The Minute Before the Last Minute

cross post from my two sentence a day blog


I can only barely remember the jarring holy experience of standing in the Getty watching Bill Viola's Five Angels for the Millenium, as I race around two towns all day today doing small things like: trying to balance a massive 20 x 10 screen and extend it into the air in a sanctuary not built for such things, wiring a small fiber board to a wire grate, watching a spinning rainbow wheel spin as the "Time Until Rendered" icon remains frozen at "1 more minute" for more than twenty, slicing giant plywood sheets with a circular saw in the 20 degree weather, pasting 70 small shardlike photos to liturgy covers, standing in Kinkos waiting. Two Days Til Epiphany.
