about….
There are these divine conversations, the kind of conversation,
I believe to be sacred, born from nothing,
it has no known equation to come into being.
I have had them,
I couldn’t hold them,
I can’t remember them,
so I’m trying to find them instead.
I’m looking for where they are, I’m trying to build a place for them.
It’s not that I want to remember every conversation.
I just want it to always be there.
A friend told me to consider not thinking in time. So I began to think in space. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli helps me with this; he offers another way to measure our world not in time, but through moments that can be seen as events.It’s suggested that all energy/things are in continual transformation. I start to think about language in this way too. Like the sun burns out, trees grow, or a cliff erodes, language is read/spoken/transmitted at a point and then evolves.
The sun, the tree, the cliff, and words are events and the record of their changes only linger in our minds or stories. I am starting to see a conversation in the world as I see a rock.
The moment of conversation is somewhere, taking up space just like a rock. They, like everything, are uniquely moving differently, and end up in different places.
