This work is a preliminary effort at voicing time in silence, quietude, and stillness. In this time of disengagement from activities, we are faced with a stillness—a stopping—that requires softening, acceptance, and curiosity. This is the process of finding language where the Life Force is at the edge of the: abyss, oblivion, tragic, mystery, merging, renewal, letting go, transitioning, unknown, eternity, disappearing, freedom, light, vanishing.
