character of the song, it's more exciting to place them,
juxtapose them in such a way as to make an adventure out of the sequence of the songs.

'The Sacrifice' is a 1986 Swedish film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. Starring Erland Josephson,
it centers on a middle-aged intellectual who attempts to bargain with G-d to stop an
impending nuclear holocaust. The Sacrifice was Tarkovsky's third film as a
Soviet expatriate and was also his last, as he died shortly after its completion.
[ Nicholas Croft with Artist/Meditator Kate Graves @ Fort Tilden Bunker ]
All along my eyes, mind, heart and time have been caught and pulled in many directions.
The discipline of making art, and more recently, of meditation continues to serve the
essential purpose of bringing a still point to the ever-turning world. I maintain that
the absence of awareness of time passing when engaged in these processes is
one of my favorite states. ---Kate Graves
