LOOK UP, LOOK OUT | PRINCIPLES OF ABOVENESS | GALLERY III
THE STATE OF WOWNESS*

LOOK UP, LOOK OUT | PRINCIPLES OF ABOVENESS

IN THE NATURE OF SEEING, THERE ARE DIRECTIONS – THE VECTORING OF PLACE AND SITE, SIGHT SEEN AND UNSEEN. BUT IT DOES COME DOWN TO THE LOOKING – AND THE LISTENING IN THE LOOK.

LOOK UP, LOOK OUT | PRINCIPLES OF ABOVENESS

AS ONE STUDIES ANYTHING, THERE IS THE REACH BACK TO THE SENSE OF SENSING IN THAT SIGHT, THE INSIGHT IN THE BEAUTY OF WHAT HAS BEEN MADE. THE PROFUNDITY OF SOME PLACES — IS THAT THERE IS A BRIDGE TO THE SIGHS OF SIZE — MAGNITUDE.

THE POETRY OF THESE MASONIC STROKES, THEY CURVE AND CURL UP INTO THE LIGHT — LIKE, LYING IN SOME SAND BUILT CHAMBER, FAR BACK IN THE EARTH, WHILE THESE GRASSY FURLING BEAMS OF ROCK REACH UP, HOLD EACH OTHER.

IT DOES COME TO THAT, THE HOLDING OF PERSON PLACE. ARE YOU AWED?
OR IS THERE A MIX BETWEEN THE AWE, THE AH?

PATTERNING THAT LAYERS IN STORY ON STORY ON STORY — UNTIL, ONCE AGAIN, YOU MOVE BACK INTO THE LABYRINTH OF THE LIBRARY AT BABEL — AND THE ALEPH EMERGES, AS YOU REST ON THE FLOOR, LOOKING BACK INTO THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF YOUR MIND IN MEMORY.

BACK THERE, AT THE END OF THE ARRAY OF CURVES AND ARCS — ARCHES REVEAL A DOORWAY TO SOMETHING BEYOND — WHICH IS HERE, BUT IT’S ALSO:

OUT
THERE.

LOOK UP, LOOK OUT | PRINCIPLES OF ABOVENESS

*I think about wow[ness] as a state of exhalation, that moment when something is seen, discovered, in scene sensed, that demands surprise, alarm, captivation in beauty. The shock of the beauty full, newly discovered — that is wowness.
