Philosophical Speculations

I'm experiencing an out-flowing of associations with this 'pictorial thinking' theme. Not making a profound statement but surely enjoying the process.

Even if we can visualize it in photorealistic vividness, we still can't see anything of what is written inside. What's inside comes from the opposite direction,...

"Honoring the Wild Proliferation of Earthly Perspectives" is a probing discussion of perennial problems of language and being by two of my favorite writers, David Abram is a leading proponent of developing an evolved animism and Merlin Sheldrake's best-selling fungal frolic "Entangle...

Spirit has told me that in my final days, be they few or many, my mission is to be a happy person. Play is the way I'm doing ...
