The Deliverances of Dervish Dasein

Dervish Dasein consists of moments of Heideggerian mindfulness, diligently practiced; such moments yield, in turn, occasions of Balzacian observation and Paterian appreciation. It is in the deliverances of Dervish Dasein that Being becomes articulate, meanings are made tangible, and art and artist indistinguishable.

In the language of the Islamic tradition: it is in the deliverances of Dervish Dasein that the sacrifices of surrender (islam) and the agon of faith (iman) yield, over time, the Near Eastern prophetic tradition's human ideal: the muhsin or insan al-kamil.
