This makes me think of the Bothness work that Paige - Metabolizing Reality is working on. Holding the tension between two 'poles' reveals something else entirely.
'Maybe the work (of couple therapy, of philosophy, of discourse, of everything) is not to choose between the specific and the general, or to reduce one to the other. It’s to stay in the between space long enough for something true to emerge. Some things may not be hidden underneath at all. They may exist only in the encounter itself: between the sheet music and the performance, between the cycle and the fight, between the pattern and its endless variations.'
It’s funny, I went through a bunch of old notes from grad school the other day and I can see the seeds of this everywhere. Maybe it’s one of those things we have to earn several times. :)
