Statement  
  I want you to think about what is inside your head.  What do you see?  Are you functioning?  There are glitches, some things are clear but not sensory driven:  charged, disconnected images, repeated, distorted, object, subject -- who knows.  Memories are strong, reality is fleeting.  Memories are unreliable.  There is information missing, blank space, bright white space.  Back again, the meaning has shifted now, significance has changed.  The image is moving, no flashing.  The moving image is only important because it will not return.  Its charm, like childhood, is that it only has a brief stay.  It passes through us and we try to hold on, we try to absorb it, become it.  Why live in reality?  Observe it, not quite satisfied, that's the flitting nature of life.
