There is a love, and a sadness, that transcends our borders. It tunnels through our bodies of water, discovers microscopic holes in our great walls, threads through our forests and our skylines. It passes under the noses of snoring watchman everywhere, stealing through the invisible white hot circuitry of satellite radio, syndicated television, and early am streaming sites. When it hits it bores straight through the skull, sprouting fresh shoots in the mind like weeds pushing up in the spaces between paving stones. It’s the shared references that imprison us all, colonizing the mind but also binding minds together. Joy in art is a movement within context — for there is no escape.
