Apeiron (/əˈpaɪˌrɒn/;[1] ἄπειρον) is a Greek word meaning '(that which is) unlimited; boundless; infinite; indefinite'[2] from ἀ- a-'without' and πεῖραρ peirar 'end, limit; boundary',[3] the Ionic Greek form of πέρας peras 'end, limit, boundary'.[4]
The unbounded edge of the real; a wild beyond-human intelligence dancing in the wind, 4 billion years in the making.
The river Lethe was the aqueous threshold to the unknown, the river of oblivion facilitating the shedding of all memory and attachments. In that darkness lie the depths of all things- we are born from a womb that lets just as much light pass through the swollen belly of the mother as that of a full moon. Wedded to night. Birthed from and returning to it. What would we know if we lent into unknowing? What do we need to forget to remember? Aperion is the unknown looking back at you.
Forget what you think you know. Listen to what you cannot understand. Collaborate with the incomprehensible. In learning, the unknown is always our greatest ally. We are all flying at night.
