By Richard Mather
We see the visible world as somehow
inevitable, with all its ratios
of movement & rest, its manifold shapes
& ecstatic forms, not realising
that nature is always busy, acting
unseen in all its power, without
external cause, producing within
itself its own effects, differentiating
this idea from that idea, bypassing
one potential in favour of another,
& making actual a particular
mode of being (a mutation,
a thing, a body, a colour),
while keeping other potentials,
other singularities,
in mind for the future.
