#deathdenial — Public Fediverse posts

Those are powerful thoughts and images. I shall take time to re-read and reflect.

Composition / making is twinned with decomposition / unmaking, and blocking out the decomposition side paralyses us. The Epstein class are the pathological expression of this denial, and we can only fight them by recognising the healing and growth-giving power of loss and and loss-integrating renewal.

I love how you link these strands to Hannah Arendt's analyses. (She is the most under-rated political/social thinker of the mid 20th century.)

(There are resonances with the I Ching and the Tao Te Ching too!)
