The Physics of Nothingness

Folder: 
6-The Weird Stuff

A confused young woman from a Canadian border town

spends years in an asylum seeking purpose for her    

dismal life.                                              

She finds true happiness within the tarnished walls.

She appreciates the beauty in things that some people

consider truly ugly.  She lives a short life,  

but somehow she knows that she lived for a reason.



All we really see is the past.                            

Nothing we experience will last.        

An entire lifetime can go by so fast      

that it's easy to get lost in the past.          



A smart kid from the Carolina's has plans for his future.

Someday he'll be famous, someday he'll be well known.

He's got books inside his head, ideas he's formulating.

Theories he may prove.  Snakebite to the ankle kills him

at age eighteen.



All we really see is the past.            



A thin Welsh orphan ends up on the street at a young age.

No one to take care of her, she has to fend for herself.

No money, no family, no home. Has to resort to turning

tricks just to keep fed.  It's not a pretty life, but for one

brilliant moment love was found in the arms of another

woman.                                            



All we really see is the past.                              

Nothing we experience will last.        

An entire lifetime can go by so fast        

that it's easy to get lost in the past.
