Forgiveness is a play of grace. The reclamation habits freedom from the potency the character works out by the image—the choice to accept or refuse the activation of grace. (The acceptance is freedom; the refusal is licentiousness.) The Character of Image discerns the potentialities and aims for the good—to rest in the good. The grace reclaims the good and their fortitude presses into the potential before the act: the matter of time.
Upon their reclamation, within the potency of the moment, the Character of Image excludes potentialities by their singular discernment, advocated and ascended in the act. The prodigal verve of possibilities, and the excellency of choices to come, is the heart of the theatre. Yet, the temptation to habit all possibilities and therefore live with all choices, which is the same as saying to live without choice or growth, is ever present. The decisive moment always presents itself in the decision to reclaim the image or lose the image. The lost fall into the license to do all and therefore choose nothing. The reclaimed ascend to will the good: the aroma of healing and the will towards it, the challenge to achieve it—to accept it, to arrive at it. The reclamation is from the image. The potency within the Character of Image rests in the laying out of the moment, discerning the act. Choice supreme?—the character lost into the structures of scattered chaos. Supreme grace: the ascent of the imagination.
