blue between clouds

    the blue pain of my childhood

    the cradle of the sun

"A vague mist", Ferdinand Ortler, Walt Whitman

wonderful, though i contradict and do not contradict: it is possible. 

i firmly hold the view, not opinion, that matter is spirit and spirit is matter, we cannot separate one from the other, and as Teilhard de Chardin would have said, we are spirit travelling through a human experience.

what we see never is what we see, and our perception changes with our concepts and ideas and words.

but no, the plants we see are as 'real' and alive as we are, but i am sure they are spirit travelling through the experience of plants: beyond our grasp but not beyond.

it feels wrong to see 'solid things', maybe this is what Whitman feels and cannot quite express?

A vague mist hanging 'round half the pages:

(Sometimes how strange and clear to the soul,
That all these solid things are indeed but apparitions, concepts,
         non-realities.)

― Walt Whitman

                             

 

invisible realities, William Segal

The world is filled with invisible realities. But, if people do not see or hear, then these realities do not exist.

William Segal

note: o i know it is vague. just to ignite today's walking-through-air.
and of course, everybody can google Wiliam Segal.
