Imagining the 10th Dimension (video by others)

I don’t recall where I saw this first last week, but it’s so fascinating it deserves showing. Interesting links from it, too.

Does it bog anybody down when I embed videos?

Weeds

Weeds are artifacts
of ignorance,
of linear thinking.

There are no plants named ‘Weeds’.
They are just plants in our way,
obstacles to our illusions of order,
plants we don’t know,
plants we don’t appreciate.

Think.
Did thistles really appear at the Fall of Man?
… Riiiiight!

Come back to Babel, brethren.
Speak the spiral speech,
the eternal tongue of Terra.

Remove the lines of barbed wire
accusing all our neighbors.
Be clothed in peaceful attire
and be joyful in our labors.

Full Moon on Forest Snow

Speak to me
like the full moon’s clear whispers
to the quiet snow on the forest floor.

We were tight.
And neither will forget
the rambling on and off of paths in the night,
and the confidence born of gentle changes.

We enjoyed the silhouettes of finer things those times,
And learned real warmth
from the inside out.

Your soaring silver circle grew into me
And now shines back out
with the glance and smile of the evergreen,
the willing strength of the oak,
and the patience of the grass
beneath the moonlit snow.

Dancing with the shifting shadows as you pass,
we celebrate substance that will last,
As larger seasons loom,
are,
and recede again.

I am moved.
The trees
have studied my rise to power.
They love me, but are not moved,
except by the rocks they grow upon, that
have studied their rise to power.
