In Episode 17 of The Mirror, I extol the virtues of a practice of reflection and lingering as part of a meaningful life, and a healthy approach to creating art. This extensive look at my own practice is a recap on the previous 6 months of changes in my life, from quitting social media and developing a healthier relationship to communication technology, as well as expanding my artistic horizons through watching films and reading fiction literature. I offer in this episode how all of this has informed my practice for the better, along with my view of what separates humans from mere animals, before sharing some insights from Frank Herbert's brilliant novel Dune.
