think about how two walks overlap. and two films. these night pictures are from the night before two films but they overlap with the films the following night as well as the pictures from the night walk after the two films. in some ways the pictures inform the films and the walk before and the films the night walk after. all of that and nothing about the films. i will say i saw two films last night. we have a new box for streaming so the films played seamlessly. they were beautiful films and somehow related though maybe just as they were a double feature and they overlapped in my mind. the first i mentioned before, the body remembers when the world broke open, and the second film was tell me who i am. 
now i don't know what to say about them. there was trauma in each, and a kind of resulting blankness. there was the need to tell the story of that blankness, what lies behind it or buried beneath. should i just leave it at that? will you watch the films for yourself and see what happens in your body? i'll think about them more on the next walk, but i think the weather is turning and i may get distracted. part of the experience of the last days has been the mild weather. i've been tired, but not in that hard mode of struggle in hard weather. i've just been working, not so much struggling as working with the animals and images, and feeling very lucky and connected and organic, maybe in the body sense, in my organs, my organism, in ways i can't necessarily articulate, but feel perhaps all the more.
