“Time is a point, substance is flux, perception dull, the soul a whirl, the body a stream, the soul a dream and vapour.”
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book II, 17).
“…The peculiar beauty of fruit: Figs, when they are ripe gape open, and in the ripe olives the being near to rottenness adds a peculiar beauty of fruit.”
(Aurelius, Book III, 1).
“Everything harmonizes with me which is harmonious to thee, O Universe. Everything is fruit to me which they seasons bring, O Nature.”
(Aurelius, Book IV, 23).

“Forget sleep
Forget wheeling dancers or birds
and one cloud paused as if tying a sandal
all things forget”
(Terri Witek, Impermanence Fragments, stanza 2)

“…Shew me that I am so little…”
(Juliana of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love, 18)

“Strik[e] unbounded space and hear it reverberate…One being, all [forms of] being; one time, all times.”
(Zen Master Dōgen, Shōbōgenzō, 6)
“My whole being is [like] the mouth of a bell suspended in empty space.”
(Dōgen, 28)

Special thanks to Terri Witek, Marcos Balter, Tae Hong Park, and—as always—my dear Martha. This piece was composed in 2021 during residencies at the Atlantic Center for the Arts and the NYU Music Technology studios.
