And yeah, you mention that times may never be certain - I believe that the past always looks more organized in retrospect. But yeah, I'm glad you like the childlike understanding of it - that resonates to me at least, I can personally remember a time in my life that was more mysterious.

(i'm not sure that times have ever felt particularly certain. not to artists, at least?) but i like your image of a child with a stick in the forest. i like thinking about it on that level. great post. are you compelled by the idea that new mysticism is largely informed by the fact that we live in ‘uncertain’ times?
