Carried: Ear Drainage (II)

Other people's pain arrives at full volume, undiluted, as though it were addressed to me.

Reception runs without a filter on the outward-facing side: what other people are going through is taken in at its own intensity rather than at a reportable distance. This is not imagination and it is not weakness — the accuracy is usually high — but it is undifferentiated, so the suffering of strangers is processed at the same strength as that of intimates. Nothing sorts the signal by whether it can be answered. What the shape asks for is a scale, so that what comes in can be weighed rather than simply absorbed.

The Archetypal Form

Guanyin, whose particular capacity was to hear every cry in the world at the moment it was made. The form implies a task: to be equipped for the hearing rather than undone by it.
