Noodle 011 - Lament for Atlantis - sound texture - with Surge XT

In these rare moments where the air is light
It's easier to breathe the oxygen
And though my eyes are waning in the night
The clearness of my mind is mine again.

When I gaze upon your gemstone orbs
I see the riches of the universe;
Your fingers and their feathered touch transports
My soul to realms that rise above the earth.

Yet despite this call to greater majesty,
And though my heart does soar on eagles' wings,
I am yet grounded in simplicity;
My joy is built upon the smallest things

You make me laugh and smile and cry and sing;
My heart is filled with all these smallest things.

And somehow unbeknownst to me,
It is through these I touch infinity.

Entry for OSC#181: Psyllium Disco

"Captain Silverpants was so excited to have received the bulky package of little seeds from the man from Aberdeen.  He had ingested the lot about 30 mins ago - his eyes were closed letting the feeling grow and grow.  Where would it take him..?

Hours later, reading Wikipedia while still on the toilet, he discovers that, despite it's funky name, psyllium is mostly used a constipation remedy..."
