Cycles

There has always been this repetitive nature to the way I live my life. Things go up, then come down, then they go up again, something that a lot of people identify with, I'm sure. Over the past few years I've really tried to focus on the nature of these cycles and what, if any are the means for manipulating them. How does one stay up? Or make down portion of cycle shorter? Or are both parts equally necessary? The piece I'm working on for the upcoming screening is about this kind of stuff. Sort of a carnival ride. Exhilarating and at the same time potentially capable of inducing vomit. It really is fascinating to watch yourself go through one of these cycles and to remain aware of what is coming next. Either you're going up, or you're on your way back down. But going up is just what happens before you go down, and being down means you're on the way back up. So whats the difference?
