We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?
And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.
The imagination says listen to me. I am your darkest voice. I am your 4 a. m. voice. I am the voice that wakes you up and says this is what I'm afraid of. Do not listen to me at your peril. . . .

When you read a book, you generate beta waves irrespective of the book's content. But if you look up from it, and start watching TV - it doesn't matter what the content of the program is - the beta waves disappear and you start processing alpha and theta waves.
