Robert Archer Smith: Principle of Exigency

Here is the letter from Bob: 3/30/89

"Everything is brought to a point. There can be no leeway in time or space. There is just no consortium of finitude with infinitude. There is no bridge, no commuting. Indeed there is no verge at all. And due to the immutable finitude of man, the reasoner, the observer, the philosopher, infinitude remains forever beyond the pale. Relative to infinity, that is to say, everything finite has the dimensions of Euclid's point (p. 7 Epistola 3.30.89)."

Interpretation: We meet the universe today. The sun reaches down from the sky to meet this leaf. This leaf is indeed this leaf thanks to an encounter between the leaf coming into light and my eye. The common go between is light. Light lighting the world and light lighting my mind via my sensing these beautiful, manifold things that today brings!
