The Gateless Gate


For a few years now I've had the pleasure of following Joel Weishaus' growing digital journal, THE GATELESS GATE, glorifying the complementarity of word and image as he creates a context and the conditions for emergence. Another installment of poetry, science, image, and spirit just arrived (pp 41-50; illustration from p50) ... has this journal grown in grace and poise as it walks the line between chaos and insight ? or is it resonating with previously unknown circuits within me. (the best journals, said Wordsworth, create the taste by which they will be relished). Braque once said that art disturbs while science reassures ... so Joel gives us the (deceptive?) safety of science enabling a greater adventure than we might have otherwise undertaken.
