blood

blood is about tracing the currents, the voices and meanings as families mix and gift their meanings. Eyes wide open, tracing the threads of my blood/cultural familiy relationships over many centuries is humbling.

“I never,” says the Judge, “knew any man who was more remarkable for that quality, which is called presence of mind. The more sudden the emergency, the greater the danger in which he was unexpectedly placed, the more perfect was his self-possession, as related to the faculties both of body and mind. In corporal vigour and activity, he was exceeded by few; and there was an ardour about him, which characterized every thing that he said or did.”
