In the Era Cornucopia (1992 - 2019) the Girl set out to find herself as if in shards of a mirror. She was so faded her shadow was hardly a spot. Thankfully the Bird was just around the corner, touching down. Ever a wanderer, wings a-flap, the Bird came to her and whispered:
"Girl, where do you come from?"
This the faraway Chorus echoed:
"Girl, tell us now where you come from."
Nonplussed, the Girl readied herself to continue on her way.
"But Girl, stay. Stay with me forever. I fly endlessly, circling the world."
The girl was swayed but not convinced. For she had walked many miles and found no rest.
"Bird, I love the heart of your idea. But I long for touch and the drawn-out sounds."
The Bird, brilliant and splendorous, lifted a feathered limb, stirring color into the breeze.
From that point on the Girl walked not forward but in a many-circled path up and down a long axis. Along the way she met many others, manifested as house guests, pictures, puppets, and lovers.
