"... by pouring ourselves fully and intentionally into the present, it gentles the passing of time's precipitous flight."

Seneca

"As a particle of the atmosphere is never lost, so sound is never lost. A strain of music or a simple tone will vibrate in the air forever and ever, decreasing according to a fixed ratio. The diffusion of the agitation extends in all directions, like the waves in a pool, but the ear is unable to detect beyond a certain point. It is well known that some individuals can distinguish sounds wich no others under precisely the same circumstances are wholly lost... A tone once in existence is always in existence."

Excerpt from SENSES OF VIBRATION [A History Of The Pleasure And Pain Of Sound] by Shelley Trower

"Most often our perception of the city is not sustained, but rather partial, fragmentary, mixed with other concerns. Nearly every sense is in operation, and the image is the composite of them all."
