Resonance
I've been thinking about resonance lately, and relationships in the context of resonance - I think spark is actually an agreement of principles or looks or goals, and that spark is actually the flash of recognition of yourself in someone else.
Regarding attachment, we must attach and let go attach and let go as artists, because we need to show people what attaching and letting go looks like. We don't have the luxury of ashramic release of attachment. Our transcendence is of a different order that requires the flesh as a part of it. And we don't have the luxury of comfort - finding states of mind that are comfortable and staying there. This does not mean that we must be in constant danger, just that our safeties must be as fully sensory as our dangers. We don't have the luxury of dullness.
I'm talking about myself, of course.
