Let’s consider this phrase:
‘The gods war amongst each other.’
— This seems to come out of nowhere, and yet it offers a different kind of vision from how we’re used to seeing things. Held in our disclosure, which acts like a background, this phrase can leap to the fore like a flash of lightning.
When we consider this phrase, we aren’t partaking in an intellectual game or poetic fantasy; the stakes are real. (We can sing a song in this key.)
In the flash across the gap between its vision and ours, it lights up our ways of thinking, including our ruts.
