  "context": "Alexander's closing section uses this probe to convey the phenomenological process of seeking the I in any act of making.",
  "invitation": "Strain your awareness as if trying to catch a haunting melody heard from very far away. Ask: is this thing carrying that haunting sound, or not? Keep looking until you begin to see a spirit in the thing, an emerging wholeness only dimly heard at first.",
