[Dialogue] Wayne Nelson

[James Wiegel]

For Wayne, a few sentences from an old friend.  Sentences that have been going round and round in my consciousness since I heard of his death.
 
We come from a dark
abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life.  As soon as we are born the return begins, at
once the setting forth and the coming back; we die in every moment.  Because of this many have cried out:  The goal of life is death!  But as soon as we are born we begin the
struggle to create, to compose, to turn matter into life; we are born in every
moment.  Because of this many have cried
out:  The goal of ephemeral life is
immortality!  In the temporary living
organism these two streams collide:  (a)
the ascent toward composition, toward life, toward immortality; (b) the descent
toward decomposition, toward matter, toward death.  
. . .
And, later
 
Which of the two
eternal roads shall I choose? . . . Of the two, I choose the ascending
path.  Why?  . . . I choose the ascending path because my
heart drives me toward it.
 
Seems, every time I encountered Wayne, in person, over the
phone, via email, I met a man who chose the ascending path.  Blessings

Thank you Duncan, that is a great shock and very sad to hear. I am glad to know that Jo and the family are together. My thoughts are with them, and with you and all of Wayne's colleagues at ICA in Canada as well. Best wishes,
Martin
