We Are Suspended In Transit

Image
  We are in Transit Poem: We step forward. Each step stirs dust into the air. The dry, shifting evening air. The sun is neither fully risen nor a witness. A silent guardian. Beginnings and endings, both here and just. At this hour. And yet shared. This is where time unravels. Where place dissolves and where movement lingers without. No words, no destination. This is the place. This is the sacred space. Each step cannot ignore faith. Where time unravels. Where movement lingers without end. A witness, a silent guardian. Beginnings and endings. Both here in the distance. The burden we carry is more than we thought. It is more than it is more than distance. It's the stories waiting to be uncovered. And the bond we strengthen along the way. Unanswered questions. Deferred dreams. The hope, the hope of arrival, leads us forward. At this threshold, we are neither lost nor found. We walk in the in-between. Each step whispers. Here we are. Here we are in the middle, in the middle and transit

The Chariot Cave and Entity

 


The allegorical cave of Plato presents a compelling tableau where residents, shackled and deceived, view mere shadows as the totality of existence. Into this darkness arrives a beacon of defiance and enlightenment - "The Chariot" by Alberto Giacometti. Despite its delicate appearance, this spectral entity stands firm, embodying the audacious perseverance of the human spirit in its quest for verity. The chariot's wheels, though stationary, symbolize the latent potential for progress and evolution, challenging the stagnation within the cave.

The figure stationed on the chariot epitomizes the archetype of a visionary leader within this space of obscured understanding. This leader questions the prevailing paradigm, exhibiting the courage to turn away from the shadowy deceptions in a bid for illumination. The cave dwellers might view this quest as an insurmountable challenge, yet the persistent presence of the chariot stands as a testament to this relentless pursuit. In this philosophical narrative, the chariot emerges as a symbol of enlightened leadership, signifying our shared capacity to transition from shadows towards truth. Much like Giacometti's compelling figure, the visionary leader overcomes the cave's limitations, inspiring others to dismiss deceptive shadows, seek truth, and welcome the vibrant reality beyond the cave's darkness.
