10 sentences on writing

Dec 31, 2005 14:05

1) When I write, it is not just: I don't just write.
2) I inscribe the measure that makes it possible to distinguish the limits of the just and unjust, the boundaries of order and disorder, right and sinister.
3) This act of inscription makes it possible to discern the agency of an "I" that enacts this inscription by letting it take hold and take place.
4) I perform the act of writing, but my action is characterized by acting patient, acting passive, acting receptive to that which I am enacting -- this active passivity (and passive activity) is the circulation of light.
5) "I" can enact writing only be letting writing enact me; I can write only in not writing; I AM only with/in the transitive processes of luminous circulation.
6) It is not I who writes, but writing that writes through me.
7) This is not to say that "In the beginning" there was writing, and then writing entered the realm of the One, then the One gave birth to the Two, then Two gave birth to all beings.
8) Writing is the fire that ignites and illuminates the differentiation between beginning and ending, the differences between the formless, the One, the many, the differences between self and other, between I, You, We, he/she/it, they, them, us, me, etc.
9) Writing is not a type of spiritual practice; spiritual practice is a type of writing.
10) Here, there is no trace of my writing.
