Spirals and such.

I read Lance's An Ode to the Sprial (on this blog) and it got me thinking of spirals of course, the way a maple seed spirals to the ground.  Maybe not truly a spiral, but truly wonderful in its own way.  And that got me thinking about things we may see but not really appreciate.  So here's another yada- yada about such things.


Seeing Things


In the space between where the pines and aspens grow,

in a sunny open area of grass and flowers,

a tiny mushroom pushed its crown into the light, then another, and another,

until a tiny forest of psilocybie cubensis bridged the gap.

This was but one miracle you missed, another occurred nearby

where a big strong battered fish laid her eggs in the gravel

of a stream a thousand miles from the sea;

no fanfare, no cigars, no champagne, just a small miracle.

And there were others you didn't see, even in your own backyard.

Sofa-Philo: Musing on Reincarnation's Knots with a Woman of Faith

Greetings, fellow sofa-philosophers! Today, we're venturing into the swirling mists of reincarnation, guided by a question from myself, a woman of faith not confined by organized religion, but embracing the eternal, believing the Divine and defined by relationship. Buckle up, for we're tackling thorny questions that may prick even the most seasoned thinkers. Firstly, the "one spirit or soul" puzzle. Some interpret it as a single, eternal entity cycling through lives, carrying experiences like baggage (or maybe souvenirs?), while others envision a pool of souls embarking on independent journeys. Both hold fascinating implications: the single soul whispers of shared pasts and intertwined destinies, while the individual soul speaks of unique paths and a boundless universe of consciousness. Then comes the elephant in the metaphysical living room: population explosion. If souls cycle, doesn't the human herd keep multiplying like bunnies on espresso? Some hypothesize in...

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
