22_[ART and CRAFT][] are only the inside and outside of the same building.
23The ceiling is_---here he put his eraser to his bottom lip, thinking.
24He crossed out _~~The ceiling is.~~_
25_The floor is reality and the ceiling is ~~aspiration~~ ~~desire~~ that which is desired.

35[We have to try.][]
36We must labor to create our ART, [our buildings of air][].
37We lay them out brick by brick, we build them up by disintegrating trees and forming them again into what they were before.

41Our advantage is the reaching-out over space and time to others with our words, our ART.
42Our buildings last for generations, and after they are demolished they are written about, [photographs][] are taken, we **remember**.
43The [act of memory][] is our only ART._
