When I post a section I have to work on it, which is good, and so is feedback. Much of "The Move," an autobiographical novella, is about synchronicity. Creating new patterns and connections. Unfolding previously unknown paradigms into new realities, to be superceded by yet newer paradigms in the process of a life...
Section #80
She continued probing how what she needed, an apartment, furniture, kitchenware, appeared seemingly miraculously. She was like a magnet. Attributing it to divine intervention was just a form of metaphor to explain it; angelic beings weren't carrying items to her. Anymore than the way any church, synagogue or mosque attempted to co-opt the process of miracle to justify their version of godhead. No-one can claim ownership of this process. What religions attribute miracle to, the stories they create to explain what is unexplainable, because it can't be willfully recreated, are just metaphors for the process, a way to explain the way to.
She had her own metaphors, ones not relying on a moralistic theology. She likened eruptions of the miraculous to an alchemical process. That the deeper work was at the atomic level. Where the vibrating energy flies to form molecules which form things. Before gravity binds them. Once they are bound, they remain that way until the forces of chaos and entrophy break them down. After the molecules fly and before gravity fully solidifies was when it was possible to shift the making of the world into new forms, models, paradigms. Where it was possible to wish a future into being and have it happen.
Where miracles happened.
Sheath of feeling. Words groping to touch air.

Do you still feel that way this week? Are you feeling any better? I hope so.
ReplyDeletemb, I wrote this little piece late last Summer/early Fall... though I just edited it. Where I am living was solely for my daughter's sake, it's in her school area, and for my dog, it's in a dog-friendly house. It was only meant to be a stepping stone... I took the other post down because I didn't want anyone here to read it. The mircrowave is gone, my landlord bought a new hotplate today. But I'm looking at ads, realizing that it's getting to be time to move on...
