Abundant Scarcity

 


I measure (all) things. Including my methods and tools of measurement. So I thought I saw/say the circle of material survival drawn and assured in the public domain, ostensibly a public good. We have externalized Cornucopia. But there is an inner world and an outer world: and the Sufis tell us the inner world (alam al-mithal) has a hundred gardens: and if we don't find or believe in the inner cornucopia, then the god of abundance will serve scarcity: how better to do that than to give us zero? To erase the slate, with all its museums, its symphonies, its mythologies: abundant scarcity!
