"perfect the psychological moment of catching yourself by surprise.

Dream the Other Night

A reason to get in the water/ A reason to get out

I couldn't simply choose the next moment since my mind had no way of manifesting itself purely in itself. Each second had to emerge behind a hidden door. One point of action lodged in memory could give rise to many successive moments across the span of a spherical life. REPETITION.
