25 | The ceiling is_---here he put his eraser to his bottom lip, thinking. | ||

27 | _The floor is reality and the ceiling is ~~aspiration~~ ~~desire~~ that which is desired. | ||
28 | CRAFT is building a [chair][] from wood. | ||
29 | ART is using the wood as a substrate for an emotional [message to a future person][], the READER / VIEWER._ | ||

42 | _Our advantage is [memory][]. | ||
43 | Our advantage is the reaching-out over space and time to others with our words, our ART. | ||
44 | Our buildings last for generations, and after they are demolished they are written about, [photographs][] are taken, we **remember**. | ||
45 | The [act of memory][] is our only ART._ | ||
