3.28
Things are devotional: “They are leaning out for love. And they will lean that way forever.”[1] So, too, they lean in loss. Beings are exposed to connection and failure.
Things are devotional in how they thrust forth under the auspices of prismatic gods and intensities, and open to things and worlds. They give and risk themselves, calling out a quiet tune. They are openings and opened-to. They are opening-while-holding-back (§2.99).
Things open to us, and also retreat: we tend to see wisps of worlds, not worlds in full.
