Our discussions about light come to mind especially your exploration of what it means to be in one place and the space that entails.
Here’s something about light, it’s superpositional. It doesn’t hold space. Because unlike objects more light can be in one place at any given time. I think all the light is in each place all the time, but that’s a longer, much longer conversation.
Light’s superpositional capability is observed by us every time we open our eyes, especially those of us with two eyes.
Think of it. One eye takes in light from all directions. As far as the eye can see. All directions. The other eye would not be able to see anything except for light being superpositional. Without superposition the light seen by one eye, light coming from every direction, would not allow the other eye to see anything.
Luckily, light doesn’t hold space, so light can crisscross from all directions, everywhere all at once.
Sorry, to hear about your decline. Luckily your light shines ever brighter.
ONCE AGAIN, I AM AMAZED AT YOUR ABILITY TO WRITE SO BEAUTIFULLY. YOU ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I AM SORRY THAT YOUR PARKINSONS IS PROGRESSING. I PRAY EVERY NIGHT THAT IT WON'T GET ANY WORSE. MY HEART IS WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
Jeff, your journal telling the story of your new challenges with Parkinson's is a remarkable tale, telling people what this is an how one can continue through it. As difficult as this is, your writing about it is a contribution. Thank you for your contribution.
Deeply impactful piece. Not only do you offer a definition of holding space, but you also create space for others to contemplate and follow suit. What a gift.
Hey, Jeff. Holding space. Another great read.

She uses a single wire that runs throughout each piece. It's like a through line for our lives. Beautiful, Jeff.

Beautiful and impactful piece of writing, Jeff.
Inspiring!
Really nice piece, Jeff! Holding space seems like a genuine expression of love. Thank you!
Will definitely see the Ruth Asawa retrospective when it comes to NYC in the Fall!
