oO0Oo Resident: peculiar to what eos?
Eos Amaterasu: itself
iwandertoo Resident: the fountain will still differ?
oO0Oo Resident: i mean... why now?
Eos Amaterasu: the fountain being misty?

Eliza Madrigal: watching the clock seems to go with the idea of boredom...
Aphrodite Macbain: Hey storm Susan, Eliza, Eos and um o
Eos Amaterasu: in trying to 'be each second', I found the notion of 'seconds' becoming irrlevant
Eos Amaterasu: time is differently elastic
Eliza Madrigal: but yes, seconds presenting, seems different

Eos Amaterasu: maybe that 's what you were saying too, Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: hmm
Hokon Cazalet: .
Eos Amaterasu: CAn you say more about your inspirationfor 'be each second', oOo?
