If and Then
I'm running after the word release—trying to understand our relationship. It's a slippery word—skittish, refusing to help me understand our connection.
A hide and seek game—with me pursuing the word and asking for a personal explanation. When I first picked up the star with the word release I knew we were well mated. But this digging around, foraging for the precise reason eludes me—or is it that I recognize the connection and find it too hard.
It's not what you don't know that upends you, it's those things you do know.
I'll keep chewing on the word, asking questions—but not necessarily expecting answers. It's not as simple as saying if and then. Sometimes the if is greeted by a resounding silence. A deep abyss of silence. The if falls into a crevasse and the echo never reaches the surface. All is mute.
Does it matter? Does the release happen because one confronts the if and longs for the then response—but the liberation isn't dependent upon the reaction, the response.
