Are we witness?

Are we witness to testify to a judge?

Witness bears weight

Elie Wiesel on p 11 of his preface to Night, writes: “It is obvious that the war which Hitler and his accomplices waged was a war not only against Jewish men, women, and children, but also against Jewish religion, Jewish culture, Jewish tradition, therefore Jewish memory.” Thus, witness bears some of the same weight as does memory. Even a memory that might only last until the wisp of smoke falls apart—but nevertheless memory that long.

Notes float away

We can catch glimpse here and there of the same notes sung by music, poetry, play, and conversation, and then like a dream, the clear similarities float away. We no longer see, we begin to question. We are left only with wisps of beauty and holiness. These come and go. They dance with us. They fly to ethereal place-times. Play is somehow these growing edges.
