        MICROETERNITY.

A garden is not 'nature in the wild' but it is a microeternity.  Even though we may have 'put' the plants in their places, they are just as present and authentic as they might be in a wild situation despite being in a modified context.

Besides, who or what put us in the garden, and what does 'put' have to do with something that grows by itself anyway?

 

A garden is not a vast uncharted 'pristine wilderness' expanding to infinity, but it may be, to an ant, and an ant is obviously intelligent enough to know where it is, since it co-operates and naturally knows what to do in any given place or situation.

Whereas if i were lost in a desert, without reference points, it might take an observer from off the planet to reference exactly 'where' i am.

While we may well lament our lost link to the wild, a sacred mode of mind intrinsic to INDIGINALS, we can still readjust our focus without walking more than a few paces, to realize, 'eternity never went somewhere else'.

That, being true, we are free to return, come back down to earth, 'out of our heads' (whichever way you choose to read that) and come to our senses and be 'REINDIGINADOS.'

Living in our mind-constructs of where we are, instead of in embodied spirit, we seem to think we have to 'go somewhere, in order to BE somewhere'.

Thinking, 'the grass is always greener', when, in some places it's browner or there isn't any, or if there is, it's increasingly covered with concrete and poison.

An influential friend and artist, long gone to other realms, once said to me, "What IS landscape?  It depends on where you focus".  Either way, you're in it and of it to the extent that you are it, along with 'everything else'*, this latter term being an oxymoronic misnomer if ever there was one.

But for, 'everything else', there'd be nothing to be part of, and wholes don't have parts anyway.  Never mind 'greater than the sum of'.

So, since eternity never went away (where would it go?) and neither did anything else, it's not a bad idea to look closer into where you are.  As symbolized by the South segment on the medicine wheel (the 'close to', place) and our friend the mouse.  A mouse is highly intelligent too, i've witnessed it in close up.

We seem to think that everything smaller than we are, is somehow less intelligent, and even most of the bigger creatures too.  To think that way, is not a great sign of intelligence.  I mean, come on, there IS NO size in an infinite universe!  All my relatives, they're all relative.

We are far too human centred.  Without even venturing deeper into the infinity of 'the centre'.

Surface oriented is more like what we are.

Everything is a spectrum with no top or bottom.

While we remain relatively superficial in what we call 'the middle'.  That's a pointer to what i mean by the word ETERNITY.  It's wherever you are.

Forget the spectrum of time, past and future with now in the middle.  If it's always now, how can there be something else to be in the middle of?

Time is our recording of where the sun was, compared to where it IS, in relation to everything 'else'.

Amazing how often people say, "I haven't got time".

Well good!  Congratulations.  Now that you're here,

now/here, nowhere.  Relatively speaking, nowhere is everywhere, everything all at once.

So, having already said too much, enough to make a nonexistent point sound pointless, i may, for art's sake, venture forth into the micro.  Who knows, in uncharted territory, where you might find yourself?

Closer to the earth most probably, on all fours, all four of them, surveying the timeless terrain.

Encountering the lone ant scout carrying a bundle safely to its destination without ever going in a straight line.  Obviously knows what he's doing, or doesn't care and does it perfectly anyway.

These giant leaved plants overhead, what are they? 

Do they have feeling responses?  Well obviously they do, they even respond to 'our' feelings.

Observing the pea plants, first thing they do is they all reach out and link tendrils.  Bind round and round anything they touch.  They must be able to 'see', in some way.  It's a very intelligent collective protection against the force of wind.  Most humans would just hide in the basement.

Weather permitting, i'll just get more down to earth and come to my senses and get in focus.  Never mind 'revolution', that just goes round in circles to where it started.

Instead, and like any good reindigenal evolutionary REINDIGINADO artist, return to my roots in the timeless continuum ... and if anybody asks what i'm doing, i'll just say "I'm looking into it".

>Just to let you know,

i just took six GORGEOUS sunshine shots of my flowers, lupins especially.  Very colourful in close up and close to ground level, strong large compositions.

Goes perfectly with MICROETERNITY post.

Will email very soon no doubt~
