Images of revolutions like the one Bluevolution suggests bind beginnings and endings with an awareness of narrative causality, but they also preserve ambiguity. Images of endings move us toward new beginnings and vice versa because story patterns have no discrete first version or terminus. Many people hope, for instance, that the mass murder that had taken place only nights ago, as I began to write this, will spur new gun control legislation and spell an end to easy access to the industrial tools of warfare, at least on Main Street USA. The political consensus seems to be that no such change would have been forthcoming in an election year, if ever. A new feeling of safety for some represents an end of the right to bear arms to others, thereby fueling spending that ends the dream of fewer guns on our streets. How to parse these images in social, political, environmental, psychological, and religious realms? The “record-breaking” slaughter in a Colorado cinema has launched once more all-too-familiar fantasies of social apocalypse from which guns seem essential to defend ourselves. Meanwhile, international corporate-sponsored carnage continues to be visited upon Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as popular revolutionary movements in other parts of the Middle East. Perhaps it is possible to read this swell and crush of overlapping mythologies of conflict in a way that can make some sense and position a citizen to make some choices in the near future. If there is an evolution of thinking that can lead to this revolutionary sense-making, I suggest that it will come from under the usual world, from Soul, from death and grief.
