When you have cut into the continuity of time you are only stealing your 1000th of a second as if the other minutes don't matter.

And I'm not talking about Heidenberg's Uncertainty Principle.


And I'm not saying, as some believe, that you've really stolen the fraction of a second from someone's soul (or possibly their entire soul) - but you have put your 1/1000th of a second forward to be looked at as if it were reality. But when you present your slice of time you are always messing with reality.

Education and Art in Western Society

Julie and her husband Jude were drinking expensive ultra-premium Vodka. Jude had a paunch and was doing a comb over. The bar was dark, but Julie looked the same as in college - except her hair was all streaked silver.

They are both psychiatrists on the upper-west side - and they've been specializing on the problems of artists in Western society.

Two days later - Julie sent me a sample chapter of the book they're working on. Julie asked me to comment on it before it went to their editor. You can read the rest of their chapter here.
