What we bring to the table

In this table, the option of holding hands is given form. Does it affect behavior, and does it make holding hands more likely?

With every encounter, everything changes. When we encounter one thing, we encounter all other possibilities of encounter: new constellations, assemblages, and contexts. This table is static, but it has an effect of movement on its surroundings. Us and the things are connected. No borders—everything is permeable, including my physical body and my persona. Nothing is predetermined; there are no rules, no goals. It is a situation, an offer for thoughts or actions. It intervenes in the current flow and adapts to a new one.

Texts that I liked to read that keep me from doing

why do I like to read so much instead of just doing?

Karen Barad - Agentieller Realismus

When two hands touch, there is a sensuality of the flesh, an exchange of warmth, a feeling of pressure, of presence, of a proximity of otherness that brings the other nearly as close as oneself – perhaps closer. And if the two hands belong to one person, might this not enliven an uncanny sense of the otherness of the self, a literal holding oneself at a distance in the sensation of contact, the greeting of the stranger within? So much happens in a touch: an infinity of others – other beings, other spaces, other times – are aroused. - Karen Barad
