GRGR(10) - Kilroy Again

[jonathan schultz]

Reversible?  If it were then we wouldn't recognize it as reversed( I know
it sounds as if I am exclaiming this with the cool confidence of someone
who knows absolutely that this must be the case, don't get me wrong, I am
just assuming, but active voice is the friend of the successful
rhetorician) for it would be the same as it is now.  Poles of opposition:
Winter and Summer, and poles of opposition in transition: Autumn and
Spring.  As most know the metaphorical models for this constant arc, or
circular flow, or parabolic wave sign ad infinitum are as plentiful as
groups of people to have witnessed them throughout history.  A good basic
myth finds a great mother (Moon) ruling over the natural universe, she has
a son in spring, he comes to age in summer showing us all his fury and
youthful exuberance, in Autumn he settles down and seduces his mother, they
consummate their romance and he dies.  The mother plunges earth into
mourning until she has the son of her son next spring.  It can be reversed
but it would end up the same, it's that the cycle works so well, so
infallibly that makes it genius.
