SUMARIO. Oh, how we misunderstand: introduction / The vessel of the eternal present: the early years / When slow starts to mean something, we crave fast: the once years / Incredibly slowly our view begins to slide: the Mills College years / I’m not the same person that I used to be: Perfect lives / Who could speak if every word had meaning?: Atalanta (Acts of God) / If you have to ask you can’t afford one: Now Eleanor’s idea / One thing follows the next and I just do it: Dust, celestial excursions, concrete, and smaller pieces.
