Fantastic article. I've been trying to lead myself back to existing more often in the being state, after having realised how much have my life has been spent in threat mode and the doing state.
I love how you focus on Margaret's insight being very much tied to her mortality. I think our self-awareness of our mortality is perhaps the engine of poetic intuition - the desire for a mortal soul to experience and cling onto a few shards of infinity.
Jacob, this beautiful reflection itself embodies genuine insight. Thanks for the encouragement of my work and strength to your arm as you pursue your further reflections on art! (btw, who is going to win tomorrow--Liverpool or Man City?)
Well, tragically enough, I'm actually an Everton fan. So I'm obligated by the inflexible laws of football fandom to say Man City. Though, all bias aside, I would predict Man City to win anyway. I think it'll be close though - I'm saying 2-1.
