This entry is long. It described one more of those processes in which I discover an issue that is central and comes up again and again. I release the issue or dissolve it thoroughly by doing a process that you have seen before and today I call it a visual meditation. Imagine yourself meditating. In…

The pain, the body’s shaking, the murmur along the nerve-ways make it impossible to sleep. I go to the studio. The words come pouring easily and…
