What sound will the universe make When it dies?

What sound will the universe make

When it dies?

Will it crumble and crack,

Or let out a sigh?

Will it summon tears tragic?

Or at peace with the matter

Sit silent in thought

Or exude cosmic laughter?

How will we know if

The universe bursts?

Are we its sole conscience

Bound to one tiny earth?

These things

These things

The coyote sings

In the deep of the meadow

So lonely for spring

Will we ever know if

There's none left to wonder?

When atoms shake naked

Under skies torn asunder

How will we know when

The sage is withholding?

In the deep of the meadow

A flower unfolding

-Rich Pauloo

Global Brain

Everything is related to everything else. We know this by intuition, by listening and feeling deeply. We also intuit this via cyclic revolutions of electronic communications such as the internet, radio, television, etc. The world's "growing" a collective global brain to augment our biological heritage. 

Where is all this going? We don't know. We are "cells" of human life plunging into a great mystery.

The Great Work

"The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner."           

~~Thomas Berry, 1999

Grounding

We stand on the earth. But we might not be “grounded” – meaning that our heads are “in the clouds”. Mastery is when we are planted here and now in this spot. Rooted in place. So that we cannot be easily pushed over for others who are not being with truth. 

Grounding is a Qi Gong practice. Do the “horse pose”. It is fundamental. Stand with your knees relaxed. Back erect, comfortably, non-forced, yet straight. Your hands softly open and turned inward toward your belly. Arms extending outward a little. (Many variations on this pose exist!) 

Rain For Us

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.”


-Hermann Hesse

Fluorescent Bulbs

Have you noticed that after going for a walk outside you tend to feel better? I'm going outside to 'get my head on straight.' Stop your head from spinning; go breathe in the fog or the rain or the sun. You can find stillness in the thickest of fog.

Occupy the Farm - Gill Tract

The urban farm movement is "grounding the good society". Here's a living vision of a social-community seed sprouting in our urban worlds.
