"Within every binary, are worlds in their becoming." #BayoAkomolafe and Andrea Hiott are having a conversation about radical incompleteness, love and holding paradoxes. Very moving!
Love is the radical incompleteness of everything, says professor, philosopher & poet #BayoAkomolafe. Because everything is incomplete, there's a constant re-turning, never coming back to exactly where we started, coming to know where we begin. It's the rhythm of #ritournelle
