As a quiet* person of my time, I live with the hope of a couple of parsecs* ahead. And it’s not because I don’t like my present. The present surprises, discourages, delights, frightens, even kills me, but it’s no longer confuses me. Each new day is like a small grain in the palm of the universe, containing everything we know, don’t know, and could expect. That’s why I write, make shots and try to comprehend what kind of life will appear before us, when the grain sprouts.
