some boundaries in pacres are conceptual ... others are for the rhythm or the sound ... but it's all flexible ... like life ... rhythm meaning and sound ... with a pause or two for emphasis ... like history or a story being told ... like history when it is a story being told ... not like an opinion being argued or a theory being weighed but characters and events with a beginning middle and an end and significant words being said and powerful ideas being served ... a good story ... you know what I mean ... with a good ending ... it's always about desire high and low ... tragedy and comedy in that order ... when tragedy is heroic and comedy broad ... when words are meant to reach god and fall just short of the angels ... when they whisper in your ear and make her smile ... when they mean to give us meaning and do it with a pause ... you get the emphasis because of the pause ... your attention is alerted ... the dark age is about to close ... the light air of promise is in the dawn ... that's what a day is for ... all the others just support it ... oh what a morning ... there never was another like it ... the pause ... everything begins (2/3)
cf moltmann, theology of hope, 3.6
