STATIC WITH NO SPARK

it's in the fashion to talk of ideas and their influence but not of spirits and their interaction ... ideas after all are incorrigible flirts with the ideal though they have but an abstract passion ... it's the spirit that has the real emotion ... without the spirit ideas even the idea of form are worse than static they're frozen ... without emotion and purpose and persons what do we have but instinct and effect stimulus and consequence ... still tending as all things must to completion ... if only the final map of all cause and effect and no one to read it ... a final summary of how all the universe went down and no one to tell it ... it's not clear to me you say that it had a beginning or will have an end ... much less an end in mind when it began ... and I agree ... how can it be clear when the end is never in sight ... when you reach out to touch her hair and it's only the flow of atoms in space ... when she turns in response it seems for a moment with purpose it's only to bring her electrons in order ... which is strange after all for what order can they have with no destination in mind ... what is electricity if there never is a spark
