Friday, January 15, 2021 - The auditory signals of synchronicities, which take place all the time and always all at once –––– have arrived.

Their synthesis requires a heart and mind in tune with one another and also adept at noticing subtle shifts. Metrics like speed and velocity matter very little for those who wish to experience these shifts. They cannot be summoned through direct command nor called by force. Though once the mind is quiet and the heart is able to beat slowly, steadily, and with an unwavering calm, they appear. Reports that these shifts have always existed within the confines of these five boroughs (as well as beyond) –––though met with a heightened degree of doubt ––– based on all credible sources, are in fact, true. Their legacy and place of origination have been debated over centuries –––– to no avail. Questions with answers that extend beyond points of understanding parallel with constructions similar to the gridded streets that outline the Island of Manhattan are often scattered and dismantled by these rhythms and shifts. They do not equate. Nor do they translate with any semblance of familiarity or discernible accord. Yet even so, and regardless, the fact remains –––– whether they have always existed in this city, or whether they have just arrived, they’re here now; and those who wish to enjoy their presence may do so –––– to whatever extent, and to whatever degree, they so desire.
