Through a Window

Let’s Start at the Beginning

Let’s start at the beginning

I was about 7 or 8 years old. This would have been the late 1950s. Lying in bed and looking at the ceiling, then the walls. If I shot an invisible arrow in that direction, it would bounce off that angle and hit other wall. It’s an imaginary snooker in my head.

Indeterminacy was and continues to be a conundrum.

Why stop there? The beam of light was unimpeded by material considerations. It could just continue to deflect from one angle to the next, Walls, floor and ceiling are all interconnected. inertia was overcome and there were the windows too. The light beam could deflect off the glass and continue its angular foray.

Eventually, it could penetrate the glass. The sky was out there. There were clouds but there were no angles to bounce off. Where to go? Indeterminacy was and continues to be a conundrum.
