I took four years off after 'In the Cut' because I wanted to see who I'd be without work. I even tried being a hermit in the wilderness in New Zealand.

Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind. ↗

What I really dream of is that somebody would blow everything I've done out of the water in a beautiful way, which would clear the way for something better to come along. ↗
