Seeing 2011 (#80)

For your consideration: an encounter with an abstraction in its own right.

As I reflected upon the composition the notion arose that two beings (yearnings? both?) are huddling together, about to create a larger whole: an expansion of consciousness where each might fill in some of the others' mental blank spots, emerging from darkness into light.

Here is a pair, each concrete and well-defined yet also devoid of much in the way of variety: considerable weightiness speaks for itself, but so too does the simplicity and relative lack of nuance. Such is the unconscious existence of many of us, until we find ourselves exposed to the proximity of outside concepts, wisdom and leanings of our fellow inhabitants of this moral coil.

I relish such communions.
