31.05.2024 Forced essences

If i* were forced to posit an essence to reality, i wouldn’t/couldn’t. If i were forced to posit essences to reality, i would posit chaos, and within chaos: difference, connection and impermanence.

* i prefer using the non-capitalized ‘i’ instead of ‘I’ to denote myself for two main reasons: 1. It communicates less significance/reality to the concept of the ‘I’ 2. The form of the ‘i’ in that it isn’t one straight line without disruption is more accurate to how i think-feel about my self and any self. The ‘I’ is not a perfectly straight line with no pauses, disruptions or fragmentation, the ‘i’ is made through fragmentation, disruptions, spaces for connection, pauses and contamination. The ‘i’ gets closer to embodying this reality through its form.
