“I'm interested in art, poetry, and music. As that kind of artist, I can do anything. I can say anything. It's about self-expression. It knows no package - there's no such thing. That's what being an artist is.” ― Laura Nyro

TU Dublin Short Story Anthology - Creation, Cosmos & Caboodle: “Exit Interviews”
“Clara thought of pollen and honey and that perhaps they should shoot the scene outside, or near a window, anywhere where there was lots of sun and certainly set in a season of abundance like fall or spring. And what if for once this scene, this moment of beauty, opened the film? And no, time was not moving backwards from that point, taking us through a hero’s journey of struggle that led to this beauty, but there was just this beauty. And it was close to the viewer the whole time, and they were watching beauty, and only that, only that forever and ever and ever, and it made them so full of joy, so at peace, that they would take the DVD from the player to hold the disc in their palm. Beginning and ending there, the light that’s meant to come after apocalypse, after tremendous loss.”
