May the option of freezing rapidly dissolve
Time and space are not awarded to us, we must carve them out and protect them. The eclipse felt like destiny in that I went out dancing and went to four places in one evening and also felt like destiny evaded in that my mind was in places my body wasn’t. Or perhaps my body was filled with a destiny separate from my wanting. Time and space is not a part of destiny but it is a part of how we can lean into self discovery and patience.
Yesterday walking amongst the sculptures of the Heidelberg Project in Detroit with Lukaza we were talking to Tyree Guyton, the project’s creator, about time. Where are you going with time? What are you looking for? Did you find you? He continued asking us question after question about our relationship to time and even in the asking I just kept thinking, there’s not enough.
A perfectly timed stop, Tyree invited us down the street to the Heidelberg Project Art Gallery to show us some of his latest work, off the grass and onto the white walls. It felt like a portal of time, like we were dropped into the sculptural museum on the street just as he was headed there, so he could take us to see what he was so excited about. In the gift shop I bought a book and a sticker that says ART IS TRUTH. Today I am thinking about exactly that. Writing is truth, art is truth, creation is truth. We are here at this time in history to tell the truth.
