Autumn 2024: Walking Away.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Submissions are CLOSED<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"In 1973, Ursula LeGuin wrote a short philosophical story that describes the perfect, peaceful, graceful city. A place with no hunger or sorrow, crime or discontent. A place where no one was homeless, lacked fulfilling work, and the arts and sciences flourished. Omelas. A place with a dark and terrible secret. And some walked away, unable and unwilling to pay that price.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness.\u201d Ursula LeGuin<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What is out there, beyond Omelas? What does the journey look, feel, smell, taste like? What will be found, what will be lost, and what will be left behind?<\/p>\n

What happens when one leaves? Who is left behind and who walks away? When is it the right action to walk away?<\/p>\n

Can one ever return?<\/p>\n

\n

Outside the city of Omelas is darkness, perhaps a wilderness, Le Guin does not describe the road away, nor can she: It is \u201cbeyond\u201d and unknown. Some few, unable to pay the price for the city\u2019s perfection, walk away. It is an act of infinite courage: There is no return, no slipping back into happy ignorance: only the path forward, into the unknown.<\/p>\n

She seems to register what is strange about this place. But she cannot describe what lies beyond, in \u201cthe darkness\u201d outside of\u00a0 Omelas, because each person there must make her own way. \u2026 As readers, Le Guin provides us with the building blocks to construct the city of Omelas, but if we want to forsake it afterward, then we too have to strike out alone. (DeGraff, 2015. pp. 121)<\/p>\n

Outside of Omelas is the world, where nothing is ever perfect, but where freedom may be found. – Coreopsis Journal of Myth & Theatre,\u00a0 Lezlie A. Kinyon, Ph.D. Ed September, 2016 https:\/\/www.societyforritualarts.org\/coreopsis\/fall-2016-issue\/walk-away-reflections-on-omelas-and-growing-up-during-the-cold-war\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
