Achieve (April)


“The achieve of, the mastery of the thing,” often comes to mind when admiring something well-done, where the work involved is simply implied in the outcome. A verb turned into a noun. Nor is it the same as achievement. Achieve becomes alive with the full implications of living that went into the thing’s being (active), alive now in its own being, or quiddity (passive). Thing is a comedown from achieve, but any other suggestions? The achieve is the thing-in-itself. Nor is mastery about control or winning a doctorate. It’s the Lord’s work of Creation, more awesome than kestrels in April.
