The Stories We Tell (Ourselves, of Ourselves).

by on September 11, 2026

When all is field, body (ground) | Idea, fact artifact of subject-object falsehood. Absolutes shift with field, body (ground). I change habits to accommodate act on kindness. I change rooms to accommodate act on love. Absolutes adapt | deeper than absolute (Tranströmer’s poem behind the poem, translation). Or, absolute is more surface than absolute. A lightness of absolute | but without idea, fact. Lived absolute. Kierkegaardian direct relation to absolute | can be less painful. Less restrictive, in fact (observation from field, body (ground): can be flowing. Beautifully flowing. Observed (at the end, or in retrospect and future forespect, casting forward, knowing all is flow, long time (long human time) all fallible | malleable built in) only then absolute. As absolute as a life. Not a principle upheld. A life (field, ground: unground, composite / composition -items woven, actions woven, no one but you can known or known) surmised. Biography defining absolute. The start of limiting: biography. Biography as in anthropology, long time geology, biology -all collapsed (and even more collapsed). Shorthand limits absolute.
