text from "What I Hear", 2006

The times when I listen to others is when I really try to feel what they feel or associate my thoughts with their thoughts and relate it in a way where I can understand the breath they are breathing in exhaling obsessively.   I understand the obsessions.  

I'm hearing the inbetween a lot right now. It is a neutral balance of both sides... above and below...in and out...mentally and physically.   The perfect balance is calming and arousing at the same time.   But the neutrality is a little numbing because I am so used to the peak of one or the other.   The peaks are what drove me before but there is a constant... consistent place to go now.   Is that my only driving source?   I doubt that is my only driving source.   I know it isn't.   I am beginning to see the actuality of the balance.   The perfect balance should be considered a peak, too.   Maybe the balance I have always strived for is real.   The floating balance pulling equally from all sides makes a humming sound with a faint heartbeat.  

The things whispered in my ears from both sides are what I hear.   Every angle is included making the whole.
