tangled forks and roots
I am seeing Gendlin’s philosophical writing as leading me to a series of forks where the first fork is meeting People, the second is Intricacies, the third is Possibilities, and perhaps the fourth is the Crossings of Intricacies and Possibilities with other Intricacies and Possibilities: a whole mess of tangled roots! The result is that we ourselves and our acts stem from many roots, and might flower in many ways. Or we can shrivel up and not take nourishment from any others, humans, plants, humus, or fungi. This suggests that our human root system extends beyond ourselves to other living beings, and we can be in symbiotic relativity with all.
