A PROPOSITIONAL T I L T I N G 2011

A perturbation that sets the thing in motion. We are alluding to something beyond this caged identity in which we function or fall.

Along the way there are checks and balances to everything and in that respect everything is played into everything else in the wider motion on which we lean; through which we motion.

Do we know ourselves? Our thoughts, our motions, our utterances?

Only in the wider access through which we draw tiny incidents like refrains- slight tangents and their almost instantaneous interruption to be leant and curved along the way into this holding space; an emblem like a wrap-around in which you and I and another and another, like fold upon fold hold one another- off-set one existence with another.

There are tendencies- filaments and fragments that curtail, off-set and so set in propositional positions, one another.

So we come to face one another in the excitation and release of a thousand manoeuvres of compression and release. A tilting like a supposed desire- more like a yearning or a barely recognizable attachment to this sweeping through of pattern on pattern that we shape ourselves around in this colloidal mish mash of threads that intersperse, hold for an instance then let go in the give and take of going with and not going with these tendencies.

The checks and balance acts as small enclaves of constraint that then arch into a widening appreciation of a far-reaching set of influences even as we exist only here and now in this precise locality. We are positioned by our willingness to lock in somewhere, anywhere to this process.

Any movement, any pause arises out of these cross-currents like tethering a direction through a counter-weight.

Playing with the checks and balances does not fundamentally change anything. It may be that we are faced with a child with Cerebral palsy, with Autism, with chromosome abnormalities or physical and sensory problems. All it does is open up the possibility of a wider attention into this series of checks and balances. A play on engagement in a process that is on-going.

Playing with activation and relaxation we can create devices between us that are compelling and intimate compositions. The material flesh and blood- the circuits of synapses, of muscle responses and breathing routines become so many tendencies that are articulated perhaps as slight leanings off-set and reimbursed as systematic valves and resting points in this moment of reactivity. These are our deepest values.

All that is enmeshed in one another is of probable value; the compulsion to stiffen or go limp is not an end in itself but rather a direction that has run its course un-addressed but potent with possibility. It only needs activation- any form of interception to turn a corner.

We do not manipulate outcomes or fashion wish-lists for future activity. We engage in the quality and holding of what is there and what that comes to mean in the wider patterning that assimilates in this crafting of shared values. These allude to something that we feel out in co-action through the stops and starts without any of these units being in themselves the actual quality of that value.

We run with it or crunch down against this momentum, swerving or swivelling on the gravel to make something of it. This is the edginess of our meeting.

What matters is how specifically at each instance the conditions for creating a gage are made to occur- a holding that then re-winds into a pattern that is automatic and is a release out beyond and through any singular body and where the body does what it needs to do by acting on the immediacy of what it tangibly comes to address.

To run this into expression it is necessary to use the very tilt or aggravation that could be- if run indefinitely- a fall, an introversion, a spasm, a vacancy and as a pattern of movement rather than a broken part left dangling, to address all at once and in quick succession the tendencies that can play our of that tipping point.

Only then will a propositional biting point be set out of the reality of an emergency real situation. And so the situation met along the way as co-composition will be entered into as the point of traction, torsion, rebound, absorption that is felt out and pitched on the brink of a levity and near collapse, taken up in the last moment- the only moment given- where a motion simply happens and the body re-engages in order to be that perfect conduit in a wider movement. That is its value system; an imagining coming out of the commonality of a lived pattern. It is grasped in the immediacy of a total immersion or participation in an environment that gives us life and through which we hold life.

This is one tangent within a system which is making itself again and again on each new rebuke - each falling away and gathering. So life and death subsumes in one another as being intimately involved in a continuous pulsar engagement through which, like light between a screen, both occur simultaneously at different levels of awareness.
