"...our exile is a sign that our creation continues."
P.S. - Simone Weil offers this:
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul. But uprootedness is not the worst thing. What is horrible is to be uprooted without transformation.”
>Exile or dislocation can be a sign of ongoing transformation—a continuation of creation rather than its cessation.
Whew. That's a great quote from Simone Weil. Thanks! This openness to one another, this open-ended journey together, this political polyphony in which voices "are never subject to dialectical resolution, but remain unmerged in ‘unceasing and irreconcilable quarrel'" remind me so much of some of the points you develop so well in your own writing. I'm really glad you like it.

Wonderful, Bryce. Thanks.

Bryce - I'm glad I like it, too. You surely elaborate your point, and, as always, make it from different angles. Thanks for your own footnotes. !
