If all of this is arbitrary and meaningless — this project, events, and existence itself — then why is changing direction so difficult? Something about our brains makes it difficult to alter the slow evolution of time and behavior; it’s almost as if we validate any gradual behavior at which we have arrived.

Almost every year there is a point in this project when I believe I have lost interest. Usually after those six to eight weeks of neglecting creativity and contemplation I put pressure on myself to make time and continue. I used to fear this moment, but not any more. It never fails: my favorite work always follows.
Clearly momentum is time. Or is it the other way around? I’m still unsure.
