Redemption --- I awoke with the word on my mind's lips. And just now while reading Riven Rock I came across the word again. The sense is one of the uncanny, a hidden author, or, guide, presenting me with signs. My father, perhaps. Redemption comes with the paying of a debt, a debt which one owes upon entering the theater.

The debt is of the unpayable kind; all the debts incurred and payed along the way do not payoff the debt, nor is any payment final. The theater is founded on debt; in the absence of debt the edifice crumbles. Redemption, or, atonement is what must not happen if the play is to go on. The second coming, the pot of gold, lies just over the horizon. Debt dogs us, as we pursue that point on the horizon.

If my father and I are one, the gig is up; if my mother and I do not separate, the gig can't begin. How are the monkeys to do business in absence of credit and debt?
