Variation

Variation

Staying at home, 

reflecting on the diversity of life, 

on bacterial infection of the knees, 

on ghostly ghosting images of metamorphosing half-beings, 

marveling in repetition and variation, 

delighting in encounters of transitional images of reflections of self and others, 

erupting in creational scribbling bursts of endlessly repetitive circumscriptions of flowers. 

There is never the thing but the version of the thing. 

There is always only a fragment of a fragment of a fragment. 

There is variation. 

There is life.

 Robert Faeth

Variation:

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are similar but not the same. 

Thing 1 has at least one property that is different from Thing 2.

A variation is a different form of something, a variant, a transformation of the melody or theme and in series of variations diversity, development and evolution, thus maintenance of life, is made possible.

It seems that whether or not variation would exist in reality is fundamental.
