Love this post. It reminds me of the concept (developed by Hartmut Rosa) called "resonance." It's an interactivity between you and the world, that allows you to speak and act authentically but also allows the world to speak and act as it wills. The interaction is mutually transformative. (Does that, um, resonate as much with your piece as I imagine it does?)
Craig, good to see you here. It does resonate, and not vaguely. Rosa may be the closest company this piece has in European thought. His word for what cannot be forced, Unverfügbarkeit, is the fisherman's situation exactly: you can choose the spot and wait, but the tug is not yours to schedule. And he knows the darker half too, that the moment you optimize for resonance, it goes quiet. Maybe resonance is what jinen feels like from inside a relationship, when the world is allowed to answer back. Thank you for hearing that in the piece. Our conversation on your show is still working on me, slowly.
