If yesterday was “spend,” today is “save.” Economize money, energy, space, time, water, food, thoughts. If I’m not watching images move, or moving images, then by default I’m roaming. A to B, equals New York to Paris. At a discreet global position, vaguely sitting in cafes for hours chatting, discussing, debating. Cartesians: “wearing the clock” not “watching the clock.” Spending vagabond days, writing, editing, reading, but do we, with one glance, have enough information to spark a sequence of ideas, feelings, inspiration?
