because
for little reason
it was out of tune, as if by snow,
the bell that
is rung
for the evening meal
F Hölderlin, Hymn (excerpt)
editorial
outbreaks
to emerge
for animals : to hatch from an egg, etc.
for a flower : to open, to blossom
figuratively : to be born, to appear, to develop
an outbreak is a definitive rupture
it is preceded by maturation until its completion
or saturation with possible deterioration
then, inevitably, a trigger brings about the transition, revealing something completely different
the telling signs ?
the crack
a split that appears on an object, without the parts coming apart
a change in the tone of voice
a small sign of dissent, the first sign of disagreement
the fissure
a breach that occurs in the veneer of a personality, conventions, or a situation
the break: ending a commitment
cover by Maurane of “ne me quitte pas” (J Brel)
a liberating interruption
it is irresistible and there is no turning back
growth and development have reached their maximum
closure and withdrawal have become untenable and unsustainable
a break in continuity: imperceptibly or suddenly, it gives way, it lets go, nothing holds together anymore
we are on the verge of changing state, plane, dimension
to invent another balance
gone are the process of development and clever survival strategies !
the imbalance is obvious
in response to entropy, we must create new forms that are harmonious, consonant, and therefore viable
after disunity, separation, and the death of the old
there is an urgent need to discover or imagine new connections with ourselves, with others, and with life
a renewal
