Oscillating into Multiplicity

There is nothing more freeing than to grant oneself the permission to oscillate. To flesh into multiplicities.

I often find myself lost on how one presents or brands an “identity.” Recently, I was reminded by a friend that we exist inherently, regardless of how much force we apply to prove our “thus-ness” in the world. In her words, "You are right in front of me. I can see everything you are, your joys and delights, without you needing to prove any of it."

These days, I’m less interested in the narrative of the singular, and more interested in filling into the multiplicities of a self. I’m also interested in how these multiplicities are expressed in relationship. I'm curious about the relationship between people and food; between trees and fungi; between electrons; between seconds of time. The ellipsis, the moment between moments, is saturated with potential. A yearning to reach the other, like the magnetic pull between opposites. Every square-millimeter of the universe vibrates with play, and it requires more energy to resist it than it does to comply.

So, I will set aside coherence. There is freedom, and authenticity, in the expansion into multiplicities. In the oscillation between states. In being immeasurable. In being a state of impossibility, both particle and wave.

Defy definition. Do it for yourself, and for the very people who may seek what you offer the world.
