Everything consists of connection, and these connections are rarely made in a linear or predictable fashion. Ruptures, holes and distortions appear. Zigzag is continual movement, immanent in the dimensions of time and space. It is the movement of the possibilities of life itself. As movement of whole and part bodies, as movement of lightning, as movement of an ear, an eye, a paw, as movement of the forces of gravity and desire, as movement of animals in and out of territory.
