Richard, while reading this paragraph, the concept of Klafki, namely the
"fruchtbare Moment" or fruitful moment came to my mind. The breaking of
the bread provided the fruitful moment, linking that which were happening
before their eyes with the spiritual things which they were told about,
but did not understand.
The fruitful moment is major part of one of the seven essentialities of
creativity. A new creation cannot happen in the void. It has to emerge
from already existing creations. The existing creations have to make
effective contact for the emergence to happen.
Dear Richard and At,
I knew that if I closed my eyes and opened the many pages at random I
would find the future in the recent past and the deep past. I like that
phrase At, " The existing creations have to make effective contact for the
emergence to happen." That if I may say so is, in a Maturannaesque kinda
way;-) where science meets poetry, in the reflection in the praxis of the
praxis of experience.
Love,
Andrew
