Crossing into the light under full
labor as opposed to Cesarean
short- cuts.
“I could not imagine pain
that made a person happy.
Hours into the labor, she
shrieked so fiercely
I thought she was dying.”
The God of War, Marisa Silver
Passive Aggression.
I plan to row across the Atlantic
this summer, so to speak—in manners
of speaking. Me and the elements and
my imaginary friends.
“In talking with Gregory about something,
I felt that the talking was closer to the
something than with anyone else I knew.
“He served as a kind of nexus where
ideas met and propagated outward—
not self, but organism-plus-environment,
not causality, but interrelatedness.
“The principle skill he taught was
awareness of context—to see the
world not as a collection of things
or persons but a network of
relationship, that network bound
together by communication.
“Both Zen and Gregory’s brand
of science derive from close
observations of how things are
rather than how we may want them
to be."
("Old Men Ought to Be Explorers,"
Stephen Nackmanovitch on
Gregory Bateson.)
