Time and place, viewed from historical perspective, yield artifacts that illuminate culture, and among these are arts, ideas, and sounds.
Common objects become brightened or burdened by meaning. Some knowledge, clear and detailed, contrasts in other cases with a void of information about which there can only be speculation.
Yet the arts speak, written words resonate, sounds make their presence fully known. In contemplating these, their pneuma, that is to say, their breath or spirit, is revealed.
Within the spirit of such sounds and visions lie any number of possible futures, and all their implications for the living.
