Hyphen is pregnant with and incubates the infinite, whether
in and with its visibility or invisibility.
So trans-forms the meaning of “transact.”
“Trans,” in
chemical parlance is analogous to “acronymous” situation, with identical groups
of atoms placed opposite to each other attached to carbon atoms that are joined
by double bonds, in the same molecular plane. “Trans” in simple terms thus
comes out as “opposite.” But when I look at “transact,” there is a
“trans-action” of thoughts in the mind asking: While transact pertains to
conduct, as to how one deals with beings and things, how one deals with one’s
own Self and thus with the world at large, does it also beckon to trans-form
the act and trans-act, evolving the reactions to responses, as consciously
evolving beings?
