Item #2
- Title:Ramblings of the woozy mind
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
Muddled a long while since I can remember
Sometimes, the minutes creep, I will hasten; other times they scurry and I’ve never had enough.
Yet I grow to realize, time comes…invariably. It goes…continually. Time is the constant.
I, am a variant.
A construction of my brain.
A notion of time.
Manipulated. Misperceived.
Distorted by attention, motivations and emotions.

Item #3

- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
There are always oppositional forces within our life, with zero being the neutral state. In our search for equilibrium, we forget that the balance lies on the comfortable weight between these forces.
