Four Miniatures: Aphorisms: 17-steps; Relational
Resonances; Pianoforte


(1) Aphorisms?--the place where logic follows
the markings on the flower of poetry  to meet
in the sweet embrace of new meaning.

(2) 17-steps: A reflection on the large number of relational resonances
among the elements of but a small set of movements


even a dance of

but 17 steps—

each movement

beyond our grasp


a dance of

but 17 steps—

count, and you trip;

don't count, and you fall


shape, time, frame, mind

but 17 steps—

each move swings

the dance of the whole


a loop of mirrors of

but 17 steps—

echoes reflecting

echoes


on the pool, waves

but 17 steps—

the dance is over

when they break

(3) Evidently, a key feature of the religious mind is its need to move
freely with the relational resonances implicit in every produced or used
artifact, every thought, every action. The apple may indeed be beautiful,
but to ask how, where and by whom it was grown, is a quintessentially
religious question. Always: the part wishes to know how it fits within
the movement of the whole.




(4) A fractal symmetry

in Western culture
