The blizzard textures and videos link the two
worlds together. I am not of this world. I am
of the avian kind, caught in branch phenomena
utterly foreign to me. I am imperfect starling.
Also I am ice.

I run the statistics panel in the center of the
image. It parameterizes the image, gives it
coherence, processing values. It's the pulse of
the image. Also it's the breath.

Now I cannot breathe, there are too many
wonderful things to say. I will listen to you
if you speak clearly. I am an avatar caught
in ice. Also I am caught in prims and meshes.
