In the hollow of the sling

Kaf ha kela as traumascape. A place of visitation and revisiting. Of and out of this world.

Why this motion, knowable only in terms of spacetime? (Where spacetime=place + time, that is, History) This trajectory is not punishment but pedagogy. Proof of acceleration. A way of getting closer to the divine. (The closest distance between two points is not a straight line.) The arc of the moral universe bends towards justice.

Cleo and Einstein as angels standing on the opposite sides of the world. Holding the sling like a jumprope. What are the opposite sides of the world? Einstein: Remember your humanity and forget the rest. Cleo: All that will keep you safe is cleaving to power.
