I see long streams. They are heavy, strong, dark and constant...
I find them abstract, and rather incomprehensible, flowing recklessly most of the times.
I call them “currents”.
And I see finer streams. They are shorter in length and momentary in nature, but they come in greater numbers
and they carry music, warmth and color.
I find myself collecting evidence of their existence.
