The process of transformation consists mostly of decay and then of this crisis when emergence from what came before must be total and abrupt.

How do you calculate upon the unforeseen?

It is the job of artists to open doors and invite in prophesies, the unknown, the unfamiliar;

Instar implies something both celestial and ingrown, something heavenly and disastrous, and perhaps change is commonly like that, a buried star, oscillating between near and far.

Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.

Some things we have only as long as they remain lost, some things are not lost only so long as they are distant.

It was as though the whole world consisted of the tiny close-up realm of these creatures and the vast distances of heaven, as though my own scale had been eliminated along with the middle ground, and this too is one of the austere luxuries of the desert.

Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from,

The things we want are transformative, and we don’t know or only think we know what is on the other side of that transformation.
