Reply To: What’s In a Name?” with Stephen Gerringer”
Hello,
lovely salamander symbolism.
“INELUCTABLE MODALITY OF THE VISIBLE: AT LEAST THAT IF NO MORE”
“diaphane in. Why in? Diaphane, adiaphane. If you can put your five fingers through it, it is a gate, if not a door. Shut your eyes and see.”
I am life incarnate in death …
I am death incarnate in life …
I enjoy the contemplation of the Hamsa. An abstract hand. The evolution of the hand. Four fingers with opposable thumb. The five pillars the five wounds of civilization. The human grasp , tool builder. Grasping all we see. Seeing all we grasp. With our eye. Building. With our intellect that can soar to the heights of human perception. Standing on the shoulders of giants. We can see back through history through the wound of one hand to prehistory. We can see through the wound of the other hand to the future to post history , where the many narratives shall be woven into one. Through the two wounds flows the blood of history. We grasp with science the very fabric of the woven quantum universe. Strings woven in M theory. We can grasp add to the symbolic knowledge language of our ancestors. We can regenerate their passion their inquisitiveness their awe. Petition their protection and guidance through the written word. A tool of great worth. With pen in hand sight shall be bequeathed to the reader. The fire regeneration transmigration metempsychosis of the soul shall be achieved as a torch pass from generation to generation. A laying on of hands. A passing of the breath of Life …
We are being watch by ancestors of the past. We are being watched by children of the future … through holes in our outstretched hands … may they applaud our incarnation …We are hung between these poles… Our generation … Ours is the sound of one hand clapping … Can you grasp ?
May our citizen Dedalus lay the golden egg of wisdom at the feet of our children as he migrates from past to future over the mountain 🏔 of civilization of institution of temporal form … on Sandymount Strand …
