Creative processes (like weather) require excess the way cellular life requires water. Extreme abundances beset Increase with prodigious & problematic choices. An embarrassment of riches can make the well staked, procumbent. Enormous energies can force upon the supine, the spontaneous. Whet the appetite for dangerous mysteries that do not always provide the much sought for copulation.
The art of engendering novelty is to not know the way. An excess of the free inspires the effort to waft in error & wade through the vague, stumble into the unknown, companion the unanticipated & all the while, find itself entrained by a turbulent mixing that drives it from the deep rooted & leafy edge of tradition into a metaphor of hope; a trope of the fruitful that can defy the “mere contemporary”; as a romance of the prodigies that riot in wild speculation; prodigies of the ecstatic that just might incite the pregnant to yield the future!
In this heat we have left home to be with an old companion & wander the confines of Glacier National. Root Cap shall return in a few weeks to what most certainly will again be novel weather.
