“The dream of radical transformation, of one day
waking up and finding himself a wholly different
(more confident, more serene) kind of person,
of escaping that prixon of the given, of feeling
divinely capable.” Connections. Jonathan Franzen
"The notion that disturbance can increase biodiversity opposes
the older idea that diversity is highest in undisturbed ecosystems"
It's the disturbulation (of one's universe) that's prerequisite , don't
you think, Graham? for the origins of comedy (joke), tragedy (art)
and invention (science)? Could we turn it up? This prerequisite?
Put it in play?
Or call it de-moralization. ("That damned moral sense," Twain
grumbles about it.)
Demoralize sounds harsh which may be why voluntary-systemic-
change is probably a mission impossible. Sustaining the status quo
makes good common sense and is non-counter-intuitive,
non disturbing. .
IT has to happen (transformations)--HAP happening happily,
rather than by strategic and tactical planning. measurable aims
and goals, assessment and evaluation, all of which reinforce the
"moralization" in place--validating the assumptions and operating
metaphors and guaranteeing more of the same, how could it not?. .
Takes a disturbulence to raze a village. . Collision of various habits
and habitats, crashing frames of mind-set and attitudinal
configureations. A shared sense of this rupture & rapture
--a demoralization-receptivity call it-- would help ease
if not eliminate the pain-it-takes, true?
Oh, it hurts: we must be doing something right.
Gold's Gymnasium.
Collision--the mother of Comedy, Tragedy, Creative Invention:
The origin is the same: what determines the frame of mind?
Need we argue?
Talking transformations here--Jeanne Sommer's style--
not your every-day formations. There's a difference.
"Women Beware Women"--that sounds uncanny.
Counter intuitive. .Like crying Theatre! Theatre!
in a crowded fire.
xxxooo, Sam
