Wozu Dichter?

Heidegger once said that our essences
Were to be found within our existences
And that existence is in each case mine.
But when we peer inside our own abysses,
Seeking the solace of our core selves,
Dread Sartrian nothingness returns our gazes.
We seem to be fully as centerless
As the universe within which we reside.

The centerless universe is just some artifact of abstract astro-geometrical calculation. My existence is at the center of the world bound by the hermeneutical horizon.

Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock 'n ' roll station
And it was alright.
    -- The Velvet Underground
