The Yes Manifesto

Yes to the near, to almost imperceptible subtlety

To the small that becomes immense when seen

Yes to sensation and to the tactile glance

To skin in its depth of field

Yes to the raw, to the restrained, to the analogical and to the acoustic

Yes to possible truths, to contradiction

And to the tension between poles

Yes to honesty, to leaps without safety nets,

To knowing where one is going even without knowing it

Yes to the present, to catching the ephemeral and freeing it, to intuition

To the impulse that one must wait for and to launching ourselves at that impulse

Yes to silence, to doubt, to the radical (at root),

To the soul that bares itself

Yes to balance that trembles

To the power of vulnerability

Yes to emptiness, to mystery and

To interweaving words to name the unnameable

Yes to what escapes us and to what we let go

To letting something happen

Yes to the process of becoming, to the continuity of the discontinuous

Yes to the most intimate dimension of creation
