universe symphony
The window ledge at the top of the stairs in CFA where I worked last year on many video projects with nick.
There are strange,loud, noises outside my window. I suppose it�s just construction workers working but I like to think they're working on the fabric of time itself.
There is banging and pounding and a sound like a jack hammer. In the distance, as always, there is the wail of the freight trains. Every now and then something hard strikes a hollow metal pole and rings like a sour church bell.
If there had been a God I wonder what those first moments of the His world sounded like? It�s more exciting to imagine the sounds and sensations of the Christian history of the universe. Since the size of the world was born in the human imagination at a rime when little of geography and space was known it seems more likely that the events of that history would be dynamic on a humanly perceivable scale.
But, when I think of the story found by modern science I know that the sounds and sights and smells are beyond my comprehension, too extreme for my soft sensitive organ. Perhaps this is why Charles Ive�s Universe Symphony is so successful. It tells the story that way we�d like to imagine it.
Verisimilitude is frequently incomprehensible.
Today I have a simple goal in life. Go to the grocery store and buy some food.
And here is today's amusement.
