Interstitial Being Is Integral Living

The American philosopher Bruce Wilshire first introduced me to the rich possibilities of inhabiting the interstices. Victor Turner deepened my understanding of them with his classic The Ritual Process. Ebrahim Moosa confirmed the significance of this way of being-in-the-world with his study of al-Ghazali.

This way is the Dervish way: it involves slipping through the cracks--for it is always through the cracks that the light gets in.
