“Now and Not Yet” reveals when something is both fully realized and still in process. It's being hungry and full at the same time. It's new life sandwiched between a war and a marriage. War, allowing things to die, marriage, bringing things to life. At once, it's proclamatory and satisfied with longing, heartbreak and suffering. It's the story of a bride caught in battle, her weapon, the daily ritual of emptying and waiting to be filled by someone greater than herself. Each day she's hopeful she'll be filled a little more, gaining territory until she passes over the threshold into the infinite where she'll finally be liberated through being completely full of the other's presence. This work takes a deeper look into ritual and narrative.
