It comes down to experiences and sound—our calculated span, a fragmented conversation, an effort to channel senses and sensibilities. No one was ever in control. No one ever will be. The moment has come and the moment is always going. It's a rhythm old and new and within its cadence are tales grand, science, and the song of grief and light in all its variations. Everything comes in, one self becomes two, then twelve, thirty-seven, then, just a single moment in the greater orchestration. So here we are—no matter where we've been the moment always circles back to now
SHALL
WE LOSE
OURSELVES
HERE
