402. You are part of everything.

Fantastic

'Stuff your eyes with wonder... Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.  See the world.  It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.'

 - Ray Bradbury

'There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is miracle.'
 - Albert Einstein

'The wind is low
The birds will sing
That you are part 
of everything'
- The Beatles

401. 'I've seen the ocean break on the shore come together with no harm done'

Ocean-Lotus

'wish i was ocean size

they cannot move you
no one tries no one pulls you
out from your hold
like a tooth aching a jawbone...

i was made with a heart of stone
to be broken
with one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
break on the shore
come together with no harm done...

it ain't easy living...

i want to be
as deep
as the ocean
mother ocean

some people tell me 
home is in the sky 
in the sky lives a spy
i want to be more like the ocean 
no talking
all action...
no talking
all action...'
 - Jane's Addiction, Ocean Size

400. 'The real marks of wildness...'

Nature2

'Nature is never interrupted, never takes a vacation, never stops ruminating over its systems and tinkering with them. It works beneath a nano-level with the intelligence of entropy aimed at infinity.  That's a lot of hard drive, a lot of gigabytes, a vast span, a wide plane of action, and all of it at a speed far greater than that of light because it effectively combines the velocity of all its operations at once.'
 - Richard Grossinger

'There is a great insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore: that Nature is a minded entity; that Nature is not simply the random flight of atoms through electromagnetic fields; that Nature is not the empty, despiritualized lumpen matter that we inherit from modern physics.  But it is instead a kind of intelligence, a kind of mind.'

 - Terence McKenna

'The real marks of wildness are a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown.'
 - Robert Bly

399. 'My dream was made for me as your dream is made for you.'

Dream-2
Dream-2

'It is a funny dream, with an exact sense of humor.  It fits my brain like a glove fits a hand; it fits my life.  A dream is never off the rack.  A dream is always sewn with your exact dimensions in mind, your humor, your obsessions.  A dream fits.

When I began to study my dreams closely, I noticed how exquisitely made they are, how difficult to communicate that exquisite beauty to another because in most dreams the exquisite is idiosyncratic.  Each dream invents its own beautiful language, and something always gets lost in translation.  My dream was made for me as your dream is made for you.
A dream provides an exact tincture of the soul, a strong whiff - ammonia or perfume - to wake us from a faint-hearted life.'
 - Rodger Kamenetz, The History of Last Night's Dream

398. Who eats light?

Bamboo

WHAT SHE WANTED


What she wanted was to return
to the original rainforest

hear water pushing
through the sapwood

and leaves eating light
as she wanted to eat light.

She knew her nature
was to be water, not wood.

She knew there was a grove
of vertical rivers

of roaring waterfall-trees,
and a grove of whirlpool-trees

with vortices she could dive through,
past the hollow years of her life

right back to the roots.
