Confluence

"I saw this, and thought this is why it is important to do what you are doing this weekend.

Confluence
Just as two streams flowing together produce a mightier current,
Ideas meet and mingle,
producing new shades of experience
and meaning.
When time-honored practices are viewed
through the lens of new technologies,
and old materials are used
in fresh ways,
uncommon visions emerge, intermingle,
and invite further investigation.
Confluence creates fresh patterns,
etches new channels,
and forges a deeper flow.
When diverse cultures and ideas
intersect and then merge,
our art and our world are transformed."

Transcendental Etude

No one ever told us we had to study our lives, make of our lives a study, as if learning learning natural history or music, that we should begin with the simple exercises first and slowly go on trying the hard ones, practicing till strength and accuracy became one with the daring of breaking down the wild arpeggio or faulting the full sentence of the fugue.
--And in fact we can't live like that: we take on everything at once before we've even begun in the midst of the hard movement, the one already sounding as we are born.

Adrienne Rich
