This reminds me of the Sapir Whorf hypothesis. Not in the conventional sense of language being reflexive, but more the notion that Language itself is a folding; An abscurity within itself... for what language reveals, it also hides something else. Thus we shall never know the true name of God and whatever we intend to communicate will never be exactly what we want to say. Fuck. God is laughing at us but Im also sure They stay in heaven because They are afraid of what They created (Good one Steve).

Often times Ive chosen to stay in those liminal states because they seem inherently more real then the thing that comes out the other side. So complete you cant even comprehend it. But I guess that would break one of the fundamental laws of our strange world; In order to be, you must be seen, and you can't see yourself with your own eyeballs so you need other people for that. So here we are doing the impossible with the improbable. Casting nets of words and expressions through the void. We are the cleverness within the dice.

Love that. The cast through the void resonates with me strongly.

As a person that builds things with his hands as well, I know you also can see the parallels with the physical and mental when it comes to liminal states; the act of approaching the goal can be so much more valuable than the moment of arrival sometimes.

The paradoxes are everywhere.

It sure can, but as i like to refer to it: "The folly of man" is also to know they must share something with the world and be seen as well. If we were to rest in the liminal state forever, there would be no point in existing. One time I made a drawimg of an awesome shelf that I was to build for a school project. Only problem was the way i had drawn it was impossible to make with the same proportiona in "real life". Too bad, it was a pretty awesome shelf before i ruined it by making it real. Lol.
