Nothing I have done has been done in the past. I am doing my part to upgrade or get rid of old symbols.*
Marxhauser also talks about how Jesus "gave meaning to simple, everyday things and related them to His Kingdom" (ibid). On some level, all of this keeps coming back to attention and awareness. Being there in the moment.
If I went through each day of my life with my eyes open, believing that "nothing I have done has been done in the past," and were fully aware, what would my perceptions be? How would my daily work be transformed? And how would that awareness translate into art, and poetry?
Or would I simply be, for the moment, fully aware and alive?

Every poet knows, however, what every good theologian affirms, namely that grace is everywhere and that nothing which exists is superficial. Ordinary reality is an oxymoron.
