I am trying to establish a contact with underlying forces which I can't define. They link everything in a way which obliterates the frontiers between nature outside - the landscape - and the nature of the psyche, what goes on inside our heads.

It's hard for me to shut up.
It's the delirium that comes from
the impossibility of really accomplishing anything.

I had this dream
and in it
I wake up in this small house
somewhere in the tropics.
And it's very hot and humid.
And all these names and faces
are somehow endlessly moving through me.
Not that I see them exactly,
I'm not a person in this dream;
I'm a place.
Yeah... a kind of a... just a place.
And I have no eyes, no hands,
and all these names and faces just keep...
they keep passing through. And there's no... no scale.
Just a lot of details.
Just a slow accumulation of details.
