Connective Tissues

Interfaces and Transition Zones––Where Stories Collide

 

"The soul of man with all the streams of pure living water

seems to dwell in the fascia of his body."

                                                                  ––A.T. STILL

[One way to translate from sexism to inclusion:

My soul, with all the streams of pure living wate, seems to dwell in my fascia.] 

Édourard Glissant proposes that rhizome is better metaphor than root. It is curious how the connective tissue of our flesh has so similar appearance. It als resembles astronomers' pictures of the early universe.

What is connective tissue? A meeting point of realms, a junction, a transition zone.

It always involves a gap. This is what the (-) of Ortho-Bionomy is what Pauls intended it to represent. It is the (-) that says "poetics."

The purpose of connective tissue is to connect. 

It is fractal, has symmmetry of scale.

 

Of same nature as what is usually called connective tissue: body schema, mucus, blood, nerves, micorhiza, mycelia

I am I and my circumstance;

and, if I do not save it, I do not save myself.                       —JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET

Changing the Conversation

I was born. I am always a vessel for something other than myself. The self is only a

vehicle for Foreign matter which comes from elsewhere and is destined to go on

elsewhere without me, whether it's words, smells, vision                                                      ––EMANUELE COCCIA  Metamorphoses

The Story Teller

Now, more than ever . . . our place in the universe and the place of the universe in us, is proving to be one of active relationship. That is more than a scientist's credo. The separateness of our lives is a sham. Physics, mathematics, music, painting, my love for you, my work, the star-dust of my body, the spirit that impels it, my politics,  clocks diurnal, time perpetual, the roll, rough, tender, swamping, liberating, breathing, moving, thinking nature, human nature and the cosmos are patterned together.

      —JEANETTE WINTERSON                Gut Symmetries

What you do, what you become, is not my concern.                      ROBERT MCCALL

 

 

Yes, there is beauty

There is love

There is joy.

All you who suffer from

the world's miseries

Defend them.
