planeswalkingonsunshine: If someone ever tells you a certain song is important to them you should turn it up and lay on your bed and close your eyes and really listen to it even if its 10 minutes long because at the end you will know that person much better I think

It's Getting Dark
A bird calls from a tree. It is late evening in the summer. I remember the woods behind my childhood home. The sun is below the horizon. Someone is watching prime-time television. It’s time to come inside; it’s getting dark. ~ü

Idea vs Intention
Ideas are neutral. Intention is powerful. I’m working on a piece with another artist; we’re both focused on the look and the how-to. Are we moving forward when we define the aesthetic before we define its intention? It’s troubling. Art that is neutral is art that is not worth making, just as declarations of true indifference are not worth the wasted breath. ~ü

Putting It All Together
Putting it all together requires patience and play, focus and effort; I’m sure of that much. I’m almost 10 years into this experiment that looks to bring together my formative training in programming, music, and film. It’s difficult to focus when you’re covering so much ground. It’s impossible to play when you’re putting in so much effort. Patience will keep...

The feeling of forced inertness, the inability to move, paralysis - this is the most subtle terror.

Sinking into the bath, feeling the water rise around you. Diving into the pool, breaking the surface and passing into another world. One that’s all around us, a kind of noticeable density that you can feel against the skin. Light is different – more diffuse. Sound is warped, becoming strange. You can feel ripples, movements through the medium, feeling other people without touching them though...

Intention
Clarity of intention is the most important quality in our communication with others.  Intention comes from deep within.  In my effort to know everything and be everywhere, the intention of my actions were lost along the way. What is your intention?

These daily actions have created a better, kinder present. Unfortunately, our media is too often usurped by extremists, fearmongers, and fundamentalists. With advancements in...
