As I move and adapt to different places, displacement is percieved as more of a natural state. A natural state of restlessness, of a paradox..how does one dwell in this state of urest, accept it as a natural state?
Displacement speaks of exclusion, of an exclusion that is still part of the bigger and the smaller, thus becomes included. Inclusion by Exlusion. It is what makes differences within a system. A statement, “What is not here, is somewhere else” could be an example for the naturality of the concept of displacement.
Displacement speaks of the specific so obviously and brightly, that one never fails to notice it.
It speaks of an extreme, while in reality it is as oridnary as a leaf blowing in the wind.
It is that which speaks of staying and never stays.
Speaks of going and never goes away.
Displacement speaks in memories.
