you can say i have the best job in the world, and perhaps you would be right.
is this because there has been a fundamental shift in the nature of corporate america?
certainly not.
you may be able to say it, though, and still be speaking an objective truth (ha!ha!ha!let us not bother to speak epistemology tonight, friends, there are more important things on my mind) because today i was able to read the entire of
Kabuki: Metamorphosis by David Mack.
"i'm speaking of the bridge to each of our worlds - the bridge between depression and hope, isolation and communion, illusion and representation. crossing the divide is a spiritual act. at its most abstract, folding an origami animal replicates both the growth of the animal from fertilized egg to adult (the early symmetrical folds parallel the highly mechanical process of mitosis) and the origin of life itself.
chaos yields order. formlessness to form. from the blank square emerges a chaotic pattern of angles and edges - a pattern we imbue with order and meaning.
eventually by slow awkward steps, the living creature emerges. it is impossible to identify the moment of metamorphosis for the transformation takes place within our own minds.
unfolding,
akemi"
