While the word aedicule
has a structural meaning - something more or less precise - it is in
its origin a relative of 'aedes',
Latin for 'building', which I suggest is a less precise word. In their
comprehension of life, the celebrants of the Winter Solstice Competition,
will use the word 'aedicule' to refer to a space within a space within a
space. They do so in opposition to that understanding of life that
sees life as a 'journey'. For celebrants of the Winter Solstice
Competition, life is not a 'journey' it is a
space within a space within a space, or an aedicule.
Then there are those in whose comprehension there is a river tumbling
toward the sea and in this river we are overwhelmed, but generally cared
for, by an understanding greater than our own. |
For celebrants of the Winter Solstice Competition the aedicule is more
like a sphere,
than it is a series of boxes.
The older I get the more I lean toward the aedicule. Journeys and
rivers have too much of the mole to them. A sort of tunneling blindness in
combination with a sneakiness that makes for aggravating
personalities.
