I'm noticing that all the change, the gain and loss, doesn't diminish or expand nature one bit. All this becoming and unbecoming, this shattering and flowing unfolds within Nature's completeness. Her sandbox has no limits. She's not confined in the extent of her expansiveness. She's also not confined to the layers and details of the boundaries she creates within the sandbox. Wherever Nature goes, she's definitely there, in her elusive totality.

Good morning Tony,
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful written piece. Thank you for that.

Thanks, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteLike all great observations, this corresponds both above and below I think. I bet if we could fast forward a few billion eye-twinkles we'd see anabolism and catabolism of galaxies- forming, dissolving, reforming, like clouds of the sky. Likewise subatomic particles twinkle in and out of being. Even water, the root of life, rhythmically dissolves and reforms internally, all the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael. Yes, the great mystery of nature is how it appears to devour itself to continue. By eating it lives. The archetypal image of the Ouroboros, the serpent swallowing its own tail to continue the life cycle, sums it up, opens it up and mystifies it at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTony, This post so beautifully describes the creation/destruction cycle of Kali. Your writing is eloquent. Thank you for noticing the similarities of our blog posts and directing me to your gorgeous site.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
