To Solemnly Affirm
by nathaniel
So, a fine repast of words to break the fast of a colder night, following on the heels of the dark coffee of morning. Echoes of some of the ecstatic verbiage I myself have employed back in the visionary days of music and art. It’s a nice partner to the wellspring of motivation I feel this morning, coming as I am out of a cloying blanket of illness. Things never look so clear, and hands are never so purposeful, as on the morning after. So fitting to catch an affirmation on a day such as this:
This is my living faith, an active faith, a faith of verbs: to question, explore, experiment, experience, walk, run, dance, play, eat, love, learn, dare, taste, touch, smell, listen, argue, speak, write, read, draw, provoke, emote, scream, sin, repent, cry, kneel, pray, bow, rise, stand, look, laugh, cajole, create, confront, confound, walk back, walk forward, circle, hide, and seek. To seek: to embrace the questions, be wary of answers.
- Terry Tempest Williams
Now, to dive into the computurgical world of ‘code’, where every word itself is an action, not transmitting so much as instructing. More later.
