interestingly the Celt year starts in autumn (and their day begins at dusk) - there is much to consider in the reasons for this . one way of thinking as a Celt is to imagine the withdrawal of life during the dark half of the year into the meditations of the last light half - like seeds falling and gestating then sprouting in the new cycle of light having related their data to the ongoing environmental changes morphed by time and circumstance. . .

February-
without its mother,
where's the lamb?

the sky is alive too - like soil (and other convenient scientific material distinctions) and places/receives orders for products (so to say) and this moment by moment for the maintenance of the whole . for example: consider the dialogue between local plants and local clouds as organic (rather than mechanistic) - both subjects being regarded as discrete living entities reliant on mutual cooperation for their incarnate fulfillment . this is another (modernistic) way of understanding the archaic notion of nature spirits and so on - a useful meditation for unveiling absolute unity/diversity in nature at work on earth as it is in heaven

seeking an intelligent response and engaged communication about art (or anything else) on social network sites is like asking God to let us all back into the garden by easy and direct means other than classical haiku - is simply not going to happen pilgrim ;)

the wise suggest that doing nothing is the final solution of all enlightenments - the reason for this is an oxymoron (not a riddle)

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” - Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
it is said (for example) that Celtic druids stood on opposing hills and fought telepathically ('magically') - the result being that often enough the warriors on the field of battle in the valley below went home without fighting (or partied together)

mistletoe tree!

matter as dense consciousness - or conscious sediment . we shook up a jam jar of soil and next time we were in science there were many gradations - small stones on the bottom and sand in the middle and clear water at the top

to the stars (and beyond) - this is the ticket price of that endeavor (dharma): there once was a great war and God explains why a king must kill his friends and relatives on the field of battle. . .

universal conservatism is a brake on hot-headed paradigm shifts ('speed kills') - factored into evolution until a tipping point proves itself (or not)?
