You are a beginning. Together we become process. At the core of this process —the us of togetherness, open and with purpose— there is dialogue. This dialogue is the miracle-threat of transformation. We translate ourselves into it. Thus we are while thus we are not! One individual calls this “Becoming.” Another calls it “Meeting.” More important than labeling a box is opening a door to the Magic Theatre. More important still is crossing a threshold. Tell me this: Has not anyone anymore ever heard of friendship? And what, once upon a time happened to the tightrope of trust and the fellowship-flame of courage? As processes multiply what originates as a singular beginning emerges as movement. A movement redefines parameters and sets forth the terms of change. Recovering our person we discover the persons of otherness. As hiding ends people speak fearlessly of the embrace of recognition and transport within a context-dimensional and in motion. Each angel hovers over. And the philosopher mouthing Mona Lisa continues the treatise on freedom and rebellion. Turning outward in the poetry of searching for what dignifies excites the blood in the same capacity that fire warms a wayfarer’s hands and elevates the soul. Out of placement and simple one step beginnings the vertical becomes visible and grows. A glow of silence (ancient narratives recite) surrounds every noble word. Beyond this there is little left to say. I have nearly said enough. Better to reach out and do something in good faith than sit alone in darkness listening to the ticking of a clock —as if to the ticking of a time bomb. Of course angst is a common denominator. To act is better. David Sparenberg 18 December 2012
