Tuning

Posted on December 19, 2023 by John Biscello

Find an old radio. Instead of tuning to stations tune to years. See how far back in years the bandwidth goes. Choose a year that most suits your mood and mental state in the present moment. Stay tuned to that year for a long spell and see what it has to offer, what it reveals. Between stations, notice how much silence you can find, how much static. Clarify, or purify the station with vivid remembrance of the year from which you just came. Option to leave the radio on all night, tuned to a specific year, while you are going to sleep. The next morning, try to recall what dreams, if any, you had. Also, notice if your surroundings have changed, and if so, how.
