A while ago there was nought to talk about - no new films, nothing new in terms of the show, all we were giong to get was what we'd come to expect.
Now however there are new things that take our senses and ask us questions, such as, will we accept this, is a little give-and-take going to lead to a higher appreciation - if we take everything that trek has to offer, the sweet and the pungant, will it remain as good an experience?
We knew what we were being offered before, but it had become bland. Now our choice has become not whether or not to taste, but whether to swallow a strange concoction that trek is now serving up to us, with no idea what it'll be like. A true choice, to accept that 1 moment of unknowability - a moment that may last a good while indeed, if a new taste is interesting enough.
But... I guess what I'm trying to say is, this requires a part of ourselves - that we offer tgo trek an element of ourselves, so that it may be returned back unto us, but mixed together with what trek has produced, which in turn was prompted by us! But please, not as some distended intellectual apprasial - this process of intermingling must be a product, an extention of our life-force, our *very* being - fed back to us by trek, who gave us our life back.
And so, we learn that the only experiences worth knowing, are those out of our control.
