Escape!

From a life spent trailing the plow, inventions that saved 'busy time" or 'dead time' were the apex of progress to be. Now we have arrived and see the time we've freed, is spent anyway but freely.

and the cost is high.

Free-time is a date between your mind and a small pinch of summer sky, autumn forest, clear winter night, inspiration.. together- alone from all else in space, on a blank white sheet, a canvas.
Creating something where nothing was before.. breathing... living...breathing...

Historians think that way...

losing sleep over documents that they deem precious, but which, in the evaluation of people who have reason to know, are most useful as tinder, or mattress stuffing, or paper-mache. I was burning sacred primary source material; but it was heat that mattered right then, not history.
