Paul Robson

I must begin to further accept things as they are. No amount of force, desire, or persistence will give me any more or less control to the things that go on within and around my life. My only ability is to acknowledge the actions that occur and respond accordingly. Life is fluid and unpredictable, no matter how hard I try to make it less so. I will make it my goal then, to stay conscience of chaos and to find peace within it. 

The Aurora [x]

A severed head is conscious, and in some ways hyperconscious. The head knows it’s been picked up by the hair and shown to the crowd. The head sees the crowd, hears the crowd, smells the breath of the executioner, thinks happy thoughts, cannot believe how long 40 seconds is, because 40 seconds is how long the average head remains fully aware, if not alive. Forty seconds of indescribable pain and horror.
