The author seemingly comes and goes approximately in synchronization with one rotation of the earth; once a day. Sometimes the author experiences strange scenarios as it wakes from its timelessness. It appears the author has passed through this cycle of consciousness and unconsciousness many times, but during the awake part of the cycle it forgets this repeating pattern. Past oscillations of this pattern seem harder to recall generally in the following ratio: the farther in the past they occurred, the more difficult this makes them to recall. The author seems to write this during the waking time of the pattern. The author finds it interesting that some Hindus assign the highest happiness to the dreamless sleep portion of the oscillation pattern.

The author often morphs into a member of the audience, and back again. The audience seems to appreciate the author's work during the waking time of the pattern. The author assumes this because it seems to write this during the waking time. The audience and author could write and appreciate during dream time, however.

This author will leave a lot of room for creative flexibility, but will also take care to indite precisely. The author makes a distinction between itself and its audience member because of this. To say simply that the author and its audience member ARE one violates E-Prime.

The author brings to these lines a background of experiences. A member of an audience cannot know these experiences (even when eloquently expressed by an author) unless it shares at least a part of those areas of experience with the author. These shared experiences imply resonant systems.* Scientists define resonating systems as follows:

Every physical system, in general, has one or more natural vibration frequencies characteristic of the system itself and determined by constants to the system.... If such a system is given impulses with some arbitrary frequency, it will necessarily vibrate with that frequency even though it is not one of those natural to it. These "forced vibrations" may be very feeble; but if the impressed frequency is varied, the response becomes rapidly more vigorous whenever any one of the natural frequencies is approached, its amplitude often increasing many fold as exact synchronism is reached. This effect is known as resonance.

("Resonance," Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia Fifth Edition, 1976, p1914)

If this author's work approaches your audience member's natural resonant frequency and you experience increased amplitude, please send this author money. This will help the author to continue its work, and you will pay for the contemporary art your audience member has appreciated. One occasionally has to pass the hat for tips. You can send your check or money order (in U.S. dollars only, please) to:

Thank you so much. If you include a return address, the author will send your audience member unique conceptual art documentation proportionate with the monetary amount paid. This artifact could bring a return in the future many times the amount of the original payment.
