"Despite our bondage to the world of new refrigerators and flights to other plants, one must also reckon with hints of victory that are also woven into the fabric of the human story. What is this hint of victory, and where is it to be found? Not inside the four walls of one's room or in lecture halls or libraries, says Czeslaw Milosz, but though communal participation the veil is parted and for a breif moment the space of imagination, with a capital I, is visible. JOY surfaces spontaneously when people come together, even strangers, to participate in something that exceeds them and unites them. Yet even in utter loneliness and seeming darkness, a seem of possibility flashes, the rumor of something new waiting to break in." Christopher Pramuk
