Inquiries on vision(s) – show–ings

P(arts), and w(holes). Yes.

It will start, and then it will end.

And in-between, we’ll attend to its dying.

But that doesn’t mean we won’t have fun!

Ain’t gonna be possible to see it all… (There’s a big pillar.)

But maybe that’s the point. And the risk!

Vision(s), don’t necessarily rely upon seeing.

“The successful negotiation of holes […]

Is dependent on maintaining

A healthy respect

For what cannot be seen.” – William Pope.L

But still! there are options – choices.

Ways to collaborate with one’s own seeing.

Maybe the space behind the eyelids,

Is just as important here….

“The foundational paradoxes of the anchoritic lifestyle […]

The anchoress was simultaneously dead and alive;

The cell was both secular and sacred;

The life was both mundane and glorious.” – Michelle M. Sauer
