Anabiosis
by: J.G. Thirlwell
Anabiosis means revival after an apparent death, for example from a coma where vital signs have been lost. But it also means a state of suspended animation, a kind of biological hibernation where certain aquatic invertebrates can adapt to survive long periods of drought. I find this idea uplifting. This piece is cinematic in nature. I leave the narrative to the listener. --J.G. Thirlwell
