You walk through the forest. It’s early morning and in a clearing you see a quiet lake. Looking at the surface of the lake you see the reflection of your face, a face that you know well. The water is clear, and at the bottom you see the leaves from last fall. You take a stick and stir the leaves and water into a muddy whirlpool, and a spider lays its eggs.

If you imagine that you’re 1 cm tall, and you’re placed in the grass, you should look out for spiders. Even the crickets would eat you.

You could sit on a straw hanging over the lake, reflecting on your image, but you would be led away by worried thoughts- it would take a great deal of discipline to stay in focus. You would wish your former size. A return to zero. An engine haunted, hardwired against all contingincies.

Rain, looming on the horizon, the sky breaks open. Signal is good, footage received, processing and archived, check.
