What if the ways you take up this space—the pauses, transitions, and gaps between doings—shapes the world as much as the doings?* Do we fill the space with restless preoccupation? Death drive compulsions? Nervous uncertainty? Or curious delight at the poignancy of each thing?**

What if the redemption of the world depended on how we fill it, or allow it to be its own?

*the shared implication of affect theory, Buddhism, apophatic theology, Deleuzian cinepoetics, among others

**as Blake, Rumi, Whitehead, and others would advocate
