about

O____phásis

A circle, as it is the cyclic movements which keeps me hunting and chasing.
four tracks, two equinoxes \ two solstices \ one voice in one room.

I-III: menses chronos saa at cyclus celestial shen ovoid glyph unity completeness divinity all-eine infinite line uroborus rebirth, recurrence protection nomadism dynamic continuous fluctuation emotion non-manifestation timeless spaceless primordial undiffrentiation symbol of sun the end is the beginning wheel souvereignty kismet regeneration terrestrial globe latitudinal lines parallel zonal meridian phases equator planetary wave towards the sun cyclic interference ellipse circle meteorology orbit circumnavigation terrestrial body lunation new moon main phase dichotomy phase angle to lag to lead phase delay earthshine aerosphere seasons geological lapse of time polar motion geometry of moon phases tellurian lunar eclipse solar eclipse daymare old light new light to drift to oscillate tides eventide gravity equinox solstice aequus = equal nox = night solstitium hemisphere of the earth northern hemisphere southern hemisphere midnight sun white nights climate klíma = tilt/slope axis tropé = deflection hémisys = half sphaira = spheric twelve moons / four zodiac signs astrological signs menstrual cycle in synch/out of synch.
