Back to AtD; 'a brief moment of certitude' p.950

[Mark Kohut]

p.950 If Cyprian is some kind of new ideal man, new ideal man-woman so to speak, and in some way
he is a new ideal person, fer sure, right? (not THE ideal but an ideal/) then he exists in some new uncertain
transvaluation of all values, yes?.....some new relativity (as simple metpahor) of relationships? 
 
and then he is handed Ljubica...."Cyprian] took her warily, her lightness fitting so easily after all into his hands, 
nearly tugging him off the floor"----don't you love that? -- how does lightness tug? except in the pull of 
father-like love?.....
 
"But more than that, the familiarity, as if this had already happened countless times before. He wouldn't dare
say it out loud. But, somehow, here was a brief moment of certitude, brought back from an exterior darkness,
as if to fill a space he could not have defined before this......."
 
in this book of satirizing almost everything, where all the religious stuff seems to lead to no clear religious
acceptance---but to an embracing of Mystery as the religion we might believe in----here is 
 
CERTITUDE.....holding a new person. One meaning of life is new life?
