Abstract
I cannot find words for what I want to say. It has been that way for most of my life. I came to Futures because of this aphasic condition. Futures offered, it seemed to me, the place/space for the ‘unsaid’; for the emergent and ‘not-yet’. Yet in futures I must face my own finitude, my own limits. I must listen to the beyond as a distant heartbeat. I must renounce words yet use them to craft a space from which other anticipatory senses can perform their magic (Bussey, 2017). So here I stand: wordless yet full of them! My anticipatory imagination (Bussey et al, 2017) churns and I notice that memory grows more powerful the older I get; foresight becomes more urgent as I look into the abyss.
