I just arrived in Dallas after a long drive through unusual weather. I've had a lot of time to listen to music and french language CDs, as well as think about projects. I've been largely considering how to develop a personal history. History is like an accordion. It can adapt to the smallest or largest segment of time. It the fluid in which we all swim and the basis for perception. I'm beginning to consider how to construct a new version of it. After speaking with a friend who is a ballerina and another who is a poet, I have come to the conclusion that my dabbling in history and fiction may need to be expanded exponentially. I enjoy pushing myself into new territory, but I want to make sure I'm not thinking in too linear a fashion. I'm most interested in time that is non-linear. Now, how can that become a place for exploration and possibility? How does time work when its order is confused? How does a story function when there is no anchor or time line? What happens to an audience when all points of reference are removed or confused?
Also, here is an interesting link sent to me by Don Fodness
