Printing prayers
Printing prayers | 10.31 I’d written about this, earlier — http://tim.girvin.com/Entries/?p=346 — the power of that which is transcribed to translated prayer. That prayer is a series of sacrosanct sounds, it’s a vibration; it’s a resonation — and that writing … Continue reading

TRANSPARENCIES
Transparencies (10.27) Mist, layered — messages diaphanous. I think about things in layers. And I keep referring to that. I think about something on one layer, and then another on another, and another — beneath that. I think that I … Continue reading
