Thread Xing by Spirits on Sea Level

Hi friends, link in bio for some
collages I put together from
recordings long before
and during covid.

‘44’ was recorded in Fall 2019
at the Feast of San Gennarro
in Manhattan.
A different time in
innumerable ways,
I wander through crowds and
interact with people in transient bliss.

Experiences like these,
free from a parasitic guilt
or imminent danger,
remind me not of a world
we lost, but of something
waiting for us when we overcome.

For now, I’m hoping every one
is taking this time to feel;
feel happiness and joy in
birdsong,
feel doubt and sadness and
uncertainty about the shape of
the world to come,
because these fears are valid,
and you have a right to them,
and identifying fear is the first step
towards solving a problem as it arises.

Growing up, a relationship we had with one of our neighbors dissolved into loathing. I wonder now if
given the proper conditions
we may have been able to
foster a little bit of next door all along.

It is ultimately only our Threads
that bind us together. Could we
in all of our chances choose
a neighbor rather than enemy,
a bridge over troubled water?
