A Transitional [Translational] Birth
What is the nature of the space between thought and action, between intent and execution? Two events, the birth of thought, and the expression of intention in the material world, are simultaneously infinitely near and infinitely far from one another. In this state space is dimensionless and formless. Thus the transition from intellectual glimmer to intelligible reality is fundamentally one of becoming.
As I am writing these words, I am simultaneously aware of an almost primal urge to growl, claw, and hum their meaning to my audience. Although the written or spoken form of this thought will have to suffice for now, I can only imagine that at the core, in the most primal and original regions of my mind, that place where “thought” is not the correct term for what is occurring, it is different.
There is a fundamental relationship between the way we think, and the way we act. What we idealize and what we create, and what we conceptualize and what we make. The question for me is not why this is, but what this is. What is the nature of this dimensionless and timeless chain of events? In what space does it occur? What is generated from this process: impulse to instinct, ideation to conceptualization, thought to action, head to hand. And perhaps more importantly, what information is worn away, mutated, or lost in its translation?
