Art, music, violence, fear, words, confusion; all things flow into and out of us.
Thought is a neverending stream, sometimes cold and deep and logical, sometimes ragged white water. We are the source and we are the mouth and we are an anonymous bend along the way.
We may try to dam the path and stem the flow but, in time, the flow wears all things down.
The rhythm continues; the flow will go on.
