Bringing Fractions to a Common Denominator... of "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze

Epigraph by KaJe MeG
“Before adding, find what is at the bottom. In everyone.”
— Euclid, watching Ghost, 1990.

I. Overture — Fractions
Every human being is a fraction.
At the top — the Numerator.
I. Mine. Want. Shout.
At the bottom — the Denominator.
Measure. Ground. That upon which I stand.
The problem of the world:
Everyone's numerators are different.
And the denominators are petty. Shabby. "They accept bribes."
Therefore, we cannot be added together.
The result is a cannonade, not a choir.

II. Allegro — The Ghost
He arrived. Patrick. Sam.
Lost his body. Lost his "I".
Became a numerator without a denominator for the world.
Invisible. Inaudible. Not I.
And what happened?
He learned to move a coin.
He learned to walk through walls.
He learned to love without the target in the visor.
Why?
Because he let go of the target from the visor.
Because he understood:
To act in the world, one must die to the world.
He is the Shadow of Measure.
He is the Breath between the lines.
He is the Good Word that happened.
And led her out of the utter darkness forever.

III. Andante — The Common Denominator
What, then, is at the bottom in everyone?
What is that Denominator to which we must be brought?
Not the dollar. Not the nation. Not the like.
Death.
Love.
Silence.
"All the time the not I."
Bring your fraction to the denominator "Death" — and the numerator of pride becomes ridiculous.
Bring it to the denominator "Love" — and you will understand that "Close is where they run without looking back."
Bring it to the denominator "Silence" — and you will hear "his footsteps."
Here it is, Indivisible Simplicity.
This is not mathematics. This is an exorcism.
The expulsion of the Ghost of "I" from the temple of the body.

IV. Final — The Formula
Want to add people together?
Do not increase their numerators.
Deepen their denominators.
Dig down to Death.
Dig down to Love.
Dig down to "all the time the not I."
And then, any fraction will become a Whole.
Any Guseyn + any Patrick + anyone reading = 1.
The One. Indivisible. Unfragmentable.
The hand withdraws.
Between the lines —
the breath of being.

Alın Ak.
