If you put a cut piece of potato on the ground, it’ll create more potatoes. Transcendence implies going beyond the physical and material, typically understood with a religious connotation. Or, in our rat race of a world, to mean exceeding “ordinariness.” But what if we befriended the rats and cared for the potatoes? What if true transcendence can be found in the ordinary, on the ground, in the roots of things? Or, somewhere between the rooted and untethered, as Emilia Wang writes: In between the sky and ground, as you float, you enter into a cross-section of time. As you travel through it, you may observe that it is stuffed with frosting, insulation foam, and a bone structure invisible to the untrained eye. This space contains dreams where the future speaks to the present through idioms created by one’s own particular past. Here, future me comes back to find myself where I was not. Each moment is teleologically fraught, insolent against linear logic.
