RE: The Magic & Mystery of Birds — Featuring Videos (Day 43)
I'm grateful you shared your justly Curied bird poem, where we seem to arrive at the same conclusion:
a truth as collapses
toward one
Geometric certainty is also a nice way of putting it. That's where the awe of scientists comes in, the source of their holy curiosity (as Einstein put it).
I'm in Florida, USA, it's 3:30 pm--a good time to take a computer break & spend some time with a book :)
The universe, language, society, small habits of birds and people - seems to me it's patterns all the way down. I think that's where my love of system science comes from, an appreciation of this stuff first on the poetic level. A lot of it also bears striking similarities to buddhist teaching...
Nice one - sending my regards from ever-rainy Britain ;)
Islamic teaching, too, with its emphasis on geometry, patterns, the mystery of numbers, etc.... Theologians argue, mystics agree as Meister Eckhardt says. Truths hides in plain view itself, waiting for us...
Btw, I went to boarding school in good ‘ole UK (Bristol) and, despite that, retain a fondness for ever-rainy Britain 🇬🇧
Haha, that's awesome, glad we didn't scare you off completely :P
:D Brexit gave me quite a scare... But, then, the entire world seems to have gone insane... (and I might visit London for my upcoming book launch: https://unbound.com/books/where-epics-fail/) .
